Huge UFC profit

Im a huge UFc fan but when i saw how much they made off of Ufc 60-61 it made me sick. I could believe that they made that much profit and they pay there fighters so little. They are making about 30 million dollars per PPV. and they almost dish out around 400,000 to fighters. So when they cant sign any fighters for their LHW or HW division it makes me sick. and i love the UFC. But its just so greedy. If they used their money and resources they could be huge with great fighters in every division. What do u guys think???????

they are making big bucks nowdays, but as long the ufc can get away with it they will do it. thats just the way it is. i think its just a matter of time before dana get better fighters to the ufc. but as things are right now they dont have to. he allready has his eyes on rampage, and i bet alot of other fighters as well. if pride happens to do it big in america, we can se big names in the ufc in the near future.

you mean 400,000 is their "fighter-purse" budget? or 400,000 per fighter? You know what I find more sad is that the current TUF show has more potential good fights then their PPV shows. That's what botters me about the UFC most, is how they don't give their fighters enough air time after they debut. It's like their's a new fighter debuting ever UFC.

$30 million ok we all know that is a lot of money. And sure most of us in here feel that the fighters aren't getting there fair share. But if you look at it from Dana's point of veiw, he knows that most of these younger and newer fighters are just dreaming of a chance to fight in the UFC and make a name for themselves. So to pay them what he does is not entierly his fault, the fighters are just as much to blame as Dana.

If the fighter agrees, then we shouldn't bash Dana so much. I'm sure not eveything as is it seems in the UFC with their money situation.
