114 fighter salaries. Major lol @ Todd Duffee!

[Super Mario]

It's hilarious that Duffee only made 8K. He just might have to go back to Dairy Queen with his ability to not be able to take a punch. Russow took every shot Duffee could give him, and stood there like his name was Cabbage. Then Duffee gets hit once and is out like the lights before bedtime! Love it!

Wow, $250K is all that Rampage made (after all of the $$ he brought in to this fight)??? :shock: No wonder he's trying to get out & into an acting career! :?

I know that's alot of cash but what the big fight's bring to the table, this output doesn't do him justice (UFC114 was a pretty nice fight card "BUT" the Rampage/Rashad fight is what brought the people in). I'll miss Rampage when he leaves MMA for acting but I now can totally accept his reasoning for doing so (when he inevitably does).

 

[Super Mario]

If he can make a living acting and not have to be a vegtable later in life, good for him.

The allure of the HW division. Where one punch can end a fight.

In all fairness Duffee looked good. I have a feeling very few people can take the shots Russow did.

The punch Russow landed looked like a perfect shot. Probably would have ko'd many HWs!

I'm pretty sure Rampage has a contract where he gets a cut of the PPV buys, I'm pretty sure including that and his sponsors and PPV buys he makes well north of 1MIL per fight.

Think about it though, and this is assuming that Rampage has the same sort of win bonus that Rashad has. Not including any sort of PPV cuts or any of that because I have no clue how much that would be, if Page wins he pockets about $500,000 and even if he loses its still $250,000. Assuming he fights about 3 times a year and wins 2 out of those three, he still pockets over 1 million. I bet he makes just as much if not more through sponsor ships, appearance fees and things to that nature.

While I agree its an extremely dangerous sport where your health is put on the line on almost a daily basis, if you can become one of the top guys in the UFC you make some serious money. While its certainly not Boxing or MLB money, its certainly enough to make a very good living.
