They about to make this a commission thing.

Hence why all them dudes asking for a boxing payday.

Crawford and Spence did 67500-700k in PPV and got $25 million a piece plus PPV.

Them MMA dudes are getting MURKED with the money. It's organized crime. Dudes being selling the same amount and get 100k

And folks wondered why Francis ran fast as fukk from it. Diaz is getting 3x his highest payday washed up vs a YouTube star. Shyts all sorts of fukked up.

Amanda and Hardy bout to make more than Gathje and Poirier

Now you see why Dana was so pissed about Francis leaving and talking about the Bellator PFL merger.

Their day is coming with this money. He gonna stiff the wrong one. All I'm saying

Gathje vs Poirier did 750k PPV's and 40 million in revenue so Spence/Bud on a different night would have topped a Milly likely.

Their purses are 700k and 900k. To say this is criminal is an understatement. Even with their "bonuses" MMA dudes like to say they get like tops 800k or 1 mill. Justin and Poirier are about the same level of popularity as Crawford and Spence. Well-known but not household names.

There is absolutely zero justification for this company to make as much money as it does and those fighters get paid absolute .

Francis making 600k as HW champ.

What's wild is that that's the GROSS pay. After taxes, cornermen (trainer, cutman, leeches), training expenses (gym & location), and any medical expenses, they'll be lucky to take home 1/2 the pay.
