By my calculations, they paid out $755 000.

The PPV taking was probably $20 million gross. After costs, Zuffa is taking home a whole heap of money. More of that booty should be shared with the fighters…

I’m sorry Gatties, I did not know you were a contract expert.LOL. Contracts have stipulations, I am just suprised that the UFC did not look for the what if’s…………soooooo the armchair pundits does understand contracts, I guess it would be interesting to see what Mir’s Contract looks like. Ohh man Gatties you sure look like chuck Liddel………..LOL…….what does his contract say?

Mir is still on his old UFC contract. Thats how contracts work. You sign a deal and you live with the deal you sign. Thats why Mir makes good money and Rich gets paid crappy. Mir was a champ and Rich wasn’t hardly known. I just get so sick of armchair pundits who don’t get it. I’m sure if Mir is re-signed, it will be for far less money just like Rich will get paid alot better on his next deal.

I’m sure we will have this same discussion after Doc posts the payouts for the next UFC event.

wow! for real man! i didnt realize those guys were injured, Especially for Joe Daddy, from round 1 to grind out a 3 round decision. You gotta be a tough SOB!! so thats why he sounded like that when he was talking to Rogan. We were joking about how he got a fat lip and he sounded like he was punchy, but he had a broken jaw.. DAAAAM thats your future LW champ right there. Way to tough it out Joe!

Oh ya, i also wanted to comment on Mirs pay.. for a guy whos lucky to be on the undercard fight, hes making a killing! he made more than double what stevenson got, and as far as im concerned hes the #1 contender! They should cut Mir loose and resign Yves Edwards man.. the guys a good fighter and he would definately work as an undercard fighter.
