Golden Boy Payouts to fighters

[FrankieNYC]

Meltzer:
Chuck Liddell is getting $250,000 guaranteed and Tito Ortiz is getting $200,000, plus both men also get 30 percent of the live gate and PPV revenue.
Lawlor is getting $25,000 flat for his first fight in nearly three years, while Winn is getting $5,000 to show and $5,000 to win.
Both Efrain Escudero and Gleison Tibau are getting $10,000 to show and $10,000 to win.
For a promotion that has made fun of how little UFC pays its fighters, with the except of the main eventers getting a far bigger cut from what will likely be a small PPV number and the live gate, fighters are making significantly less than in UFC for a major show.

Oscar De La Hoya said it's a no-brainer this show will do more than 200,000 buys.

No shit Meltzer?

Are we also gonna give Oscar 200 fight nights to bring that up, or are we gonna crucify their payouts in their first show?

If oscar didn't go around bragging how he will pay more & how fighters deserve more, that would be one thing.
Its easy to pay more until its your money

“I’m really looking forward to getting into the MMA world and making sure that these fighters are being compensated well,” De La Hoya told Fight Hub TV. “Because look, we risk our lives up in the ring. So fighters should be compensated extremely well.”


De La Hoya went on to express his disgust towards the current pay scale of MMA fighters.


“The current structure is terrible,” De La Hoya said. “I’ve been talking to many, many fighters in the MMA, and it’s ridiculous on what they get paid. It’s crazy. It gets me sick to my stomach.”


“I’m gonna start Golden Boy MMA for a reason, and that’s gonna start with Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz to pay them correctly. To pay them what they deserve.”

So he says that & does this

Like I said
It is easy to spend someone else' money when you talk fighter pay

Now obviously they won't make UFC money on this event, but STFU about bragging you will pay more & then do the opposite

Chuck and Tito seemed surprised earlier this week when Ariel asked them about Golden Boy running a Black Friday sale on their ppv price. Real hopeful it works out for all the fighters but this has fuxkery and shit storm written all over it.

Perhaps you didn't get the memo.
Between Tito & Chuck getting THIRTY PERCENT of the PPV,
Expenses for production, insurance and every other fee....what are they supposed to be paying with?

These other fighters are fighting just to fight.
An upstart gave them a slot and they jumped at it.

This promotion is not ten years deep, blanketing their Vegas driveways with snow made off the backs of fighters who put blood, sweat and tears on the line.

Oscar isn't switching Lamborghinis from Casino to Casino laughing with Hefty bags full of money blowing more on one roulette game than an entire UFC card minus a main and co-main.

This show is on credit.
What are you even comparing?

You're posting about 10 fucking years too early.

Why don't you pretend you like ALL mma for a change.

That might be the reason they changed
It was supposedly because contractually they could not offer the discount
