Dana White shares info about 300

[Substance Abuse]

300k every finish? Now thats how to incetivize fighters, specially at the lower end, even some higher.

It was four $300K bonuses. Not per finish.

Clearly happens regularly but you can't prove it because they don't officially announce it. Like all things U Fight Cheap, the 'no bonuses for people who miss weight' rule is selective - they sometimes just ignore it when one of their pets is involved. But they generally stick to it.

And that means their solution for not rewarding a guy who missed weight and was in FOTN is simply to fuck over the guy who did make weight as well.

If you can’t prove it how does it happen clearly? Genuinely curious

Happy for the fighters. But we all know the fat reporter gets all his questions given to him by ufc staff. That's why he always gets to go first.

Likely PR move by Dana to shut up talks about fighter pay for a while.

But hey it works. Might see Bo Nickal try to go K1 and get countered

Shitty Main-Events and Apex Cards led us to 300k Bonuses.

Business is doing well.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

300k is one hand of blackjack for Dana. Not impressed because this is just a publicity stunt. Next event they’re going to go back down to 50k when in fact the bonuses should be $301k

 

[Haj01]

TKO holdings gonna be mad.

"Dana you know we are supposed to extort the fighters not support the fighters.... That's over a mil in our revenue stupid pink goof. Next time we will release more footage of you beating your wife if your not careful! That's coming out of your snow fund"

 

[Contempt]

Jesus fucking christ... WAR uncle Dana.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Dana looked pissed when he said it lol

 

[5crew]

And from this day on, Charitable Dana is born

 

[OriginMMA]

That’s incredible. Some life changing money especially if a smaller name can somehow get one.

 

[UFC666]

Sherdoggers will still find a way to shit on Dana for this.

 

[Cartiac]

Dana raises performance bonuses to life changing money for a lot of these fighters, Sherdoggers get even more angry that every fighter on the card has a chance to get paid handsomely.

A)This is probably a one time thing

B)If its not a one time thing its still not something fighters can depend on because bonuses are won by only a few fighters on a card.

In late capitalism whenever something isn't guareenteed people think "scam". People want security not to treated like a person based on performance incentives.

Bro, this is definitely a one-time thing.

Dana probably pissed off now that he realizes that he now sorta has to do 400k bonuses when UFC 400 rolls around haha.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

what's funny is Dana literally let the fighters choose the number and people are still upset with Dana lmao

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. I know they don't deserve it but for the sake of argument even if it was permanent it still isn't good enough.

If societys still up by the time UFC 400 hits in 2032 everyone will have bigger problems tbh.

 

[Sean_wongster_wongmastter]

We going to people going for finishes lawl.

It's cool and all but it doesn't change fighter pay in the grand scheme of things. We're talking about the guy who lost 3 million in a night playing blackjack.
