    Am I missing something? Her guarantee is listed at 60k with the NSAC. Double that with the win bonus = 120k. Now I'm not Albert Einstein but that is 880k less than $1,000,000 to me.

    Again, if nobody else is willing to pay MMA fighters more than what they are currently making, then this is their market value.

    Why do you continue to believe these numbers when they have been proven false time and time again. Those numbers dont include everything.

    The UFC is making Ronda a rich woman and she deserves it.

    3 fights in 7 months and winning in dominating fashion. She has also filmed 2 movies and plans to fight once more this year. She is a model in which every fighter should try to be like. that being said, she needs to fight cyborg and the UFC needs to get on that.

    I think Rousey wrecks Cyborg if they ever fight.

    I have questions about her chin, but i think she wins too. But she still needs to fight her. If not, what is the point?

    Of course they don't. My bad for taking the purses that are filed with the state athletic commission. Obviously these fighters are being paid like Floyd Mayweather. Obviously Dana is struggling to eat because the fighters are getting paid so much under the table after the fight.

    Yeah, it's your bad. nobody is getting paid like mayweather, but if you think guys like Jones, Ronda, Penn, Silva, GSP, Weidman, Sonnen arent making well over a million dollars per fight, you are crazy. What is reported to the commission does not include bonuses or PPV buys.
    Fewer than 100,000: No bonus
    100,000 – 175,000: $1 per buy
    175,000 – 300,000: $1.5 per buy
    300,000 – 330,000: $2 per buy
    Over 330,000: $3 per buy

    And those are old figures. Who knows what the knew ones are. That is why guys like GSP made about 5-6 million a fight.

    MMA fighters get ripped off. Someone said Guerrero made more money than the entire UFC card. Hilarious but sad and true.

    GSP should have been making 15-20 million a fight.

    No shit. Clearly GSP got paid well. He's 33 years old and is essentially retired.

    He earned it. Good for him and good for the UFC.

    How Does Making 15-20 Million Per Fight AUTOMATICALLY Mean GSP Would've Only Fought 1nce a Year???...

    What EXACTLY Does 1 Have to Do w/the Other???...

    It's Always Surprised REED How You, a Former Accomplished, High Level Athlete, Place a "Cap" of Sorts on the Earning Potential of MMAists...

    So just Because GSP was Making 5-6 Mil Means he SHOULDN'T have Been Asking For or Making 15-20 Mil???...

    Regardless of your job, you should always be asking for more money. You should always be selling your worth.

    I am a firm believer of getting what the market will allow.
