DrunkenMaster Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The payout doesn't make anysense. Are the fighters just paid to fight or are they on salary and the fight is a "commission". I ask because some of the fighters only made $3,000. That doesn't pay rent, food, clothes, gas, in months between fight. And about the weigh-in earlier. I don't understand why the way in (I think its one day before the fight) has to be at the exact weight or under. Its common knowledge after the weigh-in is passed that the weight it regained. Its usually lost by water. And its all drunk back. Pretty easy.

LRoling Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Add in sponsership for wearing all their gear during fights and after, and also add in their contract pay. I believe the fight money is probably in their contract as well, and they wheel and deal how much money per fight also. I want to see Wanderlei Silva in UFC sometime. I believe he would actually "Axe Murder" someone.
