Dana should be ashamed of himself.

Jesus christ

 

[Kabzie]

Diego must still be a good draw. Happy for him.

 

[The Bard]

Jeremy Stephens has a million UFC fights, is entertaining as hell, and headlined the ESPN portion of the card for $67k. And that's not a salary -- he's a contractor who pays for all of his own training, travel, family medical plan, etc.

Wow. That guy would have to fight 3-4 times per year (so with camp basically a full-time job), pay his expenses and then make less than I do. And I'm nowhere near top 10 or top 100 in my profession. Sad.

 

[maxi diablo]

No wonder Diego's still fighting. Looks like he hasn't aged abit.

 

[HunterST]

With the Reebok deal, are they getting income from any other source? I know Askren said he was only getting 3500 from the sponsorship. That's horrendous. I would think each guy should about double their money from sponsorships.

 

[DInoHeelturnTRS]

some of these fighters are really underpaid. How is Tecia getting paid more than Charles Byrd and Edmend? I wouldve thought Woodley would be getting paid more. Jones too. Whats strange is how uniform the salaries of the top guys are. like why 500,000, instead of say, 532,000?. It's like there's no haggle room.

You make more than 200k usd per year?

Jeez.

 

[usernamee]

Also very surprised to see Jeremy's numbers.. he didn't make much more than Zabit for crying out loud.

 

[Clippy]

Off topic but how much did Sage used to make?

 

[JAL]

Ali's fighters wining like always

 

[voodoo chile1]

They used to... Diego probably got around 50k from Reebok - he was getting easily more than that around 2010.

3500 for Askren is a straight insult.

Wonder how much Tyron made from that Monster Energy logo on his T-shirt.

 

[Granite Wall]

Not a bad day at work for Anthony Smith. Didn't do shit for 5 rounds. Congrats!

Most fighters has sponsor money outside Reebok.
The Reebok is only for fight week.

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Hope Misha gets some locker room bonus.

Johnny Walker said on TSN he'll help Misha if he needs anything for his wife's cancer treatment.

 

[p4pgoat]

Good for Ben Askren

 

[The Casual]

Does anybody know how these guys pay their gyms and trainers ?

Do they get a percentage of the fight purse or is it like a gym membership at 24 hr fitness which seems unlikely

I just don’t get how these guys survive on these incomes (when you not a main event)
