When he said 350 thousand it is at that point when you realize this dude is not listening to a damn word you are saying

[@Wanker527]

I was like “wtf 🤦🏻‍♂️”

My Exact thought

[@maverick33guy95]

I came here for that comment..wtf that dude was not paying attention

[@stonermane621]

the problem is that he's a gringo. He only knows privilege. And as Chito said when you're a kid from Ecuador... gringos doesn't know how fucking hard it is to live in latin america. Here there's only violence, corruption and precariousness and a fat gringo with a podcast doesn't have the most remote idea what regular people go through on places like this.

Dude. We all knew he meant 350$. You're sitting in a room with him and didnt know. Should probably think about your career interviewing people.

[@zachinthehat1707]

He definitely knew, but part of interviewing people like this is sometimes playing dumb to allow the other person to elaborate further. It makes a bigger impact when he reiterates it was only $350 rather than saying “wow 350 that’s nothing durr”

[@phaded4200]

The ufc can pay it’s debuting guys at least 20k/20k and not feel any difference except those guys can have more professional training camps and would get better

[@officialmoondancer]

Sounds like you got it all figured out. 30 years in business, pioneering the sport, UFC "obviously" doesn't know wtf they're doing. So, why don't you start your own promotion, get you you several million dollars worth of funding and pay guys way more money than they bring into the company.

[@justinx9892]

@@officialmoondancerbro stfu they keep making record profits every year, call themselves the “premier” league and their revenues have grown exponentially since the beginning but pay to the fighters has stayed the same. Even the NCAA which doesn’t even pay players has a higher % split with the athletes. They even took sponsorships away from fighters.

[@Droga24.7]

The way he was looking at the dude after he said "350 thousand" was like he started realizing his priviliged ass don't know nothing about poverty and hard times. At that point, he stopped looking at him as an equal. You can see it in his eyes.

[@cosmic_JAV]

Did no onenelese think the line "I felt cool in town" was awesome. Gonna have to use that

[@felixf4378]

Personally, I think 8K to show and 8K to win is bs. If you dont win you still go home with all the damage but only 8K. Dana takes advantage of these boys that never had money and never understood money. If you factor all the damage they are doing to their body, youre getting ripped off. Youre body is priceless. I used to work in heavy, hard labor jobs the money was good but then i realized thag health is priceless specially as you age.

[@stumpnugz6530]

Could be wrong, but in my opinion ufc is bigger than maybe even hockey at this point worldwide, and theres not one player in the NHL skating for 8k….

[@isaislacenbarbosa3781]

That’s a lot of money period 16k that you didn’t have before

[@montanafishingadventures]

Tell me you’re not listening without telling me you’re not listening 😂

[@bebop4874]

“You sir don’t know how to listen” Elon Musk probably

[@DonMIFC]

Most regional promotions are barely profitable which is why nobody is really mad theyre paying fighteers $100-$1k to fight. On the other end, UFC is clearly making HUGE profits. So many sponsors and the ESPN deal sent their profits through the roof. Definitely the UFC had to use some of those profits to cover prior debts (they were bleeding money as well back in the 90s and 00s and huge debts), but its 2023 now, theyve been successful for a while. Its clear UFC spends all their profits sharing with shareholders and improving their brand. When they should be improving fighter pay. I think 10k/10k is the lowest contract right now but its even less for the UFC shows (TUF, DWCS, etc). I think theyre getting like 5k/5k. Anyways, the only solution is to support other organisations. Dont only watch UFC. Watch Bellator, watch ONE, watch PFL, watch RIZIN, watch KSW, etc. They all have some the best fighters in the world. A UFC monopoly means fighters will never get paid fairly 👎

[@erikaw7767]

yea but now he makes money because he won. you eat what you kill.. a winning MMA fighter will make WAY more than your average joe.. not really caring about this fighter pay shit, because the upside is huge, its a gamble.

[@CapUnlimited]

This is not true

[@originalityisdead.9513]

"350 thousand" How the fk did he come up with that figure when the man said 16k was a lot of money.

[@henzoko5946]

This year has probably been the worst for PPV sales.

[@JG-dt2ub]

He doesn't know his worth 8k is minimal when your in the number 1 organization making billions

[@Estroogen]

You’re such a casual you didn’t even listen to what he said. Jesus Christ.

[@washingbasket9702]

Nobody knew who he was when he made his debut, how much revenue do you think chito alone added to the card on his debut?

[@MycoMatty]

8k with the chance to make 16k. That's not bad for an unknown fighters.

[@justchill10]

immigrant mentallity. very common even in standard tech industries

[@Theblackmarkettv.]

Jesus 8k is just ridiculously low wtf lol

[@MikeKollin]

Most people don't know this, you can google / search this, but the UFC actually pays their fighters Better than PRofessional Boxers!! Look it up! Boxers in the USA don't make Squat when it comes to being a new fighter or the average Pay!

[@TYLERORTIZ2021]

Well it’s the best mma organization in the world you should be paid much more actually. Out of 7 billion people that is the best organization we have to offer. Tbh that’s an insulting low amount of money

He’s sounds great full to me

[@xanderrednax5841]

chito: "yeah, possibly making $16,000 in the ufc is alot of money given the fact my last fight in my country was 350~ interviewer: "350,000$?" everyone ever: 🤦

How disrespectful to say 350,000 dollars I would have been done with this pod cast or whatever it was right then. It’s like the dude thinks it’s a big joke.

[@GgCashh451]

The problem people have with UFC pay isn’t that it’s not good money it’s that what they can pay you (and be more than stable) versus what they decide to pay You is drastically lower. I mean the fact that the maximum payout for a debut has only gone up 4000 since Chito made his debut is crazy.

[@tobygoodenough8743]

I would go do that right now for the next year dude

[@rickflose]

Dana white has them in a trance state 😂

8k to show alone is good money and if you win icing on the cake ppl are greedy asf that 16k will go a long way

Cheeto is a bad mofo...gonna be champ

[@mikegold3130]

The ufc pay is always interesting to me. Like a decent guy might make let’s say 20k and 20k, so if he fights 4 times a year, and we can even say he lost once so it’s more realistic, that’s still 140k a year, not including any bonuses he may have gotten for performance of the night, so we factor that in, and the cost of coaching, food, taxes, and just day to day living, he’s probably sitting on at least 80k a year, and that’s if you’re an active, decent fighter, who wins 3/4 fights. It’s when guys make 20 and 20 but only fight twice a year, and they lose one of those fights, and they have a lackluster decision so no bonuses, and they spend there money on stupid shit. That’s when guys complain about fighter pay, but if you’re an average fighter, who takes care of your body, and is smart, you should still make a killer living without even cracking the top 10.

[@scottstone1475]

No sir. Your numbers are easy to look at but it's not how it is. Coaching gym etc cost a mint plus rent car. Food If he made 140G he's coming out with prob. 50 g a year. That's not enough to get your face ,legs, etc smashed.

[@mikegold3130]

@@scottstone1475 you’re not taking into consideration that every UFC fighter is allowed access at the PI, which is free for them to use for training and recovery, or even strength and condition. And you aren’t taking into consideration that many guys have sponsors, who send them free gear or free food. They might even have a job coaching at a gym part time in between fights, or one of there fights they received a bonus for fight of the night which is 50k itself. Everything is individual based, no ones is the same because it depends on, how good of a fighter you are, how healthy you stay year round, and if you promote yourself outside of fighting. The average guy who isn’t elite level, but shows up consistently, fights whoever, and accepts all the opportunities that come with the title “UFC fighter”, will be able to make a decent living off the sport, and if you’re only making 50k a year you’re either losing all your fights, or spending your money on none sense. I knew a ufc fighter, heavyweight who was 1-5 in the ufc and he still made more than 50k a year before he got cut. So if you’re a guy who fights 4 times a year, and you win most of your fights, you won’t be making only 50k a year that’s just unrealistic.

[@TN_vigilance]

The only guys that don’t make millions don’t fight on the main card. Guys that fight on the main card make millions a year. Which is how it should he if nobody’s paying to see you fight you don’t need to make what the guys on the main card do. Their pay is fair. Once they get to the main card start racking up belts or title defenses then they start clearing 500k 750k and eventually a few million per fight. People that bc they’re professional fighters they’re entitled to millions immediately. Completely forgetting the face the UFC is a business. Far from any NFL or NBA or whatever

[@DavidGarcia-oi5nt]

So far out to lunch on this, there are many guys sayinf they are barely surviving even known names thst have positive records. Taxes 30%, trainer/gym 20% manager 10-15% so out of that 140k what are you left with? Also not all fighters get to use the PI training center because not everyone is in vegas.
