I don't see how they can pay TIMMAY!! $1.2 million if that report is accurate. That's MAYBE Fedor money.




Even Fedor is making too much money in relation to his drawing power.

Not something unexpected, but I sure didn't imagine it will come that soon.

EliteXC to follow.

with all these promotions in financial trouble and on the verge of tanking, maybe people will realize the UFC is doing it right with slow increases of pay over a long time. There's a reason they've been able to stay alive and move to the top of the game. This isn't the NFL or Boxing. The UFC, in it's present incarnation, isn't even 10 years old. You can't expect a company to run in debt for 3 years, and then 5 years later be able to pay it's top tier fighters 1M per fight and it's undercard fighters 30k per fight. 7-8 years is still VERY YOUNG.
