We’re all in favor of fighters getting more money to put their health and safety on the line for our entertainment. When you fight a tough career and leave it all in the Octagon, you should be able to ride off into the sunset without ever having to worry about money.
Having said that, Affliction paid way too much to ever be sustainable, so there’s got to be some kind of middle-ground out there.
- For example. Matt Lindland was paid 300k to beat up Fabio Nascimento (Who doesn’t have a wikipedia page, so don’t bother looking) and 300k to get KO’d by Vitor in the first round.
- Tim Sylvia earned $22,222 per second in his fight with Fedor.
