plus sponsorship
plus sponsorship
dont forget the busser, the expo, and the bartenderno. but she doesnt have to give 20% of her wages to the chef, 20% to the waitress school she went to, and 10% to the guy who made her pen and notepad
Ben Askren? The retired sleep therapist?
Other guys leave because they want their sponorship money. It's fucked up that the UFC brass has basically taken money away from their fighters just cause..
hes still boring thoughIt’s funny when people post this stuff because it shows they legitimately do not watch any MMA outside of the UFC. Askren has been finishing opponents since the back half of his Bellator career, which was years ago.
Stooge.
so you wanna be a fighterYes, I think they have contracts where you pay Bellator $500 to show, and Bellator pays you $500 if you win, so you breakeven. If your opponent doesn't make weight, you have to pay 20% of the $500 that he pays Bellator.
Middle Tier name fighters can make a shitload there because they will pay more than UFC thinks they are worth. Lower tier fighters are makinjack shit
A lot of guys have said that they make more in endorsements than in UFC salary and that when they got cut at the knees by Reebok, many considered jumping ship. I think the pay is relatively similar but the endorsements push them over the top.UFC is probably still the best paying org. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t believe that Bellator has restrictions on sponsorship like the UFC’s Reebok deal, so some guys may actually make better sponsorship coin in Bellator.
Askren left Bellator 4 1/2 years ago and is now retired so he isn't getting much from them TBH.are guys like Phil Davis, Ben Askren, Ryan Bader and Rory Mac getting good paychecks as apposed to their UFC careers?
hes still boring though

2k +2k is the new deal it appears. However there a couple guys stll on the 1+1...
But that sponsorship money makes it worth it.Yes, I think they have contracts where you pay Bellator $500 to show, and Bellator pays you $500 if you win, so you breakeven. If your opponent doesn't make weight, you have to pay 20% of the $500 that he pays Bellator.
Moose was kicking a lot of ass when he didn't renew his deal with the UFC, dude probably was right on the doorstep of a middleweight title shot.because they keep losing. I have yet to see a guy in the UFC become super successful, undefeated then say "hey Im going over to Belator"
its usually after a string of losses or constantly losing titleshots
