Interesting to see how Dana White is treating the newbies Cro cop and Rampage pay wise vs. a UFC champion like Anderson Silva.
ReplyDeleteSilva is sitting at the top of his class however he is being paid much less.
Cro cop is at the top of his game and Rampage is no slouch and they deserve big numbers but wha happen to Silva's pay out???
Hey Colonel,
ReplyDeleteThis is the base pay that the fighters receive. It doesn't factor in the PPV percentage that the top draw fighters receive.
Case in point: Chuck Liddell & Tito Jameson err... Ortiz.
Chuck and Tito were paid out $250, 00 and $210, 000 respectively for their base pay.
It is estimated that both fighters cleared close to 3 million dollars with PPV monies when Tito's tears cleared up after the fight.
UFC payouts only hurt the fighters that lose, especially, the fighters that re in the undercards... those are the real warriors.
Sean Salmon who got knocked the fuck out was paid $3000. That's not enough to cover the plane ticket, accommodations, IRS guy, trainers, and the fight trunks he was sporting while laying on the ground like a corpse... never mind the hospital bill charge he incurred.
So, the biggest draws like Cro Cop and Rampage and Silva will receive a cut of the percentage of the Pay per view monies... unfortunately, that is confidential and stays within the family of the UFC.
Reported fighter payout are nice to laugh about and talk about however, there is a whole other side of the business that very few know about.
Liddlell is the highest paid UFC fighter in the game today.
I want to see Rampage fight Chuck again, and that WILL happen and it will be the highest PPV draw that combat sports has ever seen.
Tito Ortiz is a chump, always has been and always will be. Expect Cro Cop and Chuck to send the fighter bonuses into the stratosphere this year.
