Surely Johnson's numbers don't include that FOTN bonus? Cane's pay is a little surprising, there were guys on the prelims getting more exc bonuses
No doubt, if Johnson was only getting 7000 without that FOTN bonus, he was getting had. I thought Kendall Grove had the best sub of the night. It blows me away that the UFC gave Tito 250,000 just to show, I wouldn't have thought he would get that at this stage in his career. I would guess they will try and milk a few more fights out of him and discard him.
I'm surprised that he was making 2.5 times more than Griffin in appearance money....that doesn't equate to how many either viewers either fighter draws to the PPV.... I guess it might come down to what Griffin earns from his central contract with the UFC. I doubt Tito signed anything long term. I really wish that UFC were transparent with their pay structure. Personally, I thought the Aussie dude's sub vs Dent was the best. And i disagree with the FOTN too.
I was surprised when i saw Koshchecks payout, then i realised that he had $193,000 from bonuses. He had one of the shittiest deals ever with the UFC.
I have never seen any other orgs payouts. Strikeforce, Dream, Sengoku, etc. I think the UFC is the only one who even discloses anything to the public.
Not OFFICIAL Salaries, but During their "Countdown" Show, Rogers THANKED Fedor for the Fight Purse, which was Enough for Rogers to BUY a New Home... REED:hammert:
I'd just like to see it since everyone always talks so much shit about the UFC pay. Nobody else even puts it out there though, so we have nothing to compare it to. Affliction did, but obviously what they were paying was far too high or they might still be in business.
