I guess there is no money to be made in the UFC then? That explains why gyms are getting filled with people getting into MMA

Sorry I get tired of fans complaining about pay for fighters, the fighters should be the ones complaining if they arn't making enough.

I think if they get paid too much like boxing, they could go into a fight lose and still get 12 million, there isn't as much motivation to win when you are making that much, but I don't know.12 mil, is a lot to me.
