$200,000 for Nogueira in his debut... that is madness, the only person that got more was Tito and he has been around for a long time.

Sean Sherk ($28,000) ?????

That little for a champion?

Wow.

Yeah I agree that is really horrible, all these stories that you hear of him leaving MMA only to come back, you would think that they would pay him a hell of a lot more than that even without the belt, with the belt he should be getting like $100,000 or somewhere in that region, even $90,000 like Silva is getting would probably be an adequate amount. This only furthers the debate of this is the only thing that is holding MMA behind Boxing by a barrier, which is the money, any boxer would get a truck load more than that, once MMA starts rolling the cash out I think it will be recognized as the better sport over Boxing.

well you get about 50,000$ plus a fight when your champ its not that bad lol

Also lol at Nog not getting more then CroCop

Dmac · 07-09-2007, 06:43 PM

Well Nog isn't CroCop, lets face it, as big a name as he is, he no where near as well know as CroCop, plus CrCop is an ass and probably held out for more money.

wow...tito gets over 13 times what Rashad gets for a draw...thats hilarious. he's lucky its not like Pride where you lose 10% for a penalty.

Dmac · 07-11-2007, 11:08 AM

13 times eh? Did you work that out or something lol.

tapout189 · 07-11-2007, 11:21 AM

lol...yep...busted. Had the calculator up cuz i was working on my online class while i was on here

Oh right, okay, well Rashad will probably be paid more for the rematch, that's what I'm guessing.

tapout189 · 07-11-2007, 12:46 PM

yeah, especially after seeing the difference between the two. How do you think the rematch will go?
