Jon's sub skills are nasty despite the fact that he doesn't wear pajamas when he trains

How much does the average boxer outside your main big stars make?

Devon Alexander just made 600k to fight Amir Khan on regular Showtime....which is more than Jon Jones got as a headliner of a PPV which was heavily anticipated:snoop:


Timothy Bradley made 2 million alone in his last fight. That's almost 700k more than the ENTIRE UFC 182 card was paid (Bradley: 2 million.....UFC 182 total salaries combined: 1.3 million):wow:


MMA Fighters dont receive shyt brehs:manny:

Ehh I would consider those guys names. I'm pretty sure no name undercard fighters get paid shyt like these UFC guys too. Its a real conflicted catch 22. Yea its true I think MMA guys should be paid more. Until independent promoters get involved like boxing that wont change tho. Plus its still a relatively new sport compared to boxing. But guys like Cormier aren't starving. I'm not sure if that 90k includes his bonus. Plus they never disclose sponsor pay/random bonus money for the fukk of it/etc. Cormier is basically working out of his gym and hes a coach, so hes probably getting money from that. And he works for Fox as an analysts.

Breh....names? There is NO way possible that Devon Alexander, Amir Khan, Timothy Bradley, Keith Thurman, should all have been guaranteed more money than Jon Jones + Daniel Cormier COMBINED:dead:

We comparing regular HBO/Showtime free cable purses to UFC PAY PER VIEW, again PPV, payouts....and for Timothy Bradley to make 4x as much as Jon Jones (who's basically MMA's biggest star right now) is insane considering Timothy Bradley doesnt even HAVE a fanbase:wow:

The 18 boxers who fought each other on cable on December 11th, their purses grossed 5.1 million. That's about 283k per boxer on average

Comparing that with the 22 fighters who fought each other at UFC 182 on PPV at 59.99 per buy, their purses (including bonus/perfomance bonus/etc) grossed 1.5 million. That's about 68k on average:scusthov:


Daniel Cormier was guaranteed almost the SAME amount of money as Leonard Bundhu who isnt known at all. Cormier was guaranteed 90k and Bundhu was guaranteed 85k:mindblown:

Devon isn't a name breh, casuals don't know who he is, Jon Jones on the other hand. :usure: I don't even follow mma like that and I know he is the man.

Devon got paid 600k for fighting you're adding up these side things to bring that number up but it doesn't change the fact dude made 90k for fighting while headlining a ppv. And unranked jobber from a lower weight class got over 100k to fight Garcia on regular showtime man.

shyts fukked up :mjcry: dudes have to pay more guys in their camps as well. :mjcry: Dana White is a demon :mjcry:

:snoop: Well they are getting sued by fighters now. If they don't settle their business will be on record. Maybe more promoters will pop up and money can be spread. IDK what that will do for the sport tho.

That's essentially the point I was trying to make in my two posts earlier, but your usage of GIFS were better than my rambling :laugh:

This is Josh Koscheck. He basically only fought for a title once like 5 years ago and hes house looks like the average rapper/ball player



From what I've heard Koscheck has a good team around him, makes smart real estate investments, and owns some businesses. Most of his wealth comes from outside of fighting. The average guy with Koscheck's career isn't living like that.
