Oh, and those payouts DONT include bonuses & PPV shares.

 

Only a select few veterans get PPV shares and bonuses are only 5000 bucks for a knockout or tapout

 

manvel is a strait beast!!! break that leg!

 

The bonuses are higher to the "bigger" names I know a "big name" and he's told me some of the bonuses, they are quite a lot higher than $5000.00 lol

 

Chuck Liddell should get payed as much or more than he does. When he fights, people watch. Dana White is a RICH SOB because of fighters like Chuck. He beat that ass and I loved every minute of it.

 

The payout ZUFFA gives compared to their income is ridiculous. They make millions each fight and payouts pennies.

 

Im sure. Just another pimp in the entertainment industry. :rolleyes:

 

Wow, would have thought W.S would have gotten more than 150.

Nice info thanks for posting, where did you find it....being that the UFC likes to keep the payouts of fighters on the Hush Hush.

 

I knows people :cool:

 

O Ok sorry for asking... i would not want you to give away any top secret information.

 

You don't have to know anyone because it's public information that you can get on almost any MMA site that's out there. (I know people)Now that's funny!!!!!http://www.cagetoday.com/ufc-79-nemesis-fighter-payouts/

 

The payout is available on multiple sites, ZUFFA tends to keep the "bonuses" quiet, but they usually leak out.

And i was just bein' an ass when i said "I knows peoples" heehee :cool:

 

I was only kidding as well. I just thought it was pretty funny!!!!!

 

Yes i was aware that some MMA sites have the payouts posted. However, i was thinking that maybe it was posted by the UFC. I have seen two different sites with conflicting numbers regarding the sums paid. It seems like the only time the UFC wants to talk about fighter payouts is when someone attacks them. Example: The whole RAndy C. ordeal.

Some good fights coming soon. Dan Henderson vs. Anderson Silva
BJ Penn vs Joe Daddy S.

I will take Dan in the first one. If anyone has a chance its gotta be Henderson.

BJ Penn all day long.... if he has his conditioning right. What you guys think?

 

Spshhhh!....I could make that much money in like 5 minutes.

 

well... joe daddy is a beast... so if he grabs something its probly gunna break... im a little worried about this fight... i wanna say bj all day but joe is a beast...i currently have money on bj but like i said im a little worried... should be a good scrap...

well chuck smacked W. silva around and didnt knock him out...dan henderson did... so id say your probly on to something when you say that... but on the other hand anderson silva is a monster in the clinch.... could go either way but lord knows you gotta watch out for that left on hollywood....

one more thing id like to add... i think the fight comming up with frank mir and brock lessner is a joke... it just smells too much like bull shit... but id put money on that heavy handed mother effer brock.... franks a little out of his game as of late...i think he needs to work on his conditioning .....

 

henderson is the only one with a chance at Silva right now in his class i think, but i'll still take Silva, as long as BJ Penn is awake and not stoned he will beat joe stevenson's ass!!, and who ever wins will be ripped apart by the muscle shark when he returns from suspension!

 

agree with most of what you say,except for the whole muscle shark remark.hes good but if penn wins,which he will,will throw a good fight against sean.i take penns technique over sharks power.shark has good technique,just think penn is higher caliber.penn has fought the whos who in the ufc.if penn comes conditioned with some cardio,he can hang with anybody.
