Jim Miller needs a pay raise!!

3k for madigan? shit, I don't think i'd get in a ufc cage for that little.

Brandon Vera took a 140k pay cut from his last fight. Im curious to how much the sponsors pay the fighters.

Damn, Jardine is a broke mutha

he fights like 2 times a year and gets paid 5/5 for his normal fights and 55k for the main event?


Roger Huerta was right.

Said Jardine was rollin in a 92 2-door dotsun

Dang...Aaron Riley $6,000? He's been around for a while too.

Jardine made $115K with the FOTN bonus. I think he'll be alright.

Sam Lombardo - Damn, Jardine is a broke mutha

Jardine has never got 5/5. Even on his original TUF deal he was getting 10/10, and as I've said what seems like a million times, even Dana has said (postfight press conference after Chuck) that if you think Jardine was only making 20k a fight you're an idiot. You ever heard Jardine complain about money?

Vera's pay will go back up after that performance, I'm sure of it.

Carwin should be getting a decent raise in the near future, he's been killing it.

$3000 to fight on a UFC PPV is a joke

 Sub of the night went to...nobody?

3/3 is shameful.

hideo5 - 3/3 is shameful.


seriously

There's nothing shameful about it. The guy is not even top 100 in his weight class. He draws absolutely no viewers and was not on the main card. The average prelim fighter made $18K. Just STFU already.

Not for a late replacement fighter who nobody knows.

Say he fights 4 times a year at 3/3 and wins all 4 times. That's 24k/year before taxes. Does that even cover rent and food?

If he loses 2 out of the 4 then Mcdonalds employees are making more

Way to completely ignore sponsorships, extra money he'll get for instructing now that he can claim to be a UFC fighter, whatever bonuses he gets in those fights, and whatever locker room bonuses UFC gives him.
