The UFC has all their fighters over a barrel. Let's face it the UFC is the only place they can make "top" dollar. I thought monopolies were illegal. God this reminds me of Don King and boxing. Our warriors desrve better. All those fighters were underpaid. The UFC has all their fighters over a barrel. Let’s face it the UFC is the only place they can make “top” dollar.

As a matter of fact, Ken Shamrock is on it. [quote comment=”83993″]i feel sorry for some of the lower level guys
$3k for a fight is awful

couldnt train for 2-3 months on that
would struggle to pay the rent
then food and flights to the event

i know they get sponsorship and extra bonuses but it seems incredibly low

a quick google suggest a crowd of 5000

im sure the average ticket went for more than $35
the spike money and all the advertising from xyience etc must bring in a packet for the UFC
as must the merchandise sales related to the event

as it wasnt ppv they wont be getting a cut of ppv sales which is big money

id expect UFC itself to have made a couple of mill profit from this

shame the fighters dont get to see much of it
poor sam stout beat on for 15 minutes for $6k

considering they only fight 3-4x per year its not much of a retirement plan unless you can get way up the main card[/quote]
