It would be nice to have some of these prelims go past the 1st round so we don't have a 15-20 min break between each fight!

 

[Macattk15]

Awesome. Baseball on FS1 in extra innings and I don't have FS2.

Horseshit.

 

[somedevil]

For 4 PPV appearances, and about 15 to 20 regular appearances.

Not really. In 2015 he did 5 pay per views 2 network specials and one house show plus tv appearances.

In 2016 if you count summerslam he done 4 pay per views, 1 network special and 2 house shows.

I hear you... i hear youuuuuuuu

A lot, WWE aren't very profitable but their revenue is crazy.

Plus their merchandise can earn you a pretty penny if you are the top guy.

And you think he does all those Raw promo's for free?

UFC Fighters really are short changed compared to Boxers.

Don't the purses for boxers include their cut of the ppv? I don't think any of these purses for the UFC fighters includes any of their cut of the ppv revenue (if they have any).

Dana: Cormier WILL fight this weekend.

Question: Does [DC] make the same money? Regardless of who he fights?

Dana: ...Yes.

But its true, i've seen the figures that some MMA fighters make on lesser organizations (that are still televised) and they had several fights already and i still made more money than them on my second boxing bout.

 

[somedevil]

Hell no. They pay him a ton not to wrestle on Raw as a special attraction. They are just paying a lot more to do more house shows and pay per views.

Brock is great at getting a lot of money. 2.5 million for a fight. How much is Punk going to get for his fight?

How many fights were on your card? For whatever reason, ufc seems to have 12 fights per card. Spiltting the gate (and ppv?) 24 ways seems tough. I'm definitely not an expert in this, so I don't know why they are so low compared to boxing. I do believe the fighters deserve more.

 

[MassiveNights]

Always enjoy a Sage Northcutt check-in.

That submission last time is still hilarious.

 

[serenewarfare]

Super Sage NortHGHcutt

 

[ldcommando]

Here comes pretty boy sage

 

[TrumanBurbank]

The 2.5 Million doesn't even include the PPV cut he'll get.

He is going to make 10 million plus easy

Some fighters get PPV money. I heard that DC is getting a cut. McGregor got like 10 million for his fight against Nate.

It's a fucked up system. They're not independent like boxers, or in a union like other athletes.

All fighters get pay to show, and pay to win. If you're big, you negotiate for a cut of PPV, but that's kept secret.

 

[Macattk15]

Sage by smile bomb.

All champions get a cut of PPV revenue, and a select few others at the very top tier (Brock for example).

There were eight fights, but you bring up an interesting point. And i agree with fighters deserving better compensation.

Poor Sage.

[Levito]

Sage is adorable, he's like a human golden retriever.

 

[shoryukens]

[Dr.Acula]

Gomi was doing so good, no stupid tattoos for him, then BAM -stupid hair! So close, bro!

Shooting star press or bust

 

[Guru-Guru]

All 1st round finishes. Fun, but not very competitive of course.

 

[ldcommando]

fuck , missed the facebook prelims. were the fights good?

Yes, 3 quick finishes. The jlau - Sanchez one was particularly brutal.

 

[Guru-Guru]

It's funny that they go all the way to Spain to find a can for Northcutt to fight.

 

[ron_bato]

Man, sage northcutt's wrestling and ground game... is terrible... Granted I don't know much of this Marin guy, but he's making equally dumb mistakes too.

First thing I thought of was Brock popping out of the floor Rey Mysterio style.

"Who's that jumping out the sky? R-E-Y Mysterio. Here we go!"

 

[Calderc]

Sage is exactly what a Disney-designed, MMA fighting Prince would look like.

 

[Fitts]

Lol at the whistles for the north south.

Nice escape Sage. Don't fuck this up.

 

[brentech]

Sage showed some toughness there.

 

[Sagroth]

Or an MMA Ken doll.

 

[jabuseika]
