I love these threads because all the min wagers come on here crying about a fighters contract they glady signed while watching said fighter for free on an illegal stream.
I think if you brokeys worried more about your own finances than other people's you might be a little less bitter.

Love when threads about labor and pay get visited by @Tyler Durden so we all get a taste of a 1950's GED educated perspective from a guy who can't even spell monopsony, let alone know what it means

How much did the tour make?

I think the appropriate equation is:
$50k x N fighters who get bonuses /Net Revenue of the UFC
vs
$100k x N truckers /Net Revenue of solely Taylor Swift

Though that is still either comparing a yearly or individual amount on the UFC's side vs the Swift side which is neither, so it's not perfect.

She had about 50 drivers, so that's about $5 million gifted. And that's still not an expectation like UFC bonuses are (or is expected, but at about 10-20% that rate)

So since 3 more fighters got bonuses, that's an increase of $150,000 vs Swift who paid an excess of $4,250,00 extra, which is 28 times more. So if Swift's tour earned her 28 times or more the amount of what the UFC gained from this event, then the UFC was more generous.

It's reported she's making 10-13 million for this tour, so if the UFC made less than $464,285 for this event, then the UFC has an argument.

Oh boy they handed out 350k in bonuses for this event, while still taking the lions share of the profits

yeah op youre right, this really proves the haters wrong. Instead of taking like 90% of the profits, they only took 89,5

Lol I love how ppl fall for it too and post it on here.
 
I'm pretty sure TS is trolling according to my "sarcasm detector", but in the grand scheme of things, $50K is pocket money and an embarassing fact remains: the UFC is greedy and only shares a ridiculously small fraction of its revenues with the fighters, compared to other pro sports

To be fair, anything money related to Saudi/Middle East feels like they are just giving away money its not theirs and they dont care if a business/event really makes a profit, they just want to brag about it.

That doesnt change the fact that the UFC acts cheap for the most part.
 
How much money is fair

Maybe U-Fight-Cheap used to be a legit insult, but for whatever the reason, the UFC has had a change of heart. Please give credit where credit is due.
Seven Fighters Receive $50,000 Bonuses at UFC 295

The gate did $12,432,563.
With an estimated 300,000 PPV buys at $80 a pop, the PPVs did an estimated $24,000,000.

Conservatively, UFC 295 made $36m and you're talking up $350k lol

The total fighter payouts; salaries, sponsors, bonuses, all of it comes out to $3,795,000... that's a 90/10 split between organization and athlete. These are just facts.

In every other sport out there, the total revenue is split around 50/50 between the organization and the athletes... the UFC, since it's inception, has been more like 85/15... or in this case worse.

Even if there was no PPV money coming in, and their entire revenue stream was the gate, the UFC would still be under paying their athletes with a 70/30 split.

Sounds like a case of Stockholm syndrome. $50g to company valued over a billion dollars ain't shit.
 
The bonus ain’t been raised in over 10 years. Wonder how much UFC’s revenue has increased in that time.

That said, Paddy begging for “75 G’s Dana!” Just don’t have the same ring to it.

Yes, everything should be held to the standard of trillionaire oil money being thrown around without an actual care on returns.
You can really tell who is an employee and who is a business owner on this forum pretty quickly lol.
 
With that being said
You heard it here first

Do you look at open market rate to determine under or over compensation or do you only look what the least equitable share of the revenue pie for employees/contractors major sporting league or organization gives to determine true wage market?
