I couldent find UFC 74 so I used 73
Lowest paid
4 guys were paid 3K for fighting on the biggest MMA promotion in the world
One of the champions was paid 28K
UFC is Laughing all the way to the bank, and some fans try to Justify it.
Dosent it take alot of courage to get into the Octagon?
and for those of you that are going to talk about bonuses, which one of those 3k guys got bonuses? there are only like 4 fighters in the UFC that get a cut of the ufc PPV. who's getting rich? dana. when did u watch a pride ppv and have commercials for movies? when have u watched a boxing ppv and had a commercial for a movie? when do they interview actors asking about movies in pride or boxing? I Paid to watch MMA not Entertainment tonight
This is an old article but shows you even more how the fighters are getting robbed, its worth the read.
