Ufc Dana White Salary

How long before the ufc starts paying their fighters a fair salary?

The UFC is just greedy. They make 40 million in payper view revenue alone on the Lidell vs Jackson fight and pay these guys a combined 750k. It seems like the fighters are only getting like 2% of total revenue. Most other sports the players get more like 50%. The fighters are already starting to figure this out too with Randy Cotoure and Tito Ortiz leaving. It would only make sense that Dana White makes some substantial changes or else the fighters will be forming a union and taking alot more money.
hey its a free country bunjunkan man. Or should i call you Lenin Marxist man. And for your info i am martial artist. In BJJ, Boxing, and kickboxing. And if you don’t like my question than don’t answer it.

If you were to own a business, wouldn’t you like to make money? That is what the UFC is doing. Any start up business, money is tight and you have to build capitol first. The UFC fighters are making more money than before. 3 or 4 yrs ago, there were no bonuses, now there is fight of the night, knock out of the night, submission of the night, etc… in addition to their purse. In my opinion, I like the way UFC pays their fighters, because you have to earn it. I wouldn’t want somebody, baseball for example, for someone to make thousands of dollars and just mail it in once in awhile. By getting paid incentive bonuses, it only makes sense for an exciting fight. As the sport grows and the UFC fighters will get paid their money. Affliction did make a strong first show, but they still lost money (millions). In baseball for instance, that is why they have “small market” teams that their payroll isn’t as much as other teams. Just give it time, the fighters will get paid.

Anderson Silva Retiring!?!
