Mo money, mo problems.
According to a report from ESPN, Fedor Emelianenko is set to haul in $1.5 million for his fight against Dan Henderson, who will take home a cool $800,000. The bout is set to air live on Showtime at the upcoming July 30 Strikeforce event emanating from the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.

thats just hate. Fedor is the god. you cant ask a fuvking god to fight for chump change!!!
1.5 million IMO is far for his services coming off of 2 losses!
Cant wait to see this fight. 2 fucking animals throwing wild BOMBS, until Fedor gets tired, takes Hendo down and sinks in the Hendo Kryptonite..aka the ARM BAR!!!
Team quest boyz got kryptinite:
Chael has nightmares of triangle chokes
most of hendos memorable losses are due to brazilian armbars
Linland chin always fails him as of late
and Couture….well, he just sucks and has that old age gimick going for him. lol

You think he deserves twice as much as Lesnar or 8 times what BJ Penn gets?
He’s an organization killer and his salary is the reason for it.

Who should pay for it?
Tickets and PPV’s are already too much. Shirt prices could go up for all I care, but I don’t want to pay more to see events.
ManiaMoney pool starts May 28th. Don't be left out.
lesnar and BJ make more then 1.5 per fight. they get pv percentages, something Fedor doesnt get...
so yes Fedor deserves 1.5…i dont care how many buts you put in the seats, the best fighter in the history of the sport, deserves to be paid at least 1.5mil. if he doesnt bring in enough revenue, then thats the fucking promotors problem not Fedor….if the right marketing is behind him, you know how much revenue fedor could bring in……the ufc would seriously market him as jesus christ reincarnated….oyu think he wouldnt have been a huge draw in the ufc?
if he hasnt put enough buts in seats, take a look at the marketing behind his fights, and you will see a direct correlation!!!
let's hope showtime can get a hand on the pride footage now
they can build something serious if they do so, imagine the promo for that: fedor dropping motherfuckers with punches or securing the armbars whilst his record is shown on screen, then a quick cut to shots of feijao, sobral, shields, rampage & wanderlei all falling to the floor rocked or ko’d while his multiple accomplishments are shown. Set that to some epic music and you’ve got one hell of a promo
guys fedor is washed up now

they should show shots of him getting subbed and beat the fuck up.

all the guys you listed in your long sig have lost fights before, did you know?
should they show shots of rampage being beaten to unconsiousness by wanderlei as a way of promoting him too? no, the ufc doesn’t roll that guy, in fact they only show the third fight against wanderlei and they cut the cheap shots he took.
i get that it was an emotional thing and i do like rampage but they way you refer to fedor is completely uncalled for. He’s a fighter who has never disrespected an opponent, not even tim sylvia. Wrap your mind around that and then come talk shit about the man.
all the fighters you list have lost a fight or two on any given time, that’s just the way it is
Butts you put in seat = money

do you think mma is exclusive to usa? has it ever crossed your mind that fedor is known by the asian market? by the european market?
typical american thinking that if doesn’t happen in “america” (usa for the rest of the world) then it didn’t happen at all. For all we know, m-1 has already sold the event to the rest of the world, bringing in their share of money.
can you prove otherwise? talk shit all you want if you come with facts about the ratings fedor brings world wide, otherwise just stop being dumb
Good luck
In the few things I’ve seen from this guy, he’s either the worlds worst troll, or he’s just the latest of the MMA fans that only knows what the UFC tells them to know.
Either way, he can be safely ignored lol

last comment in this thread 'cause it's getting boring having to try and make sense
bro those markets dont buy or watch anything
they do watch and while they might not be buying, they definitely buy whatever is advertised during the breaks. Tv networks buy programming that might fancy you in hopes of you tuning in and turning out good ratings. Once those ratings are known, they can charge a hefty ammount for the commercials aired.
did you watch the original iron chef at any point in your life? pretty much the same scenario. Foreign content might catch your eye and the network will sell shit to you whilst they have your attention having paid a certain sum to the original content provider.
no

you think lesnar "only" gets 400k?
by the time the ppv buys are counted, he must be getting about 3 or 4 millions per bout
yeah people are so fucking stupid...bj and brock make more money then fedor easily...add to the fact that they are sponsored fighters
i might be wrong but i dont see fedor wearing too many sponsors on his clothes…all i see him wearing are fedor t shirts and m1 logos…
fedor makes 1.5 mil and he doesnt even fight on ppv….now thats a big money star right there!
brock averages 5 mill per fight
Highest paid athlete in UFC. It was on Mania not long ago.
And as for “how do we pay fighters more? Tickets and ppv’s are already too expensive?”
Easy. Pay them off the income from what UFC is making. Prices don’t need to go up. UFC can just profit 45 mill an event instead of 50 mill or whatever. Think 129 did 60+mill in revenue.

you sir ar an idiot! NO THEY WERENT over rated! a fighter isnt at the same level during an entire ten year career. their are peaks a and valleys throughout a career of any fighter. hendo and the god are now in a state of decline, doesnt mean they werent .

but at least it’s going to put fedor back on the right track, so there’s that.
it does make a bit nervous, since fedor is on a bad streak and hendo’s chin still hasn’t been cracked. I thought feijao would get the task done but alas he got ktfo rather quick.
strikeforce’s looking solid for the next few months
fedor doesnt deserve a fight against Hendo coming off of
2 losses and fights a guy who just won the LHW title off of 2 wins….

Fedor=Money
Everytime Fedor hasf ought he has the top rating of any strikeforce fighter. His presence alone made Rogers a viable main eventer. He made Affliction not lose everything. This is not on pay per viuew so i am sure he is getting paid 1.5m and not a cent more even if its a sell out.
Dan getting 800,000 is also crazy but they are prolly giving no bonuses,no buyrate percentage (its on tv) and no sponsor dollars overall.

NO
He’s not a draw. Affliction did 300 thousand buys all together for two events that he headlined. He killed Affliction with his outrageous salary demands and he just did the same thing to SF. His salary is 1.5 for the fight, but lets not forget SF will also be paying Finkeldink half the gross. Since M1 will be co-producing Fedor’s fight, they get half the scratch.

Except that this paycheck is more than any of the gates from his SF fights. SF does not get paid based on ratings, they get a flat fee for television and need to make money off of ticket sales. Fedor/Werdum and Silva/Fedor each did just over one million dollars.
And your statement is not true. Fedor/Silva, part of the GP, did a record number, but Fedor/Werdum did not and were middle of the road.
Regarding Dan Henderon: Sponsorship money does not come from the promoter, Dan will get plenty from his regular sponsors.
Bottom line is that companies need to stay within a budget to survive. Paying out more than you bring in will kill you. It is not a matter of whether or not these guys are “worth it” but a matter of whether or not the pay makes sense.
We can complain about the UFC’s system of ppv percentages and backstage bonuses, but that ensures they don’t pay more than they take in. Six years ago, they lost money on almost every show.
I can’t help but wonder what the powers that be, in SF and Showtime, were thinking when they agreed to these contracts?
I guess nobody learned from Tom and the boys at Affliction.
this is going to be huge money
they may not make as much if they gave less but trust me they’ll even make money on this with all the possible marketing tools UFC has at it’s disposal.

he’s not a bad guy for smoking, he’s just getting even dumber and whiner with each fatty and if there’s one thing diaz should try to look out for is neurons. He gets tagged too much and he’ll be brain damage (yes, even more so) in a matter of 5 years or so.
And what has that got to do with fedor?
i don’t get why people love him so much? is it the pot? ‘cause he’s got some talent, it would be stupid denying it but he’s far from being on fitch’s, gsp’s, penn’s, rory’s, kos’ or even rumble’s level. He hasn’t faced a wrestler in ages and there’s a reason for that.
so yeah, keep on smoking buddy
1.5m for the Russian Mafioso taking advantage of people.
Fuck Fedor for life. Fuck his management. M-1 has ruined several organizations. I don’t understand how you can justify giving this man 1.5 million when:
A. HE ISN’T IN THE FUCKING UFC.
B. He hasn’t done ANYTHING in years.
C. Coming off 2 losses where he was dominated in glorious fashion in both.
D. M-1 is an awful organization who will never get a dime of my cash.
E. All the top UFC Heavyweights would destroy him (Brock, Shane, Cain, Junior)
F. The top Strikeforce Heavyweights would destroy him.
G. HENDO is going to destroy him.
Fuck fedor. Fuck all his nuthugging fans too. He ruined his legacy, Brock Lesnar will almost definitely live on with more respect.
sounds like you need to vent
Brock Lesnar will almost definitely live on with more respect.
for being rushed into a title shot? then barely surviving against carwin and then getting finished while gassed out against cain in under a round? yeah, right fucking on!
i don’t get the hate for fedor nor his fans, most of us don’t shit on other hws but whatever dude, keep drinking the kool-aid.
A. HE ISN’T IN THE FUCKING UFC.I don’t understand why is that even an issue, there’s a reason why ufc bought’em out, perceived competition! If strikeforce didn’t have talent or if they didn’t put on a show zuffa wouldn’t even bother, see bellator for proof. Do you even can understand that or will you go on again about how fedor sucks?
lol.
The UFC didn’t buy out Fedor. They bought out Strikeforce which contained several of the top 10 heavyweights around the world and a slew of great fighters.
Fortunately, Dana does not give a shit about Fedor. I hate Fedor because you guys built him up to be this unstoppable god with wins over greats such as Mark Hunt, Matt Lindland, Mark Coleman, Hong Man Choi, Tim Sylvia, and Brett Rogers. Oh, let’s not forget his wins over Semmy Schilt or Renato Sobral either!!
M-1 is a con. That’s why I hate Fedor. You’re the one obviously drinking the kool-aid because you actually think he’s good. Brock Lesnar has fought more top 10 heavyweights than Fedor will ever see for the rest of his career. Brock will continue fighting top competition while Fedor fights cans and 40 year olds (no disrespect to Hendo but c’mon this fight is stupid.) Who should we match the great KING FEDOR up with next?

that’s why he takes on twitter to talk about fedor whenever he fights or at press conferences when he used to shit on strikeforce or why he was “obsessed” with signing fedor not 18 months ago

make up your mind
rock Lesnar has fought more top 10 heavyweights than Fedor will ever see for the rest of his career. Brock will continue fighting top competition while Fedor fights cans and 40 year olds
i didn’t know randy was a top 10 at the time of their fight, let alone under 40. I also didn’t know mir was a top 10 as was herring.
there’s no doubt fedor is losing a step or too but he can beat the same fighters has beat and probably lose to the same fighter brock lost recently. If someone is going to surpass fedor is not brok, it’s cain and maybe, just maybe jds depending on how he does against wrestlers
I'm not going to nitpick with you.
I stated my reasons why I hate Fedor. Now you can either accept it and fuck off or you can flame me and say how stupid my opinions are. People can have more than one reason to hate on somebody, do I really have to choose between my two reasons of disliking fedor? lol.
And yes, obviously point out Brock’s earlier fights. Let’s not forget that he took on Shane and Cain and would have had Dos Santos if not for his disease. I think the amount of top 10 fighters Fedor has fought in his entire career equals out to maybe Big Nog and Antonio Silva. So yeah, Brock has 7 fights, Fedor has dozens but I still say Brock has fought the steeper competition.
Unless you consider Mark Hunt a top 10.

brock's earlier fights?
‘cause he has had many? he has 7 fights, lost 2 of them… in fact, fedor almost, ALMOST has the same number of loses in a bigger number of fights. And if you count legit losses, they’re tied.
he took on shane and almost lost if it wasn’t for shane’s complete lack of pace, cain completely broke him and too bad you didn’t see dos santos take a crack at it.
way to forget werdum, a fighter who actualy beat big foot silva (as per your validation of fighters) and finally, steeper? well, fedor fought herring too and actually finished him (a younger version of him, even!). Mir is a has been (which according to you, don’t count out in fedor’s record) and randy wasn’t really impressed with brock’s takedowns. Furthermore, lesnar won and those fights being the larger frame in each and everyone, fedor won his fights being the smaller man with exception of lindland.
again, i’m not saying brock sucks ‘cause i do like the guy and tuf gives a great glimpse into his rather intellectual persona and that’s good for the guy. I just don’t understand why people would take the time to discredit a fighter’s record… other than anderson silva’s and don’t get me started on that piece of shit
your a smart fedor protector
john g is ruining it for you tho

Take away anybody ranked clsoe to Mir right now and Fedor is 0-2. A padded record doesn’t prove shit vhw. Don’t get me wrong Fedor may be the greatest HW of his time but with more evolved, better athletes and not to mention bigger HW’s Fedor may still be the best of the past fighters like NOG and CC but that doesn’t say much now days. Like Hughes, Gracie, Chuck and others that were once the best that does not prove anything now.

That is monumentally stupid logic. Jesus Christ.
This whole “New-Gen” Heavyweights thing is a farce. Who has appeared to make claims that the Prime guys of the old couldn’t hold a handle to them? Velasquez beat Lesnar (who runs away from punches), and a zombie Nog. Junior Dos Santos only really good win is Werdum- the rest are so so to say the least (and in some cases awfull).
What the hell do rankings today count for? What Matters is the ranking of the time he beat them.

The 1.5 doesn't even include the money M1 will receive.
They’ll take half the gate and half the sponsorship money from SF as well.
Fedor is an organization killer.
ManiaMoney pool starts May 28th. Don't be left out.
I see you have intimate knowledge of the deal, and m-1 and Fedor’s arrangments. Please share the data. Thanks!

That is bananas
I will fight Anderson Silva, Fedor and Jon Jones at the same time in a steel cage with no tap outs for $800,000. Dan Henderson is not that big of a draw. This event will lose money! You know this is Scott Clocker’s doing. Hopefully they enjoy this payday, it will be their last like it.
Very well could Creatorss
But then again maybe showtime is paying more than we know?
