Nunes doesn't deserve anywhere near the pay Ronda does. If she was headlining this vs some random we would be looking at 150k buys. Instead with Ronda it will be 800k+

I'm not saying she deserves near the pay, but this is pathetic. It should be at least 200k/200k.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

Holy fuck

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Holy shit he dunked his head on the mat

 

[Kacho]

Ghosted. 😱

 

[dream]

RIP.

 

[Vandiger]

Woah.

 

[BrandonPckrfn]

Holy fuck Mike Pyle just died...

 

[PsychoMantis]

Holy shit

 

[brentech]

Needed the power of the mullet

She will get PPV points which will add a couple 100k more to that. She'll be getting paid.

DAMN AT THAT KO!!!!!!

 

[N° 2048]

Gooooood looorrrddddd

:| :| :| :|

off to a fucking amazing start

 

[Aiii]

Holy shit, what a finish.

 

[Wallach]

damn buddy

at least he probably won't remember that one

 

[Syder]

Concussion?

 

[Sephzilla]

Fuck

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

I don't want to see Pyle fight again after that

 

[RivalCore]

Fuck me, that was vicious!

 

[Obliterator]

That looked like Pyle just got actually killed in the cage.

Fuck....time to hang them up homie

 

[PsychoMantis]

I don't want to see Pyle fight again after that

Yeah for real, second KO in a row

 

[SDBurton]

Daaaamn!

In regards to Nunes' pay that is some horseshit. Of course Ronda is a huge draw but come on, the champ getting stiffed like that? FOH

 

[mercenar1e]

3 million and she doesn't even have to stay around for half a minute to answer a question by Joe Rogan. Well done, Ronda, you got them in your pocket.

that's because Rondas management/agent is the same group of people that own the UFC right?

But, I mean, this is entertainment, and I'm not sure anyone is paying money to see "Amanda Nunes" fight.

 

[Chumley]

Can these fighters please stop pleading for the fight bonus. Let the fight speak for itself. Fuck sake.

Speaks volumes on how much they're underpaid, doesn't it?

Then pay them properly UFC lol

True. Pay should go up across the board dramatically, I was just talking about the fight of the night bonus begging.

 

[Chesskid1]

i was thinking about this the other day

100k is considered alot for a ufc fighter

50% is instantly gone to taxes, then who knows how much management/coaches/camps take out after that

100k is like nothing

It's true that with taxes / camp pay a fighter making 100k won't be actually taking home anything near that. It looks like it's much more than it is.

But with PPV realistically Nunes makes at least 400k-500k to tonight

 

[SDBurton]

At this time she's still the champ, and should be getting a pay that's respectable for that position.

 

[Kacho]

Amanda Nunes will likely never be a draw and her pay will reflect that. Unfortunate part of the business but it is what it is.

 

[ironcreed]

This is Diaz vs McGregor, which I and many others also called. Only McGregor is the real deal. Ronda is not even close.

 

[brentech]

If you think people are buying this card because Nunes is defending a belt, L O fucking L.
If you want to make the argument that all fighters aren't paid enough, sure. The fighters deserve a lot of things in general from the UFC, but no, Nunes absolutely does not deserve to earn more than Rousey win or loss.

She can eventually do that if she becomes a dominant champ that defends her belt a bunch of times and earns an audience. Or, she could become mighty mouse.

 

[alr1ght]

That was a career ender for Pyle.

Since they're contractors, fighters should be able to deduct expenses like training so taxes really shouldn't be that bad.

Fo real. In general 40 year olds shouldn't be in the cage.

 

[Phoenix RISING]

#DEAD

 

[jett]

That guy got murked.

 

[ironcreed]

Miesha is great on commentary. Love her.

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah at his age, he should not come back. Retire

 

[N° 2048]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu Miesha...

 

[Obliterator]

Miesha is great on commentary. Love her.

Honestly yeah she is doing fantastic. They would be smart to keep her on commentary regularly

 

[Chumley]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu Miesha...

 

[Wallach]

man I forgot dillishaw v linniker was on this card, that should be an awesome fight

 

[ironcreed]

Pretty much sums up that shit.

First bolded: I never said that, so chill.

Second bolded: That's what I'm arguing about. No way in hell should she be getting a higher amount than Ronda, but 100k? Please.

 

[Kacho]

I just noticed the cops eyes at the end of that Tate gif lmao

 

[Mr.NiceGuy]

TJ-Cody-Ronda

These are my picks

 

[parrotbeak]

"Cody will show him NO LOVE, later tonight."

Savor every Goldie line, guys. This is it.

 

[NYR]

Um that's not how this works, not at all lol.

Belts matter. They carry power. If they didn't, Rousey wouldn't have gotten out of bed to take this fight, not even for 5 mill if the belt wasn't on the line.

Nunes did not neogotiate properly and will pay for it.

 

[Chumley]

Cody having a shit Dad makes me not hate him as much now.

Still want him to get murked though.
