    It's a joke that the bonuses have been $50k since _2013._ If the amount had kept up with inflation the bonuses would currently be $68k and that doesn't account for how much more money the UFC makes now. The bonuses for every card going forward should be something like $85k if not $100k.

      Forget keeping up with inflation, the UFC could increase fighter pay through it's live gate numbers and other revenue sources alone without even giving them a percentage of TV or sponsorship deals. This company made 1.3 Billion dollars last year, but these fighters will never fight for what should be theirs, so why even care. It's just sad.

    Everyone who gets a finish should get the 50k, not just this weekend but in the future as well. Hopefully, for the fighters' sake, this is the beginning of being paid what they deserve. Ufc makes enough money off each card and sponsors to pay each fighter handsomely. The prelims should also get separate bonuses, not as high as main card but still some bonus because I've seen a few fights on prelims that's been better than some main card fights and they don't get the credit they deserve because they was the 3rd prelims fight for example

    Dana might give more performance and fight of the night bonuses but the situation is is that the higher up on the card somebody is the more they stand to lose if they do try to do anything based upon really just trying to get that bonus as opposed to get the win because getting the wind is in the long run going to get them more money losing a championship of any type is going to cost you so obviously you're not going to do anything to jeopardize that but of course Justin and Max are going to throw down regardless and so probably to a good degree are Weili and Yan, especially if Weil keeps it on the feet.
    And definitely there should always be a performance bonus strictly just on a finish because then you have people who are really a bit more motivated to go for it and it's a huge incentive for those with low show pay .. so maybe a 10k - 12k finish bonus

    Good call out on it being sad that the fighters were like excited children in a classroom at the prospect of $300K. To average people like us, that’s a lot, but you’ll be hard pressed to put together a room of the top NBA players, for example, and have them so excited at the prospect of having a chance to win $300K. Fighters are paid far too little and have way more dangerous of a job compared to other professional athletes.

    Imo it changed everything as there was not a boring fight on the card (Outside of Aljo, but imo Aljo is comfortable where he’s at and what he’s getting paid so you can’t pay him A million to be exciting he’s perfectly fine with his pay)
    The sad part is it 100% backfired somewhat on the UFC as it showed them that their fighters truly are starving out there and were willing to let it all go for that extra 300k Bonus and the even sadder part was they weren’t your basic fighters who were on the come up that are starving hard but a majority of them were all Champions of their Divisions at one point and some even Interim champions as well, some even as far as having defended the belt.
    But the UFC doesn’t see that therefore they won’t change the pay and the whole Fighter Pay issue is still a main part of the UFC. It’s like a f’d up deal as the fighter chooses to be paid way less then their worth just for the fame that follows the UFC, which is why I’m truly hoping that another organization eventually can rival them on that front as it’s widely known that other organizations pay their fighters very well and what they’re actually worth. And pay them like their lives are legit on the line. Only issue is Fighters never choose that promotion if ever offered as the second a UFC contracts is offered they eat it up regardless of how bad the pay is.
    Can you imagine how much better the fights become if Dana were to make the 300k Bonus a permanent thing? I think it 100% creates the best fights possible as everyone chases it and with it on the line there’s not much of the boring Lay -n- Pray that is a huge part of the sport especially after the Dagastani fighters.

      It's ridiculous that the bonus amount has been $50,000 for over 10 years now. If they'd kept pace with inflation since 2013 they would be $68,000 currently and that doesn't even consider how much more money the UFC makes now.

How they break down and cry if they land a 50k bonus..... them see Dana hand put snacks of bills to influencers like it's nothing to him. It okay though....

No. Hell does the UFC pay for the hotels the fighters and coaches are staying at?

    The 300K is certainly a huge incentive but I'd rather they gave 50K to anyone who gets a finish. It wouldn't be as big an incentive for people like Gaethje but it would be a much bigger one for the prelim fighters (would probably be cheaper too)

  • @mclew1234
    @mclew1234 Місяць тому

    People arguing that Dana throwing out 300k bonus means he can pay fighters better need to understand this is already a top 10 selling PPV with days to go, so they are going to have a record revenue from the PPV & this has drawn more attention than before so they probably make that additional $1 million back in additional sales. Maybe a way to incentive fighters in the future would be to have the performance bonus linked to the number of PPV buys, say $1 from every buy goes into the performance bonus pot, that way it is an incentive to every fighter on the card to help sell it.

  • @mattm8098
    @mattm8098 Місяць тому +1

    My views on bonuses.
    Since the 50k has been a mainstay number for over a decade, it’s not absurd to say they can afford more.
    I think every event the bonuses should go up by 500$. Around 46? Events a year so 46*500 = 23000 (extra a year added to the new bonus) so 73k for 2025, 96k for 2026.
    Even after ten years the bonus will stilll be under 300k which they’ve now shown they can afford. And in ten years time, a 273k bonus might not even mean as much as it does today.
    Also a tiered bonus system.
    Have a general bonus pool, either fan driver or sponsors or something.
    Then split the pool amongst all finishes.
    There needs to be more incentive for finishes later the apex cards are trash. Ufc fighters starting to fight like bellator fighters.

    • @GengoSenmon
      @GengoSenmon Місяць тому +1

      Appreciate the quantitative analysis. You forget the qualitative variables though. Not only has the UFC thrived financially by being cheap and exploitative to their fighters for decades (and will continue to until the fighters are brave enough to unionize), they are about to take a major financial hit from the lawsuit, AND they were relatively recently acquired by Endeavor. Dana needs to impress his new boss, Ari, with year-over-year growth metrics.

    Got a good laugh after Dana, having just agreed to raise the bonus from 50k to 300k, had a few seconds pause before proclaiming, " Don't ask me any more questions..." In response to him agreeing to a further 2 propositions put to him by the media in the literal 2 questions which preceded the aforementioned bonus raise request.
    You got to appreciate both the generosity Dana showed by granting 3 hugely significant requests in a row, all massively beneficial to all the fighters (& potentially life changing to those who make less than 50k per fight)
    ... just as much as I appreciated his brutal honesty at the realisation of the costs his promises will incur.
    He basically meant he wants to say yes to all questions but he'll get an earful off the owners lol.
