Weird that Jardine even after his wins over Liddell and Forrest is making only 10k. And Sherk making 35k in the main event? Hmmmm..... Wasn't Bud Light's new affiliation with the UFC supposed to be something positive? ::
:: No mistake Joe. It's 10k for Jardine after getting brutally bounced and spending a night at the hospital.
I know he got his f*ckin' ass kicked badly by Silva and Alexander within 60 seconds respectively, that's for sure.:: I just wonder, if I was a UFC fighter, might I consider a different job if getting my ass raped time and again only got me 10k? I don't know...
These Cats R CRIMINALLY UNDERPAID...There Needs to B an MMA Fighters Union or Something... Think about it...Keith Jardine was a LARGE Part of the Pre-Fight Promotion & was even FEATURED on the "Countdown" Show, he got $2000 More than War Machine???... REED::
You'd be spending twice that amount just for training.:: You don't just walk into the cage, get your ass beat, bank your 10k cheque and go home, waiting for the next call.
Jardine should be the first fighter to collect royalties on being KOd from being played on so many highlights.
Sure, REED Would Take an Everyday, Run of the Mill Asskicking for 10g's, but NOT a TELEVISED, MMA Style Asskicking... 10g's ISN'T Enough to Get Knocked the Fuck Out N Front of MILLIONS & have to CONSTANTLY B Reminded of it for the Rest of your Life... REED::
Um, that MUST be a mistake. You don't beat someone like Chuck, who while very overrated - is a UFC legend, and only make 10k. Jardine was a fairly high regarded fighter in the most popular division, no way he made 10k, it must be 100k.
Or you and your boys can chase someone down for 10K and get KTFO like Suge. Then people can take pics and send it to TMZ.
Sorry mex. 10k for Jardine. You know what his cheque for the fight with Liddell was? 16K. No worries though, Dana slipped a few nickels in his pocket in the locker room I'm sure for a job well done. Afterall, it's about honour, not money.:nono: The will to win, the will to succeed, the will to fight, to be a true warrior. That's what MMA is all about.:bears:
I'd guess that Jardine is still fighting under his TUF contract, and since he didn't win TUF, and nobody saw him beating Forrest, much less Liddell when they signed him, they paid him what they thought he was worth, and he signed the contract. That being said, I'd be amazed if he wasn't paid more then 10 G's for Saturday night. TFK
Yes way dude!:: And you know why? Because Jardine like Rich Franklin before him signed a TUF contract lasting for up to 10 fights. Jardine is still working off that TUF contract. He has to honour it. He has zero rights, he cannot bargain for more money until that contract is done. The UFC has milked him dry and made a profit from him. Jardine has given us some most awesome KOs, unfortunately he was the victim in all of 'em but no matter...
Correcto! The TUF contract...the DREADED TUF contract. Yeesh! Sell your soul to the UFC. If you're still alive to sign a new contract after the TUF one expires, more power to ya.::
At this stage of his career, it should've been 8 times that. If we're being realistic. I realize Jardine is hardly a draw and if he retired tomorrow, people probably won't care. But a man giving so much of himself for as long as he has should be compensated a lot better than f*ckin' 10k. That under the table money must be pretty high.
Valid Point... If U Can GUARANTEE it'll Only Last 36 Seconds, REED'll GLADLY Accept an MMA Styled Asswhipping for 10g's... REED::
But WHY Would Dana want to Even PRETEND he's LOWBALLING Jardine w/10g's, if he's Really NOT???... Where's the BENEFIT N Claiming Such a Low Amount, While Paying MORE Under the Table???... REED:hammert:
Yeah, I don't think he'll attract fighters by posting deflated figures. Maybe he's posturing for investors?
REED would SPRINT Around the Cage for 35 Seconds then Kneel Down & TAP OUT @ the 36th Second... HARDCORE, Baby!!!... REED:fightme:
And yet you talk so much about being a bad mofo in your younger days, Reed. Getting into bar fights and holding your own and all that. But you'd just mail it in that quickly in the cage and be somebody's bitch just like that? You'd run like a fag and kneel down and tap out to save your pretty face from getting messed up? And yet you talk sh*t about Margarito who goes in there and fights like a true warrior, win or lose. You'd bring complete shame to the Reed family. I expected better from you of all people. Maybe I was wrong afterall. Maybe you are just an internet tough guy. Kneel down like a bitch, how respectable.
Did Something CRAWL Up in your Turban & DIE???... When has REED EVER Presented Himself as Some Internet BADASS???...REED Can Hold his Own by Everyday, REGULAR Guy Standards, but U've NEVER Heard REED Suggesting he Could Beat World Class Fighters...& U Never Will... REED Talks Shit about Margarita Cause he's OVERfuckingRATED...But Again, U've NEVER Heard REED Say he Could Whip Margarita HIMSELF... On that Note, Since YOU NUTHUG Floyd Mayweather from the NEGATIVE Side, R We to ASSUME that YOU Can WHIP Floyd???... REED:shit:
