Which 1930s mafia family did Don King belong to? Because Don King is the person mentioned here, not the 1930s mafia, and that's not even the point of the thread. You not only got mad about an unrelated topic, you also intentionally missed the point and didn't even bother to mention the UFC's shady practices.
Less stupid then UFC D Riders
If your job doesnt involve everything that comes with being a fighter especially the harm to your health long term and cte, then its not a fair comparison and you arent truly putting yourself in their shoes imo
What do you think a freshly signed fighter is owed? That brings zero to the table and basically is only filling out the prelims? 100k? You're an idiot if you think that and your business wouldn't last a year
How much is a entry level fighter due that brings in zero dollars to the company though? 15/15k sounds fair if you fight 3 times a year and win you make more than 65.6 % of Americans do.
Not really.. that was a stupid comment bro
Id pay them more than 8k, atleast give them a decent and dignified taste of what being a profesional athlete should come with. The whole ufc pay structure needs reforming, its way too lopsided
So flat rate of 80k? That would sound pretty generous for a person that not single person knows nor bought tickets to see
Thanks for answering with out being snarky
I didn't see the insinuation that fighters took pay cuts, but I saw the clear reporting that, despite making way more $ today, they pay out a lower % to fighters - I thought that was the point they were making.
You're contradicting yourself. Do you want people to be paid based on their economic value, or out of a moral concept like fairness?
A Walmart store manager will outearn most UFC fighters while being significantly less economically productive. I'm also not sure what Walmart cashiers have to do with facepunching.
What percentage of that goes to being double taxed as a contractor, having to purchase healthcare and put money in retirement, and then expenses?
