There seeks to be a lot of discussion about this lately in lieu of the sponsorship debacle, so im wondering:
Has any fighter ever stated their full pay over the course of a year? By that i mean show money, win and bonus money if applicable, sponsorship money and anything else they may be receiving- i.e. ppv cut or other discretionary bonuses from the UFC
Now has any mid tier boxer ever done the same for sake of comparison? Dana and the Fertittas constantly point out that 95% of boxings money is payed to the main event fighters, i want to know how a lower tier boxer compares to a lower tier UFC fighter, or mid to mid. Upper tier i know theres no comparison.
I know in Chuck Liddells book he said that months after the Tito fight he was still getting ppv bonus checks in the 6 figures. I know thats Chuck Liddell though and he's one of Danas best friends, but im wondering what most fighters' TOTAL pay is.
