Wow
written by Wandy, October 07, 2008

I am amazed at how little good fighters are getting paid...Honestly $750 to Curry without the win bonus for fighting for a nationally broadcasted event? And Kimbo gets $500,000 for getting his butt whopped?

it's sickening when you know Mike Tyson made $400,000,000 off the holyfield fight. Fighters in these Big venue's make %1 of the income of the venue, And thats all together. Something has to be done.

I am surprised to how little Jake Shields was paid, He is the best fighter Elite has and is a champ, kimbo gets 10X more? Seems elite does not take the real fighters very serious.

Business is Business
written by Papermanfla, October 11, 2008

Ya'll have to understand that business is unfortunately business. The fighters that deserve the money are not always going to get it. EliteXC knows that people was watching to see Kimbo Slice and nobody else so they paid him accordingly. The only real mainstream attraction/household name was Kimbo Slice and maybe Gina Carano but other than that nobody knows about Shields, Daley, Ninja Rua, A.A. except for people who really follow the sport and are involved in it. Kimbo Slice lost in a few seconds but atleast he had his business right. Maybe next time they well have a better Main Event with better fighters.
