No?

The UFC pays out less than 15% of revenue to fighter pay and that includes travel, insurance, per diem, even the stupid Performance Institute.

Fans who weirdly boot lick the UFC don't think how many awesome fights we're missing because they are insanely cheap. Sean is a legit headliner, former world champion who dethroned one of the biggest names in the sport, and he's getting less than 200k to show.

That is such bad pay at this level its hard to describe to people who don't understand revenues. Fighter pay is one of their only actual COGS, its their product. The margins the UFC makes is astonishing and its by paying these guys peanuts.

This is why they settled the anti-trust lawsuit. Keep business of exploitation of their "independent contractor" talent cruising right along.

So he's saying his base contract is shit and not worth it to fight Costa on 7 weeks notice

 

[Iconoclast]

Good on him for turning it down. He knows his worth. The UFC should too.

Yes and he's right. People underestimate Costa and the prep needed as well as how inconvenient that is to throw together. He should be paid more.

It's like 13% now, the UFC profits go up every year (by a huge margin) while fighter pay stays virtually the same. Don't forget them greedy bastards took all the sponsors for themselves as well.

Sean is worth more now and he knows it. If more fighters would do the same then the UFC would have no choice but to pay up. Sean was right, the fighters are all nothing but cheap ass prostitutes still.

is 7 weeks considered short? What is the typical training camp length these days.

... and this is coming from someone who hates the shit out of Sean!

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

It's pretty crazy how a 4th line fringe NHLer (least popular big sport league in NA) probably makes like twice as much a year as a typical UFC champion or title contender. Minimum salary is like a million lol.

I would rather like to know what is acceptable for Strickland. What is the magic number?

right, can't stand strickland or his fans. but dude's a catch and they are cucking him so bad with his pay. dana puts his stars in such uncomfortable positions, they have free reign on saying anything unless it has to do with pay and if they show any signs of public disagreement with it, he blacklists them. uncle tito was right all along.

 

[michi972]

I think maybe 10-12.

Less than 200&200 for guy with over 20 fights in the ufc, top 5 fighter, recent champion who is popular and controversial. It's a fucking joke pay

 

[Urluberluu]

Costa should fight an unranked fighter

 

[filthybliss]

he's arguably the most popular fighter in the states and definetely in the middleweight division. 200k is not a respectful sum of money for someone that sells so many tickets, he'd be making the same amount of money if he was playing basketball in the niche South Korean Basketball league....

8 is about the minimum to call it a "full camp" and generally it should be the fighters deciding what length camp they want, not the UFC who knows their events months and months ahead of time.

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Sean seem like a simple man just up it to 250k/250k but tell him it's a quarter milli/half milli sound better to him das bandzzzz fam

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Damn... not even a bag like this chick. Maybe Sean is in the wrong business.
