Alright we've heard alot of talk about UFC pay scales and how unfair they are for some... My question is does anybody know how much other organizations with strong foundations (not IFL or elitexc who had to buy their way in, because we don't know for sure if that business model will hold up) but places like pancrease, K-1 (MMA'ers only, no Jerome LaBanner contracts)

I really want to see some comparitive info because for all this talk about fighters not getting paid well, it seems pretty fishy that the other foundations that have had sustainable success do not have nearly the talent base of the ufc...

For the most part it's not at all about what they pay. It's just another reason to bash the UFC. Some people truly do complain about the pay which is fine but most of the time it's just about the UFC itself.

When the fighters say it has been their dream to fight in the UFC,it isn't just because they are the biggest.It has to do more with they pay the most.
I believe from there it goes on how the UFC thinks you will draw crowds.Like Forrest is an exciting fighter,may not go for the title,but real fun to watch.

But Nate the great was the king of pancrease for what? 6 times? im not quite sure but then he hopes like hell he gets re-signed w/ the ufc, and i can't see them giving him more then 12-15 g's to fight.. am I wrong?
