Jeez Cro Cop made almost 6x as much as Gonzaga...crazy. How many more fights does Cro Cop have on his contract?

Jeez Cro Cop made almost 6x as much as Gonzaga...crazy. How many more fights does Cro Cop have on his contract?

Four

 

[the nut]

Royce Gracie = MMA Royalty with multi franchise name recognition who was here when UFC opened it's doors.
Matt Hughes = Comparatively speaking ... a much less known fighter with shitty walk out song

He already had Hughes, he needed to pay up for the right to have one of his boys fuck him up.

 

[emitecaps]

Can't believe they are still paying fighters $2k or $3k, simply horrible. They should get a minimum of $10k.

The guys who I was taking classes from would kill to get 3k per fight. One fought in freedom fights last month and got about $800 after firguring in the gate.

 

[the nut]

For how much?

I believe 350K flat rate for all, but there are rumors of some under-the-table payments going on.

I know, I'm absolutely floored by what Din made. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but he wasn't even on the main card..

UFC Fight Night 10 Fighters??? Salaries

Posted by UFC Junkie on June 18, 2007 at 3:37 pm ET

Fighters??? salaries for last week???s UFC Fight Night 10 event are in, and main-card fighter Jon Fitch, who defeated Roan Carneiro with a second-round submission, was the big winner with a $36,000 payday. Fitch earned $18,000 to show and an additional $18,000 as a win bonus.
The total reported payroll for the event and its 18 fighters was $175,500.
UFCjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, MMA news, UFC rumors, UFC gossip, fighter interviews and event previews and recaps - UFCjunkie.com) obtained the salary figures directly from the Florida State Boxing Commission, which oversees all sanctioned MMA events in the state of Florida. The figures can be found in the embedded image, and the event results can be found below.
UFC Fight Night 10 took place on Tuesday, June 12 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. The event aired on Spike TV. In the main event, Spencer Fisher defeated Sam Stout via unanimous decision in the finale of the nine-bout fight card.
Now, the usual disclaimer: the figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, these salaries do not include the typical bonuses the UFC sometimes pays for the submission of the night, knockout of the night, and fight of the night. The figures also do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter???s income.
In other words, these are simply base salaries reported to the FSBC and do represent the total amounts earned by each fighter.
The full event results included:

• Spencer Fisher def. Sam Stout via unanimous decision
• Jon Fitch def. Roan Carneiro via submission with a rear naked choke (Round 2, 1:07)
• Drew McFedries def. Jordan Radev via KO (Round 1, 0:33)
• Thiago Tavares def. Jason Black via submission with a triangle choke (Round 2, 2:49)
• Forrest Petz def. Luigi Fioravanti via unanimous decision
• Tamdan McCory def. Pete Spratt via triangle choke (Round 2, 2:04)
• Gleison Tibau def. Jeff Cox via submission with an arm-triangle choke (Round 1, 1:52)
• Anthony Johnson def. Chad Reiner via KO (Round 1, 0:13)
• Nate Mohr def. Luke Caudillo via unanimous decision
