In the event that they have been twice a yr, they might make $100,000, which is nice.
“Now, in the event that they’re preventing yearly, it’s like $12,500 or twice a yr could be $25,000,” Paul continued. “That’s been my solely ask to Dana to alter and that might solely value the UFC $20 million yearly. So, it looks like, ‘Oh, you made $3-$4 billion why not simply give somewhat bit extra to the fighters? It’s solely $20 million.’ That’s been my greatest factor. Make that change and I’ll shut the f*ck up.”
At present, Dana White has but to answer Paul’s latest request to up fighter pay to $50,000.
