American UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal complained about the low fees in the promotion
American fighter of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Jorge Masvidal complained about the low fees in the promotion. His words are quoted by MMA Junkie.
Masvidal noted Dana White’s effective management, but said that fighters should be paid more than they are currently receiving. “This is a very difficult job. You don’t have to be in the top 10 of the division and work as a cashier at Walmart. If you are in the top 15, then you must be sure that your earnings will cover all the bills, ”added the American.
Masvidal, 38, has 35 wins and 17 losses in his career. He was a contender for the UFC welterweight belt.
On May 13, Russian fighter Ikram Aliskerov spoke about the fee for his debut fight in the UFC. He turned out to be stronger than the American Phil Howes and received 20 thousand dollars for the fight: ten thousand for the exit and ten thousand for the victory. “30 percent were kept from there, 20 percent – to the manager and the hall. Almost half are gone. The amount is small, you can take it with you [в Россию] bring cash,” he said.
