24/24. I know a contract is a contract. 1 contenders making chump change. The UFC should put a Champions Bonus out there for first time belt holders. And automatically give the new champ contract renegotiations.
100,000 bonus to win the belt.
25,000 to defend it. Every title defense.
What other options can they do for these guys?
Get the fuck out of here about stuff you don't even know about. You have no idea how much he made.
I know what they posted and its a joke biotch. Dana farts 48k and he ain't fighting.
lol@the shill having 221 vote ups
he's getting a new contract today which likely comes with a big bonus... dont waste you're tears on weidman... he's in as about as good a spot as you can be in,

Didnt Dana said in Port Fight Scrum his deal had already been negotiated before this fight?
He was not in his last fight as initially reported according to the dana.
It's a joke for the majority of the fighters.
Immaculata - It's a joke for the majority of the fighters.
But Weidmans in specific.
If this card does 800k buys like Dana says it was looking like, they owe Weidman like a million bucks.
What do you mean 48 aint good money, Thats a new car man. All he had to do was beat the best fighter in the world, no big deal.

Seriously. Just take a year off to get the title shot. Get there first off dirt wages. And be on one of the biggest PPV cards of the year. Beat the reigning UFC Best of All-time. And then collect less than a truck driver.
All I'm saying is there should be bonuses for guys for the #1 contender spot and new champ spot. As Dana always says, "they have such a small window of time to make it." Seems like lately its getting tougher and tougher (expect for chael) to get the chance at those top career breaking fights. With the cash flow streaming in to the UFC there has to be more options. 48k is on the upper tier for fighters too. Those lower card guys make cheesedick money.
Give him some of your money then if you feel so bad for him.

and guaranteed too. Not given 'out of kindness' or because the dana felt magnanimous that day.

Ufc pay is the best topic next to fallon fox.

PPV bro. Wish it could go right in his account.

what if UFC hires Fallon and we get to talk about Fallon Fox pay
I agree that Weidman deserves serious champ cash at this point in his career.
That said, it's hilarious how when the pay issue comes up people love to pull arbitrary numbers out of their ass. 100k champ bonus! Weidman deserves a million dollars! No one knows anything about the books, so it's utterly pointless and unproductive to make up numbers.
Dana will give him PPV cut (backroom bonus) if he hasn't already, I'm guessing in the $200-500K range, the UFC takes care of it's favorite and most talented guys

They probably will being they generally say things they won't ever do and they do...ie chick fights.
Got Reach - Get the fuck out of here about stuff you don't even know about. You have no idea how much he made.
