PLEASE re-READ my article. I’m going to start selling my perdictions to Vegas betters. LOL.
UFC is paying Cro-Cop well. They’re out to get the best fighters. I can see that now.
wow that was a nice payday for cro cop eh? i think that is the biggest pay out to one fighter i’ve seen yet. i dont know if anyone has got more for one fight. if anyone knows about a bigger one let me know i wanna find out. thats really good to see though it proves if you work hard and fight hard people will want to see you do it and you’ll get your big pay day. i’m sure cro cop has enough bank right now to kick back for the rest of his life…nice!
p.s.Dana White: hey sanchez we are gonna give 30 g’s to take a beating from cro cop you game?
Sanchez: yeah i’m a pretty fast runner!
LOL
HEY RJ…..
THERE WAS A BIGGER ONE…. ROYCE GRACIE VS MATT HUGHES…… THEY PAID GRACIE LIKE EITHER 400 OR 500 GRAND ONE OF THE TWO!!!
damn thats huge but its cool to see a guy like royce get his. he was the first to really showcase what makes mma stand out from any other fight sport.
Yeah…I can’t believe how much more Cro got…but it’s obviously very justified. The guy is a stone-cold warrior…doesn’t talk smack, doesn’t seem fazed by anything…just goes in…dominates…gets paid. I hope this sends a message to other fighters out there (Tim Sylvia, Patrick Cote etc.) when you fight like a bi*ch, you get paid like a bi*ch. Even though they do ok…they should have salary fines for fighting the way they do.
This is what I’m talking about. Crocop getting 350k to beat up Sanchez. With payout like this Fedor has to be taking notes. Forget loyalty to Pride bring Fedor where he will get the money he deserves. Once Mirko has the belt bring Fedor in for the HW championship of the worlp part 2.
Pride has their champ Gomi making less than Eastman and as much as the why is he even still in the UFC Cote.
