12еr Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I'm surprised how much money Weidman is making already. He's dwarfing Rousey's pay, and this doesn't include his FOTN bonus or PPV points or sponsorships. Assuming this fight did decent numbers, he probably made a cool million dollars. Chris Weidman: $450,000 (includes $225,000 win bonus) def. Lyoto Machida: $200,000 Ronda Rousey: $120,000 (includes $60,000 win bonus) def. Alexis Davis: $24,000 Uriah Hall: $20,000 (includes $10,000 win bonus) def. Thiago “Marreta” Santos: $10,000 Russell Doane: $18,000 (includes $9,000 win bonus) def. Marcus Brimage: $10,000 Urijah Faber: $120,000 (includes $60,000 win bonus) def. Alex Caceres: $19,000 Kenny Robertson: $28,000 (includes $14,000 win bonus) def. Ildemar Alcantara: $16,000 Bruno Santos: $16,000 (includes $8,000 win bonus) def. Chris Camozzi: $23,000 Rob Font: $16,000 (includes $8,000 win bonus) def. George Roop: $20,000 Luke Zachrich: $16,000 (includes $8,000 win bonus) def. Guilherme Vasconcelos: $8,000 Kevin Casey: $16,000 (includes $8,000 win bonus) def. William “Bubba” Bush: $8,000 http://mmajunkie.com/2014/07/ufc-175-salaries-weidman-450000-machida-rousey-faber-top-earners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12еr Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 faber makes champ money without ever being champ He's a star though, he got the loudest crowd reaction at the weigh ins. He gets a lot of hate on this forum, but fans in general seem to love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.N.I.C. Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 that's b/c Weidman took the ultimate gamble by not renegotiating his contract until after the 2nd Silva fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he did after the first Silva fight. Which was ballsy as ****. But he made 200/200 for silva 2, one fight later and his pay is 225/225. He has a good manager.

GoToGuy Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I thought Ronda would get paid better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
