John Makdessi reveals paycheck from UFC 293

I’ve gotten paid travel both one way and two ways on certain jobs as a contractor. Probably depends where you live.

Commuting 90 minutes one way to work every day is not coming out of my pocket unless you raise my wage $20/hr.

Australia is fucked

My guess is that he will get a lot of that tax back.

Like if that was his only income for the year he is not gonna get taxed 45%?

Fear The Fighter. Sponsored a bunch of Fighters and then didn’t pay them. They had some really cool looking T-shirt designs though.

A fighter making this small amount of money doesn’t need to worry about tax deductions. They don’t pay tax

UFC is a shitty, miserly company. The way they treat the fighters, combined with their relentless ad assaults on PPVs (!) is a turnoff, and a big negative on the sports future.

Quit being so cheap!

Piracy must be taking a big bite out of the UFC‘s profits. Not enough people supporting the sport to pay the fighters. Sad to see.
