How mad is Cruz, Aldo, etc...? Rhonda getting 75k/75k plus PPV cut

[Steel Mamba]

Yeah he mad



His $100k GTR in Hollywood... I feel so bad for the guy.

20/20k doesn't get you that.

Dana lets him use that one the weekends

[Liquidrob]

Lol @ you guys thinking fighters don't get mad if someone gets paid more that they don't think should

Rousey will have up the "bonus" money these guys get plus more guaranteed, she already has sub of the night locked up

[Warner2BruceTD]

Im sure they are mad. There has been a lot of misogynistic talk the last few weeks from fighters & fans on this topic.

There will be egg on the face of Dana if this doesnt work out. How much business this fight does is far more interesting than the fight itself since Dana went all Vince McMahom on this one and booked a jobber to showcase his new toy.

Would you put Cyborg at cage side, perhaps even bring her into the cage afterwards to hype the next one? Assuming you can get her signed for 135...

I'm not saying they don't, we just can't assume that Cruz isn't being paid well and can't assume that he's even earning less per than Ronda. What if Cruz gets a bigger % of PPV buys than she does? What if Ronda doesn't have a PPV % at all.. Is the UFC technically still operating with Ronda's SF contract, or did that expire? If they didn't make a new deal for her then that would explain the high guarantee and likely no other incentives. Just too many unkown variables to go by guaranteed.

Her manager said she is making 75k/75k and a PPV %

Sorry, from a "source", not the manager

[Warner2BruceTD]

Dodson vs Johnson for THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, only on FOX

no mention of flyweight lolololol

[Liquidrob]

I guess Bendo is complaining on Twitter about what Eddie was offered, Bendo gets 39/39

Yeah, no one is mad...

[Liquidrob]

Also, wasn't Cruz on TUF? They probably bought him a car, they did it for Jones when he wanted more money after Rampage

UFC uses KO bonuses and cars to keep the guys quite, its like a freaking game show over there instead of a pro sports league

What's behind door number 2 Jon? A NEW CAR, wooooooo

[EmpireWF]

It's not a pro sports league, though. It's a company that puts on fights.

Obviously, all the former WEC guys who are now champs should earn more guaranteed money than they do without the need for under the table stuff.

Eddie Alvarez's situation shows just how much is loaded into these contracts that we don't know about, aside from the different cash bonuses for subs, ko, fotn.

- Alvarez would get an eight fight deal starting with a $70K/$70K (show/win bonus) and he would receive a $5,000 bump with each win until $210,000 which would be guaranteed.
- He would receive a $250,000 signing bonus.
- He would receive $1 for each PPV buy between 200K and 400K; $2 for each buy between 400K and 600K and $2.50 per buy over 600K.
- Alvarez would also be guaranteed a fight on Fox and opportunities to guest commentate on UFC branded events.

Now, whenever he gets into the UFC we would only see that he's making 70/70 and think he got a raw deal. But, in reality he can easily bank $400k+ per fight. For someone that's not really a huge draw to begin with I think that's pretty substantial.

[Liquidrob]

Thats if he gets in a title fight on a ppv

The last LW headlined ppv did less than 200k buys
