Fighter's pay is a legitimate question. I thought that kind of information was accessible for all american major sports. At one point, any economic activity should have at least minimum transparency. Fight sports have been known for shadowy deals, and in boxing history it hurt the sport.

Fighter's pay in the UFC is really interesting because lots of people here are not interested in only KOs, armbars and fighters interviews. Since the UFC is such a success so far, I'm sure there are lots of things to be learned by discussing how the UFC handles its business. Maybe it can be applied somewhere else ?

Last but not least, we all love MMA and we hope for the sport to grow bigger and bigger. There we want to see the different progresses of our sport: mainstream coverage, better training for the athletes, better production, etc...

No, discussing fighter's pay is really a legitimate question.
