@SimpsonMbewe@MMAJunkie@MikeBohn They don’t. They tried to get him to sign a new 4 year contract and then tried to get him to come back last year/ this year.
@Akaashiqbal@vicdamonesports Even in Volks prime for the most part he wasn't that active. He fought once in 2020, once in 2021, twice in 2022 and then three times in 2023 with that short notice fight against Islam which was probably a big mistake for his health but not for his bank account.
@chrisreider19@natedamaker@vicdamonesports I think people do over estimate Volk and Usman's activity on average they we about 2 times a year. Some aren't even doing that these days the real question is who is to blame for that the fighters, the UFC or a combination of both. I would say it is more the UFC.
@JedKMeshew So if it is Kevin Holland he has 29 fights in the UFC the last time we saw his purse was January of 2025 he got $250k for a loss. 11 million over 29 fights is about $380k per fight on average.
@blingatti@JedKMeshew I doubt it. Even Conor only made 27 million for all his fights in the UFC up to 2017. They definitely won’t be paying Sean on that level.
@JayQuelli@JedKMeshew They absolutely do make less than that a fight. When you sign with the UFC you start on 10k/10k. So if you lose you only get 10k.
@blackqwueen@lthomasnews Oh yes let’s criticise company b who make no money for paying a bit less than company a who makes over a billion a year and has and ebita of about 57% of its revenue.
@aaronmcauley5@ChampRDS Probably around 100 maybe a little more. DWCS has been going for about 8-9 years now and these days almost every winner gets a contract.
