In general I don't have big issues with UFC pay scale and they make it up with unannounced bonuses but I don't like to see someone get as low as Poirier in this main event, or as low as Carwin got in a Million plus PPV against Lesnar (think it was about 40k?).

As I say in general I think guys are paid OK but I'd like to see main eventers get 100k minimum in PPV and 50k minimum on TV. Phone Post
