Gonzaga went from 9+9 to 30+30!!...Nice raise, to bad he didn't wait until after he decapitated Cro Cop to renegotiate :(...

Edit: Or was that 15+15 plus 30K for KO of the night?

Most likely it was that.

some nice bank for Napao all told

That is just the amount for the fight that gets reported to the commissions.

arlovski needs to give some of that money back.

cheers,

Hey, remember when arlovski was knocking every fool out in the first round brutally and was getting paid like $18,000 dollars?

I'm glad Arlovski is finally getting paydays. Especially with competition such as guys like Matty Mo and Slarlovsky.

I wonder what crocops win bonus would have been.

Its amazing there is still 2K pay days on the card along with 350K

That total payscale wont cover Floyd Mayweather's taxes this weekend.

ttt

lol@ufc

Guys that is one serious payout for an MMA event.

ah fuck it. everyone from bisping down is a ham n egger, anyway, imo.

except for elvis, and i would have switched him and sakara on that list

i'm pretty sure they all negotiate or at the very least agree to the amount they are being paid prior to stepping in the ring. i feel sorry for none of them, they wanted to fight for those amounts...if everyone said no to 2k the ufc would have to raise the pay.

lol@fighters

Elvis is friggin 1-5 in the UFC... no damn way he deserves more than 8K.

Machida & Kongo 40K. Bisping 24.

Wtf?

True, but market value usually matters...

KO bonus -- Gabriel Gonzaga

Submission bonus -- Terry Etim

Fight of the Night -- Bisping and Sinosic



Add $30,000 to all these guys paychecks

^^^I don't agree with fight of the night.

Arlovski is pretty much stealing money at this point
