Still seems low for these guys, glad to see Leben make 20K and Diaz make 30K. those two looked great. How the F did cuommo make the most last night? I’m still pumped about last night though! Great card!

Wow..Luke Cummo has a good contract..his fight was an undercard and he made more than every winner except for Ken-Flo.

Should’nt Florian be in line for an extension? Dude fights some bad asses and only makes 11 and 11? That seems crazy to me, same with Din as well. He is a 9 year vet, beat the former lightweight champ(Jens), and current WW champ(Serra) and only makes twice as much as TUF 5 guy’s? Somebody help me figure this out. Isn’t Luke Cummo like 6-4 as well? Wow…

luke cummo is fun to watch, i wanted to see his fight, thats crazy he’s making more money than florian in a main event win when his fight didn’t even get shown…they definitely could have squeezed the cummo fight, the maynard fight and the hazelett fight into the show last night…

yeah, the maynard fight only lasted like 10 secs or some shit, they couldn’t cut out the soundless segment on spinal fusion and throw that fight in there? I’m definately not complaining though, i’ll say it again, great f’n card!!!

Kenny will be getting a pay raise when he gets a new contract…I wonder how many fights are left on his contract?

I wish I got to see the Cummo fight too..I love that nerd lol..he is always getting better with each fight he should be on a main card soon enough

Wow..Luke Cummo has a good contract..his fight was an undercard and he made more than every winner except for Ken-Flo.

it says cummo made 32K, florian only made 22K. that just doesn’t make sense to me. Cummo took home more than anyone last night? well, hopefully Leben got KO of the night and Diaz got sub of the night!

What fight do you guys think the fight of the night was? I give it to Quarry/Sell. That was a slug fest. The KO was sweet with the blood spraying!

Wow dana W is a cheap ass… Look, I dont know what these guys are making in their contracts but these paydays are tiny…

Quarry vs Sell would win fight of the night in my book..but Leben vs Martin..was a better KO finish in my book..that exchange was nasty..To try and debate and pick fight of the night..is great..shows how good this card was..UFC FightNight’s with the last Fisher/ Stout are becoming better then the PPV events..let’s see if UFC 76 on Saturday can us debating on who should get fight of the night.

Kenny is making crap for a guy who already competed for a title and is undefeated in has last 4-5 fights.

some of them are tiny, yes. but you can tell they’re getting better…look at cole miller and grey maynard. Those guys were making their ufc debuts and they got 16,000 to win, say for example cole fights 4 times this yr and wins them all (maybe not likely but it could happen) multiply 16,000 by 4 and you get 64,000. Add any bonus money he makes on to that and thats a pretty decent living.

Who got KO of the night, Quarry or Leben? I was pulling for Martin over Leben, but after taunting him the way he did after knocking Leben against the cage, Martin deserved to get KTFO.

WHy does Cummo get 32 and florian gets 22…i have a hard time believing this post….MANIA THIS DONT MAKE ANY SENSE!!!

WHy does Cummo get 32 and florian gets 22…i have a hard time believing this post….MANIA THIS DONT MAKE ANY SENSE!!!

You think I made it up? I checked the official document countless times just to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.

WHy does Cummo get 32 and florian gets 22…i have a hard time believing this post….MANIA THIS DONT MAKE ANY SENSE!!!

They are still fighting under their TUF contracts. The Tuf contracts have gotten progessions larger. Florian was on
TUF 1 and Cummo was in season 2.

makes sense greg…but if that were the case wouldn’t cole and grey have made more than both of them?

How does it behoove Spike to NOT show the undercards?? At least run those tonight or something. This undercard thing drives me crazy. Boxing never shows undercards because NO ONE CARES. MMA fans LOVE UNDERCARD FIGHTS!!!! It’s frustrating to me that we can’t even BEG Spike to watch their channel.

that is rediculous that cummo made more than leben and kenflo, i am glad leben ko’ed martin, he talks too much $hit and from what ive seen there isnt a whole lot to back up his mouth, except for lebens left

Who got KO of the night, Quarry or Leben? I was pulling for Martin over Leben, but after taunting him the way he did after knocking Leben against the cage, Martin deserved to get KTFO.

It’s tought to call. Both were great. I personally like Quarry’s better. Sure the exchange with Leben was a nice added suprise, but the blood shooting from the mouth of Sell was priceless. Possibly Maynard would get KO of the night. We didn’t get to see it but he KO’d the guy in 9 seconds with a left hook that dropped the guy followed by a 3 punch combo. I want to see that!

Yo..I just saw the Luke Cummo fight and that shit was funny.

Crocota is weird.number1..Luke catches him with a right..Crocota gets dazzed..and looks to the left as if some1 was talking to him..then Luke catches him again with the right..drops him and herb dean stops the fight..no joke it look like Crocota saw a angel a ghost something.

how do luke cummo and thiago alves two undercard fighters make more money than the main event winner kenny florian? That really puzzles me!

Hey UFCMANIA, we never got UFC 75 Fighter paydays and salaries……have any info on that

“Crocota throws a right and follows up with a scary face”

It was by far a very entertaining fight.

Raise these guys pay! Not to the millions but I think for the work and effort, and risk, not to mention the popularity of the sport. I could justify doubling these payouts. Din thomas pay will probably be spent on his injury. It sucks to think these guys fight 2 – 3 – 4 months and some are not even pulling down what I make in two weeks. Its crazy!

I GESS I WILL TAKE YOU WORD MANIA!!! THES FIGHTER ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF!!! UFC IS MAKING SO MUCH OF THE FIGHTERS>>>THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WERE TITO IS COMING FROM SAYING NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO FIGH A FRIEND….

How does Florian get less than Diaz?! These guys are fighting for peanuts!!

makes sense greg…but if that were the case wouldn’t cole and grey have made more than both of them?

Yeah, you are right; it doesn’t make sense.

yeah no kidding Kickinthehead

i had no idea these guys were making so little. its especially sad if they have to pay for their own medical expenses.

PhilQNY PhilQNY PhilQNY PhilQNY WHERE DID YOU GET TO SEE THE UNDERCARD???

i was impressed by thiago alves. marcus davis vs. alves anyone?

PhilQNY PhilQNY PhilQNY PhilQNY

WHERE DID YOU GET TO SEE THE UNDERCARD???

..A friend posted a bulletin on myspace with the fight.

LUCKEY YOU PhilQNY …. if anybody gets a web sit to see the undercards dont be shy…..

What’s wrong with Cummo winning some money. The guy is a great fighter and very exciting to watch. I am ready to see him on the main card. I guess it will be a while though….w/ da baby coming.

LUCKEY YOU PhilQNY …. if anybody gets a web sit to see the undercards dont be shy…..

dailymotion has them

i justed watched the cummo fight, it was quite entertaining, that crocota dude is a weird one, the first time in cummo’s career he was the more normal guy in the octagon…

dailymotion doesn’t have the alves/hironaka fight or the cole miller/leonard garcia fight though…but you can see cummo against the weird guy, gray maynard/joe veres and hazelett/goulet…

LUCKEY YOU PhilQNY …. if anybody gets a web sit to see the undercards dont be shy…..
dailymotion has them

… What is that??? is that a web sit or anything?..how do i get to it..?? please help

What fight do you guys think the fight of the night was? I give it to Quarry/Sell. That was a slug fest. The KO was sweet with the blood spraying!

The Quarry KO was definately sweet, but my vote is for Leben, basically due to the fact that he about got his head torn off by that wicked Martin right, Martin proceeded to taunt Leben and CL came back with a flury and ultimately got the KO with a left hook that looked like it came from Arizona!

my vote for fight of the night, KO of the night and possibly FOY goes to Leben, because of the aforementioned, plus the fact that Leben changed up his game so effectively and really looked like a well rounded fighter!

yeah, if anyone has a link to the undercards, get it up!

… What is that??? is that a web sit or anything?..how do i get to it..?? please help

go to dailymotion.com and search for ufn 11

Leben earned every penny of that money last night! Crazy that they make so little. If the UFC isn’t covering their Medical that’s even more nuts! Fighters Union anyone?

Thanks alot """"""tha spida""""" … i will search after im done work at 4:30pm.. i wanna see the 9 sec fight…. thank again…………and """PW"" VEGANS HAVE LOOSE TOOLS >> THATS FUNNY>>>

go to www.dailymotion.com to see some undercard fights. I love when Maynard explains what he did and he watched the screen, “Ding”. LoL, that was great.

i wonder why florian isnt pist about all the other fighter making more money..or at least complaining to media… i would be loosing my mind.. undercard makes 10 thousand more than me.. i feel bad for Ken Flow..

WAS THAT THE LAST FIGHT NIGHT? ARE THE RUMORS TRUE

Anyone got a link to the Cole Miller and Thiago alves fight? Please post it. Thanks.

Wow..Luke Cummo has a good contract..his fight was an undercard and he made more than every winner except for Ken-Flo.

HUH, what were you looking at and reading. It clearly shows that Luke got $32k and Kenny got $22k. Thats pretty crazy. It also looks like the UFC got Leonard Garcia locked up to a shitty contract. He went from getting $3k to $6k. Big Whoop. Yeah, he lost to Cole, but I never seen a boring Garcia fight.

Kenflo isnt still uner contract from TUF is he? Because 3 guys made more than he did.

..a mis type.. " including " Ken-Flo

I just watched the Cummo/Crocata fight, and I’m STILL laughing. Crocata gets introduced from his corner while wearing a beaten up straw cowboy hat, and he stomps his fight like a bull. If you like the bull-like footstomps, then keep watching. He appearantly like to take the center of the octagon and stomp his fight like a bull, or to try and cause it to rain in doors. Wierd dude. Then like 20 seconds into the fight, he starts to see ghosts, and he literally waves to a person that isn’t there. Then he counters a Cummo punch “with a right hand and a scary face”. Then he reaches in the air with each of his hands like 4 times, like he is tyring to catch invisible butterflies, or fireflies. Then he gets rocked and hears a ghost talking to him. So instead of paying attention to the person trying to knock his head off, he keeps looking at his newly found friend, Casper, and then gets knocked out. This is one of the strangest fights I’ve ever seen. And here it is:

http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/luke cummo/video/x30t9n_edilberto-crocota-vs-luke-cummo-ufn_extreme

dailymotion doesn’t have the alves/hironaka fight or the cole miller/leonard garcia fight though…but you can see cummo against the weird guy, gray maynard/joe veres and hazelett/goulet…

That’s correct, dailymotion has those 3 fights. I woulda been mad if they had the Miller/Garcia on there, because that would have meant that I wasted 2 hard earned dollars. Well, actually not too hard earned, seeing I’m at work right now, and since I’m still hourly for some reason, I made much more than $2 while watching the fight. Some things just work out!

Dustin Hazelett is sweet at BJJ, WOW.

What a nice kid too. Guolet seems like a jerk for the most part, always talking crap over the computer about what top fighter he can destroy. I wouldn’t have been upset if he broke his arm – GREAT sportsmanship on the part of Dustin.

I REALLY want to see more of this Dustin Hazelett kid. He is extemely talented, especially for being 21. He said he has been training strictly BJJ for years, I wonder how many – he’s not very old.

I only found 1 other fight of his. Its funny too because after watching him vs Goulet, I was wondering how is striking is. Appearantly, its pretty decent, just ask Chad Reiner!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imOxcUtq2_Y

I gotta get home and check out the Alves, Cummo, and Maynard fights. This card was seriously thick with some great fights. Granted… sloppy at times, but great fights.

wow….that was just a terrible attempt at a quote. i meant to quote the part where mike said that they both fought at the TUF finale. yeah they had fought in the octagon before, but TUF doesnt really count. i meant they were both making their official ufc debuts

They are still fighting under their TUF contracts. The Tuf contracts have gotten progessions larger. Florian was on
TUF 1 and Cummo was in season 2.

Plus, Cumo actually went to the finals. Florian did not. Right? They didn’t do two weight classes in TUF 1 did they?

Anyway, I thought Cumo could have beat Joe Stevenson if he had fought a smarter fight. I garante you he knows that. Would he beat him again if they fought a rematch? Probably not…. But the point is Luke IS a good fighter.

Florian lost to Diego Sanchez in TUF 1 finale

please God, kill Nate Diaz and Kenny Florian

i would love to see luke cummo vs marcus davis. they are both very exciting and are at about the same point in their career’s. personally i like cummo in this matchup.

compare it to what boxers are making MMA fighters are dirt cheaps!!! raise the pay!! DANA and UFC are making millions!!

My God! These guys need a raise! Im sure there is a lawyer out there reading this. They need someone to get these fighters what they deserve. MMA is the fastest growing sport in the world. UFC is just screwing em..

some of them are tiny, yes. but you can tell they’re getting better…look at cole miller and grey maynard. Those guys were making their ufc debuts and they got 16,000 to win, say for example cole fights 4 times this yr and wins them all (maybe not likely but it could happen) multiply 16,000 by 4 and you get 64,000. Add any bonus money he makes on to that and thats a pretty decent living.

That’s not a good living. Sure, $60k isn’t bad if you’re sitting behind a desk all day with medical benefits and physical longevity, but if you’re earning the same money by bashing your body and brain, that kind of money is ludicrous. You’re living year to year, if not month to month. What kind of job is that, with this kind of risk? I have no idea whether the UFC covers medical expenses of fighters, but can you imagine how much PPO coverage for a professional MMA fighter over the age of 30 would be? I would imagine that it would be comparable to the rate for a 65 individual, which I believe is like $800 per month. In four months that’s $3,200. Garcia netted about $3k for this fight. Do the math.

One big surgery — even with insurance — could easily cost you $15-20k out of pocket. I personally know of someone whose surgery cost him $100K (yes, $100,000.00) AFTER INSURANCE. So let’s take Din Thomas for example. He earned $16k for his fight. After taxes let’s assume he nets about $10k, depending on his write-offs. If knee surgery costs him $5k or more out of pocket, then his winning is shit. I have no idea whether the IRS lets professional fighters call medical expenses business related expenses, but I hope they do.

What, are top tier professional UFC fighters supposed to live with their parents? After they’ve just fought in front of 1.5M people?! Do you think you could live independently off of Garcia’s UFC pay?

At the end of the day, this money fucking sucks. I mean, Jesus, the main event should at least be paying a six-figure sum to the winner out of fucking respect. Call these free shows a loss or break even. They’re great for promoting the PPV’s, where all the big money is anyway. I’ve heard that sponsors mostly offer free gear or pay for some of fighters’ expenses, which isn’t real money to me. It looks good to have the name on your shorts, but what does it mean when you have to take your wife or gf on vacation, or buy your kid some back-to-school clothes?

I feel sorry for these guys. Sure, there are Liddells and Ortiz’ out there, but 99% of these fighters are living hand to mouth. That’s sad, when you see Dana White driving around in Lamborghinis and flying around in private jets. Doesn’t seem right to me.

I think the UFC WW and LHW champions (their two most popular divisions) should be earning EIGHT-figure purses, or at least eight-figure incomes if they fight and win twice in one year. In this market I think that’s what they deserve. When Georges St. Pierre fights, he brings PPV money with him. He brings in Canada, for Christ’s sake! Chuck made millions per fight, but he was doing the low seven-figures. With his draw, he should have made no less than $5-10M per fight from the UFC alone. If De La Hoya can earn over $50M for losing in a withering sport, then Liddell can earn $10M.

People are not buying PPV shows just to watch that stupid gladiator in the beginning and get hard watching Arianny in a bikini, they’re buying them for the fights (ie., the fighters). So that means the top UFC brass are making their millions off of these fighters’ blood and pain. Fuck that. That’s just wrong.

Cummo is by far not the best fighter on that card though, which means he should not have made the most money! they should make thier pay based on thier skill set and ability to finish!

dailymotion doesn’t have the alves/hironaka fight or the cole miller/leonard garcia fight though…but you can see cummo against the weird guy, gray maynard/joe veres and hazelett/goulet…

if you apply yourself you can find all the fights. it seems like everytime I leave links on these blogs the fights get taken off. just spent a few minutes on google and you’ll find what you want.

I GESS I WILL TAKE YOU WORD MANIA!!! THES FIGHTER ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF!!! UFC IS MAKING SO MUCH OF THE FIGHTERS>>>THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WERE TITO IS COMING FROM SAYING NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO FIGH A FRIEND….

Hold up! Fighters are underpaid but Tito isnt one of them. He is a terrible mixed martial artists. He takes u down and tried topund on you from inside his opponents guard. He doesnt even try to pass guard, thats pathetic. That crap might work against Shamrock, but what will happen if he fights a tough fighter with a strong ju jitsu guard (like shogun). He will gret his arm riipped off! All it takes is good wrestleing (to keep tito from taking you down) or a strong guard (ju jitsu) to beat tito. TITO is without a doubt the most overpaid fighter in mma. For as much of a puss (im using Dana white language) as Tito is and for how much he is overpaid, he should fight is friends, his brother and his mother.

Fighters are grossly underpaid, however Tito is not one of them!!!!!!!!1

Are u kidding? Im gonna have to watch that fight. Sounds entertaining.

By the way Luke is a better fighter then he gets credit for, he is only 26 or 27 years old, the guy has a great work ethic, he has a great diet (although the urine therapy is a little extreme), he is an intelligent dude, with crisp Muy Tai, and always improving ju jitsu. Cummo is like Florian, a talented Nerd, with a warrior spirit. You gotta respect that!

Why hasnt the UFC 75 (london) fighters salaries made public? If anyone has any info reguarding the fighter salaries for UFC 75 Rampage vs. Hendo please let me know.

I just watched Alves vs. Hironaka ~ man what a total domination! i don’t know much about Hironaka, if he’s a gamer or not, but Thiago tore him a new ass! completely dominating performance by Alves! Hironaka looks to have a solid chin though, he got nailed by so many shots square in the jaw, I think the numerous leg kicks that he ate definately slowed him down!

Props to Alves!!

I REALLY want to see more of this Dustin Hazelett kid. He is extemely talented, especially for being 21. He said he has been training strictly BJJ for years, I wonder how many – he’s not very old.

Add any bonus money he makes on to that and thats a pretty decent living.

yes but out of that 64k are many expenses and also fed tax thats a crappy amount of pay cause he maybe keeps 2k a month probably less, my bet is diaz brothers still live with mom and dad.

Your a natural. Keep up the hard work. best luck to your futurte. Much Respect, O’FLahertys Pub
