Not really

 

[benjo0101]

Not really

But the fact he nearly tripled his old pay tells a story

Truth. Just a bit more of fuck all.

What's $80k in real money? I should google it

Count all of the manager, coaches fees also

80k after taxes, coaches etc maybe 40k

 

[Hwoarang]

80k after taxes, coaches etc maybe 40k

And he fights once every couple of years.
So he basically got a pay rise to a solid $20k/year.
Living the good life! (About on par with a part time janitor at Walmart)

Damn that's not enough is it

 

[Weidman's right nut]

Is it enough? Maybe not but it is a substantial raise for him. Al stands to make 130K should he win, not too bad. It's Al's choice as to how often he fights (for the most part). Injury free Al could fight 3 times in a year, winning gets him roughly 400K, again probably "not enough" but in reality, in today's world in or out of a cage 400K really isn't horrible

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

Damn that's not enough is it

Considering that it's a number that he was happy enough with that he was willing to re-sign. I'd say yes. He's making good money in real estate so he doesn't need to fight to feed himself anymore. Which also means that if he feels it's not worth his time then he's not going to fight. A possible $130k is obviously worth it to him.

Now we just need more fighters willing to walk away unless they get a number that they're comfortable with.

Signs a one fight deal and admits that he doesn't want to get his ass kicked by Khabib.

Cool beans.

 

[txstr1986]

$80K just to show? Man, that's like 8,000 bananas for scale

 

[The Sound of Violence]

Signs a one fight deal and admits that he doesn't want to get his ass kicked by Khabib.

Cool beans.

It's a 4 fight deal. Crooklyn taped a dope interview with Al where he talks about the negotiation process along with a bunch of other stuff. Solid ep.
