This kind of makes me a little sick, thinking that these guys aren’t getting the money they deserve. UFC pulled in nearly $4 MILLION at the live gate, and God knows how much from pay-per-view buys.
When it all shakes down, I think these guys could stand to make a little more money, especially the ones getting the hell beat out of them only taking $3,000 home. They may already be grossly overpaid to begin with, but I think it should be more proportional with the total revenue brought in from the event.
