for sure they are.. back in the day the like ufc 1 the champ took home like 50 grand

the winner definitely banks....for the average contetstant? I have no idea...

**thegame01** · 01-26-2003, 06:19 AM

I know they bank some $$.Actually i would think it would be quite a bit for the champs but then again in the last fight against Shamrock ,Tito said the $ wasnt worth Chuck frienship and that they may have to go to japan(Pride fighting i guess)

I am hoping someone knows this as i cant find it anywhere .We all know what boxers and every other athlete are getting paid why not the UFC fighters ???????

Thanks

go to www.titoortiz.com and look on the message board under ufc I just put the question on there. Someone on there should know. If not you can go to www.fullcontactfighter.com they might know also.

Ditto...but on Swedish tv

Dont they show it on British tv? Im sure i have friends in London that watch.

Palme, I've never heard of it being broadcast over here. And we get most if not all the UK's main stations on cable and satellite. Of course we get that other WWE muck, but man how anyone could watch that shit is beyond belief.

the ufcs started out around $50,000 to the winner. they then went with the super fights that paid a little more--i believe $60,000 to winer $20,000 to loser. now they are promoting the ufc better and being with time warner getting more of a payday
pride in japan pays alot more. they have 90,000 fans in the stands watching and its on pay per view
as far as exact amout i'm unsure but the last ufc did have bigger payday
