If you get signed to play one of the REAL Sports... you are guaranteed to get paid, and get paid well.
The minimum salary in the NBA is $1.1Million per year. This means the worst guy in the league who may not even play a single game, and just sits on the bench.
Meanwhile Top UFC Star Wonderboy can't get paid because his opponent missed weight, despite already going through training camp and making weight himself.
Not to mention, the way UFC treats its top stars:
- Randy Couture was taken to court for years
- Liddell was fired from his managerial role after being promised a lifetime job
- GSP was thrown under the bus multiple times despite being a great company man
- Anderson was released with 1 fight left on contract after all he did for the company
- Jones vacated the belt for not being given a proper pay to fight at HW
- Conor held out for years and went to make real money in boxing
- Ngannou was ridiculed publicly for not rolling over and accepting UFC's terms, and is now going to boxing to make real money too
So you wanna be a f*cking fighter?
You do the math
