Fedor is not fighting for his legacy, best believe that

what he said

Are you serious? So because the UFC itself is a huge name and serves as a platform for sponsors that is an excuse for the horrendously low purses? I'm not comparing them to other MMA organizations but like White himself does, to boxing or other sporting leagues.

I'm sorry but I can not see how anyone can defend these absurdly low payrolls like a 1 million dollar payroll for a PPV event (Evans vs Griffin I think) and defend that. It's ridiculous they are taking in so much money and signing fighters exclusive contracts, limiting the number of times they can fight a year and not even pay them enough to realistically support a family full time. That isn't going to grow the sport if all the money the fighters get comes from sponsorship.

Top Rank compensates their fighters 10 times better then Dana White does.

Amat what is not disclosed is what sponsors pay each fighter when they fight. Lots of these sponsors are procurred through the UFC.

Well good let them sign with Strikeforce for a few extra bucks and then be out of a job in 6 months.. You make it sound like they are working for $10 an hour at a drive thru.

I can also guarantee the UFC looks after their fighters better than any boxing promoter looks after theirs. The UFC has a real good thing going right now and arent ridiculously inflated like everyother sport in the world.. If your telling me they cant support a family with those amounts. I'm telling you to put down the pipe.

UFC 100 fighters salaries: Lesnar and St-Pierre get top paydays in $1.8 million payroll | MMAjunkie.com

Those figures didnt look awful to me especially for the elite fighters. Sure its not a DLH or Mayweather Pac type pay day but its nothing to sneeze at, not to mention there are plenty of B class fighters that have to have a regular job unless they hit the big time
