Do MMA fighters get a decent paycheck?

**** all compared to boxers.

Actually MMA fighters usually make more at the start of their careers. Especially once you factor in the win bonuses, which usually double what the fighter makes.

But once their respective careers get going, the boxers easily make more.

[makaveli_uk]

So do you mean at the beginning of a pro career? because amateur boxers dont get paid at all I dont think.

[makaveli_uk]

What about those guys like Rampage and Chick Lidell..They'll be loaded wont they? Surely they get more money than most boxers.

[WiganScott]

Should give you an idea

[makaveli_uk]

Is that how much they get per FIGHT? Or per YEAR?

Must be per fight?

[1bad65]

Amateurs do not get paid at all in MMA and boxing.

Top-level guys like Liddell and Rampage do not make near what a top-level boxer makes. It's not uncommon for undercard boxers to make more than what Main Event MMA guys make.

What WiganScott posted is per fight.

What WiganScott posted is per fight.

keep in mind, they're probably walking away with less than half of that after taxes, management, and medical.
