UFC 207 salaries

Cody reportedly earned $200,000 in flat pay as a #5 contender coming into the fight. Champ Amanda Nunes also earned $200,000, but that included her win bonus. So it seems Garbrandt did really well for himself.

How in gods fucking name is Ronda worth 3 million?

Would you have shelled out 60 bucks for the card without her?

Don't you do digital advertising? I am sure there are metrics either CPA, CPC, impressions, CTR etc. that could be used to measure the user response for the PPV.

Pretty silly question.

Egg and Amanda said that Amanda would get ppv points so see prob earned over a million dollars.

I hadn't heard that, but glad Amanda is getting paid better than $200,000 for what could be the most high profile fight she'll ever have.

Are you one of those guys that complains about fighter pay, but then bashes the number 2 ppv seller for getting 3 mil? 

Is the fine for missing weight applied to the entire salary or just the show money? Smolka only got 30% of Borg's show money even though he made an extra $18k. Unless they just did the math wrong.

Im actually even more happy with the Cody pay. He was in a position that gets shortchanged a lot. I think Rory Mcdonald made less than him when he challenged for the title.

 

TJ is also getting a nice chunk of cash for all the complaining he does.

Dom got ppv points too, right?
