Message: [QUOTE="scuba lou, post: 2904191, member: 3481"] People have been saying that for a decade as well. Find me some Mid to high level fighters that complain about their pay in MMA. There aren’t any. It’s low level fighters that complain, as they should. But low level boxers are paid like dogshit in comparison. A fighter on the undercard of the Mac vs FM fight only made $3500. The UFC hasn’t paid a fighter less than 10k since it upped its minimum to 10k to show/10k to win in 2016. Also the thought that Delahoya will take over MMA and pay their fighters better isn’t new. They said the same thing about affliction (went out of business when it overpaid fighters, Fedor vs Barnett cancelled at last min), Strikeforce(cbs money), Belator (Viacom money) etc. Competition is good, but overpaying fighters is not the key to beating the UFC. It hasn’t worked in the past and I don’t see it working now. [/QUOTE]
