carwin 40k.
oh my gosh, lol.
i know thats unfair as hell
Its not unfare, Carwin isn't as high of a rank as Lesnar. If Carwin would of won he would of got way more cash, you don't get high payrolls for losing.
Is the money in brackets (win bonus) extra money to be added on top of his payout, or is that already included in the first stated payout for the fighter?
example: chris leben gets $86,000 to show up and fight and if he wins he gets ($43,000 win bonus)....if he lost he would just get the 86k
You get X to show up. If you win, you get 2X. So a win soubles your pay.
Carwin Made 40k. Brock made 400 + 400 + 75 + ppv, sponsor n dvd %
the win bonus is included in the amount. Leben was slated to get $43,000 and double if he won. It was said before he fought. I am curious about the fight of the night bonus though. that is not included in the total but do they share the $75,00 or each get that. Bottom line is, Leben has had a pretty good month with the two fights and extras.
Goran Reljic: $5,000 WOW after tax and training expenses he must owe money, hards times at the the lower level
he gets sponsorships and locker room bonuses as well, 5000 is just the figure that is released
i bet leben bought some cool shit after this fight he got 159 000 plus sponsors and shit he must be happy
