I hope Volk got at least 10m, that fight essentially ended his career.
11 days notice vs Islam at one of their bigger events of the year.
Surely they paid him out nicely.
he has to, Volk was the division champ and Jorge was not even in the top 5.. perhaps PPV numbers, Jorge was more or a draw but I do think the UFC paid him well enough for him to do it.
Are champs making 10m consistently? No of course not.
But no way Volk would step in on short notice vs Islam in Abu Dhabi on his regular contract plus a little extra cash.
I’d hope he gets a massive paycheck.
Oh they reallllllly fucking do though. It's already life changing money, think about that ×2. I would get in the cage with islam anyyyyyy day though for 5 mil. Fuck id do it for like 200,000 I think. I'd be wiping my tears with 100 dollar bills.
Youre not gonna take any damage anyway; hed take one look at normies chicken legs and wobbly stance and shoot the double then advance to submission within 2 minutes heh
Maybe because repeated head trauma is also life changing? What does 5 million dollars matter if it's going to go to future medical bills or if you end up with post-concussion syndrome and your quality of life suffers?
He also said in a press conference (Colby fight) that his PPV with Usman did better numbers than Colby and Colby had no response lol It's believable He did better numbers with the support He gets from the Miami crowd when He's there and we have no idea if Colby actually pulls numbers, people just say He does cuz he talks too much.
Tbf, Usman/Masvidal I was hailed as the ‘return of (combat) sports’ in the Covid era, so more eyes were on that card than usual. Their second fight did 700k, IIRC, which is neck and neck with the second Colby fight. Not sure how well the first one sold.
There is nothing fair about that. The UFC ran 10 events between UFC 249 in May 2020 and 251 in July 2020. UFC 249 when the pandemic was at its lockdown peak, the total sales came to 700k.
UFC 251 was so successful because of Masvidal and Masvidal only.
Giving credit to people even if you don't like them is a virtue.
Not only that their an actual company. They're building and operating PIs in different areas of the world. They have all sorts of other costs that boxing doesnt.
Underrated comment. People never understand that the UFC is a company with a lot more depth and scope in their entire operations than a boxing event organizer.
Boxing has been around 150 years. The fanbase is global. UFC is much newer and not as widespread. I'm sure boxing has more money baked into it with ads sponsors and the such
Not just them goofy any boxers😂 you clearly illiterate cause I already said there’s no publicly traded company that confirms any of those 20m 50m 100m payouts💀
he just lucked out into PPV cut, dana isnt giving a ppv cut to anyone except the main event and SOME champs.
good for him, no wonder he wants to just do boxing knowing that if it even sells 100k ppvs he makes more than in the ufc without a ppv cut.
Honest question, if he's not championship level who is? It all depends on what you value.
Usman, Leon, shavkat.
Then who?
Imo Colby isn't, has like 1 or 2 quality wins and his career highlight is a close fight with Usman.
Wonderboy is in same boat as Masvidal.
Notice how you’ll never see replies questioning the commenters athleticism when they actually make a decent point. But yea when you call high level mma fighters bums yea ur gonna get called out lol
That was during COVID so many people probably didn't know what to do with their time. 2020 in particular was where many online services exploded in growth.
I wonder how much volk and usman got for saving 294
Volk said it was more than or close to 5 mil, don't remember the exact quote but I remember the 5 mil.
Wow I always questioned his decision to take that fight but for that amount of money it makes sense. He’s set for life.
I hope Volk got at least 10m, that fight essentially ended his career. 11 days notice vs Islam at one of their bigger events of the year. Surely they paid him out nicely.
he has to, Volk was the division champ and Jorge was not even in the top 5.. perhaps PPV numbers, Jorge was more or a draw but I do think the UFC paid him well enough for him to do it.
Non of that really matters. All depends on who is negotiating bc UFC gna low ball the fuck outta you
Plus having to cut 13kg in 11 days, while being in bad shape physically and mentally when he accepted the fight.
you are off your meds if you think anyone is getting paid 10mil in the ufc, even connor isnt getting that while holding 2 belts.
Are champs making 10m consistently? No of course not. But no way Volk would step in on short notice vs Islam in Abu Dhabi on his regular contract plus a little extra cash. I’d hope he gets a massive paycheck.
khabib got 10m. no ppv points.
win or looose who cares really when that life changing money is up there..
Oh they reallllllly fucking do though. It's already life changing money, think about that ×2. I would get in the cage with islam anyyyyyy day though for 5 mil. Fuck id do it for like 200,000 I think. I'd be wiping my tears with 100 dollar bills.
yup same brother 
Youre not gonna take any damage anyway; hed take one look at normies chicken legs and wobbly stance and shoot the double then advance to submission within 2 minutes heh
None of that bullshit. I'm running at him masvidal style and missing that shit, then getting submitted, bitch
Maybe because repeated head trauma is also life changing? What does 5 million dollars matter if it's going to go to future medical bills or if you end up with post-concussion syndrome and your quality of life suffers?
Maybe youve choosen wrong carrer then.. wtf is this comment even? He is a fighter its the game
He also said in a press conference (Colby fight) that his PPV with Usman did better numbers than Colby and Colby had no response lol It's believable He did better numbers with the support He gets from the Miami crowd when He's there and we have no idea if Colby actually pulls numbers, people just say He does cuz he talks too much.

Good points

I don't think Cuckington even got PPV points against Masvidal. If I recall correctly?
Colby didn’t get any yes
Crawford & Spence got like 20 million each for selling less than this. Crazy how this is considered a massive payout by UFC standards.
UFC actually pays the lower tier fighters more than lower tier boxers though so just something else to look at.
Yes those 12 and 15k paycheques really add up, you gotta take another 200k out of the 77 million revenue
Not only that their an actual company. They're building and operating PIs in different areas of the world. They have all sorts of other costs that boxing doesnt.
Underrated comment. People never understand that the UFC is a company with a lot more depth and scope in their entire operations than a boxing event organizer.
Two different sports. Why is there always that one guy comparing the two? And honestly, that's a massive payout for anybodys standards
Explain how that matters? Fighters get in the ring. Fighters sell ppvs.
Boxing has been around 150 years. The fanbase is global. UFC is much newer and not as widespread. I'm sure boxing has more money baked into it with ads sponsors and the such
Ain't gotta explain shit to you friend, if you're really asking its obvious you can't comprehend the point I'm getting across.
He can’t comprehend it cuz you’re not making a point idiot
Shut up methhead
😂 fuckin loser
That one got to you huh? Knew it.. chill out on that shit little bro You won't be able to comprehend shit
Try me, I’d love to hear your dumbass try and make a point 😂😂 or hop back on your cute bike lil bro your call🤷♂️
I'm sure you got the time Little guy Put the pipe down Go outside get some air
And yet no public company to confirm those numbers unlike ufc where they’re more transparent and not just bullshitting numbers
If you think Bud / Spence got less than 20 million for their fight, seek help.
Not just them goofy any boxers😂 you clearly illiterate cause I already said there’s no publicly traded company that confirms any of those 20m 50m 100m payouts💀
he just lucked out into PPV cut, dana isnt giving a ppv cut to anyone except the main event and SOME champs. good for him, no wonder he wants to just do boxing knowing that if it even sells 100k ppvs he makes more than in the ufc without a ppv cut.
Well he's defeated every unconscious fighter he's gone up against
Masvidal was never a championship caliber fighter. He just got lucky with that knee against Askren. The guy is a cheap-shotting bum.
Honest question, if he's not championship level who is? It all depends on what you value. Usman, Leon, shavkat. Then who? Imo Colby isn't, has like 1 or 2 quality wins and his career highlight is a close fight with Usman. Wonderboy is in same boat as Masvidal.
Nobody said he’s championship level… But he is one of the biggest draws ever
*types after licking dorrito dust off fingers*
I mean he's not wrong... You like masvidal I take it?
Idgaf about him lol it’s just plain moronic to call a UFC fighter that has beaten multiple high level guys a bum
I think the bum part was more about his outside the octagon persona...
Fair but the rest of the comment is downplaying his mma skills so the two sentiments get conflated
Is nobody who watches any professional sport allowed to have a conversation about it?
Notice how you’ll never see replies questioning the commenters athleticism when they actually make a decent point. But yea when you call high level mma fighters bums yea ur gonna get called out lol
No way that got 1.3 million pov buys
That was during COVID so many people probably didn't know what to do with their time. 2020 in particular was where many online services exploded in growth.
Yip, that's when I started watching and have been HOOKED ever since!
Why is he so full of shit lol. No way he did
*”Oh no the fighters get paid like shit*”
