Agree especially for someone who has been there for a while and is consistently exciting.

Yup. Exciting and finishes fights. Nunes fought some of the best in the ufc and wasn't finished and Pitbull did it with ease

Patricio Pitbull: $20,000 (includes $10,000 win bonus)
Pitbull has 9 fights with Bellator and is only making 10 grand to fight... People want to b---- about fighter pay, and how Bellator will even things out.. WTF not with these numbers. These numbers are bulls---... Bellator is the number two org for MMA my ***. There is no number two, these are the same numbers LFC and MFC put up. Hell I bet Alvey made more for his win then Pitbull did.
Hate to sound more and more like I don't like Bellator, I really do like watching the fights... But, as an org they are looking worse and worse. Wonder how much the PPV will cost just in production...Why do a PPV? Why not pass some cash down to the fighters that helped build the name like Pitbull. No wonder Askren is holding out.

I bet it is close to a million just with Chandler v Alverez, Tito v Rampage, and Queen Mo.

And UFC fighter salaries are what outrages people? Bellator is backed by Viacom. If the UFC can afford the salaries they pay their best fighters so can Bellator.

Bellator needs to step it up, but on the other hand these payouts aren't all that dissimilar to the early days of UFC on spike. (as far as the undercard)

I'd guess all the WSOF's have had higher payouts than a typical Bellator card. At least the fighters can get whatever obscure sponsor they want(including random porn stars). Kinda sucks for the fighters on the televised card, but if you are a dark/internet bout, can't really feel bad for you. Hopefully with the new TV deal(Brazil?) some money can trickle down to the fighters.

It doesn't look like Viacom is overpaying their fighters. Alvarez/Rampage/Ortiz will probaly be the Highest Paid Bellator fighters.

Chandler as well, while contract numbers have not been released, word is that it is bigger then Alvarez which if I remember right was around $250,000 per fight.
