Is MMA good pay?

What i posted was for that event, so per fight. What they get can depend on the ppv buy, or atleast the bonuses do. As stated above they have to pay some fees and taxes from this, but they make money from spondorship too, so that might help cover that.

Then there is the 4/5 50k bonuses for the best fight, knockout etc.

Take into acount fighter might have anywhere from 3-6 fights a year and some of them might not be doing to badly.

No doubt they are a mile behind boxing, however i'm sure salaries will continue to rise as the sport becomes more and more mainstream/popular.

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

Medical insurance is covered by the organization.

Ever think they will make as much as boxers?

Not as long as the organizations (UFC, IFL, Elite, etc) get fighters under exclusive multi-fight contracts.

Back in the day Hollywood studios would sign actors and actresses to exclusive multi-movie contracts. Even after adjusting for inflation, what they made back then was nothing compared to what they make now.
