Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Thats BS. How is he draw? This isnt Nick. He has never headlined a PPV. He's only headlined Fight Nights and two Fox card (The Fox Diaz v. Miller fight was one of the lowest rated and attended Fox fights of all time). He's 4-4 in his last 8 fights.

Regarding some of his complaints, he makes 60k/60k which is well above most LWs in the UFC. Only Henderson, Pettis, Sanchez and Melendez make more than him in the division. He's just heated because Gil just hit the jackpot when he signed his new deal. Pettis and Henderson are champs. Sanchez is the only one he could even partially complain about but Sanchez only makes about 10k more than him.

Salary negotiations are about leverage. He couldve done what Gil did a while back in threaten to sign with Bellator. He didnt. He couldve won the belt off Ben and increased his pay. He didnt. He's getting paid what the market at the time he signed the deal set and thats on him.

Agreed. I can't stand the Diaz brothers. I think 60k/60k is plenty for him. Almost too much lol but that's because I am biased and really don't like him. I know some people love him and the whole "bad boy" thing but I think he's obnoxious. I hate when fighters taunt and do that crap in the ring. I hate when anyone does it. I thought it was hilarious that Silva got knocked out while messing around with Weidman. And I seriously hate how he is somehow always in title talks. He lost a unanimous decision to Henderson and then get knocked out by Thomson. Beating a semi washed up Maynard after two consecutive losses definitely doesn't warrant a title shot.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Jake Shields was cut by the UFC today.

I've seen a lot of posts on different forums saying that this wasn't the right move and that it's unfair to Shields. Well with all that being said....... I think cutting Shields was a great move. He was one of the most boring fighters in the UFC, he was far from a fan favorite and his salary was on the higher side. This guy was never going to win a title in the UFC. The whole marijuana thing didn't help his cause either.

I don't think anyone is saying Diaz deserves a title shot. It's good that you admit that you're biased though lol

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Numbers will be skewed since Nate only fought twice in 2013, twice in 2012, four times in 2011 and three in 2010

2013: $95,000
2012: $215,000
2011: $364,000
2010: $192,000

$866,000 in four years after 11 fights

At some point, it would be interesting to see a four-year breakdown of other lightweights. Too lazy right now.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Far as last year:

James Krause had 3 fights
K.J. Noons had 3 fights
TJ Grant had 2 fights
Melvin Guillard had 2 fights
Sam Stout had 3 fights
Edson Barboza had 3 fights
Jim Miller had 2 fights
Anthony Pettis had 2 fights
Jorge Masvidal had 3 fights
Gleison Tibau had 4 fights
Diego Sanchez had 2 fights
Donald Cerrone had 4 fights
Ben Henderson had 2 fights
Gilbert Melendez had 2 fights

Now since 2010 -

Gilbert Melendez - 6 fights, only 2 in the UFC
Ben Henderson - 12 fights, only 9 in the UFC
Donald Cerrone - 15 fights, only 12 in the UFC
Diego Sanchez - 7 fights
Gleison Tibau - 11 fights
Jorge Masvidal - 10 fights, only 3 in the UFC
Anthony Pettis - 9 fights, only 5 in the UFC
Jim Miller - 11 fights
Edson Barboza - 11 fights, only 8 in the UFC
Sam Stout - 10 fights
Melvin Guillard - 13 fights
TJ Grant - 8 fights
K.J. Noons - 10 fights, only 2 in the UFC
James Krause - 12 fights, only 2 in the UFC

So as you can see, Melvin had the most fights with 13 in the UFC, followed by Cowboy and Ben Henderson with 12 in the UFC.

Nate Diaz has had 11 fights since 2010.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Ahem......for 2013, here are the salaries.

http://mma-manifesto.com/ufc-fighter-salary-database/salary-main/2013-year-in-review-ufc-fighter-salaries.html

Cat Zingano - $64,000
Liz Carmouche - $48,000
Uriah Hall - $38,000
Cody McKenzie - $36,000

Ahem.....thats not per fight and includes bonus monety. Also the numbers you quote are Nate made 95k because he only fought twice. The people that made more money than his current 60/60 all either fought more than twice or won bonuses. His new deal kicked after the Maynard fight. He admits himself he makes 60/60 which again is more than most in the UFC LW division.

I get it....you like Nate. I like Nate too but I dont ignore his record. He's 4-4 in his last 8. He was a bit unlucky because he was fighting under his Ultimate Fighter deal for the first 8-10 fights with the UFC (same thing happened to Roy Nelson). When the time came for him to make real money he signed a deal and immediately loss to Hendo and Thomson.

If he wants more money....fight more. He was offered Khabib at his 60/60 rate and he turned it down complaining that he was going to "wait for a title shot". Who does that sound like? Nick. Its a Diaz trait. He could beat Khabib and maybe 1 more and he's getting a title shot. Pettis wants to fight him and its an easy sell.

It makes more sense to include bonus money to get a better context of what everyone's making and if the fighter earned a bonus then so be it. I wanted to know all of Nate's bonus money as well.

Again, can you post the details of Nate's contract? When you say he was offered Khabib at the 60 rate, I'd like to get a link also to see how many fights he has left on his current deal.

Seems like he's made some decent money over the past 4 years but like I said, it'd be nice to compare his numbers to other lightweights over the same span. Bonus money and all, so we can truly see how Nate's money stacks up.

Most of the info is in Nates rant. It is an 8 fight deal with elevators. He got 30/30 for the first 2 fights under the deal. It moves to 60/60 after the first 2. If he wins the belt, he gets another raise. He has 6 fights left.

Bonuses arent a fair barometer because they are completely subjective. When he complains about pay, he only cares about his guarantee. Hes complaining about the money he is guaranteed.

GMSS showed James Krause's payouts in 2013 as way to show how Nate is underpaid. Well Krause fought 2 times in 2013 (not 3) and went 1-1 but he earned 100k in bonuses at 161.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

I never said it was per a fight, I simply posted what everybody made last year. If I really liked the Diaz brothers so much, I would have just posted the top earners in the UFC, then skipped immediately to the Diaz brothers instead posting the entire UFC roster salary in the spoilers.

What was ur point then? No one was asking how much other fighters made. Your original post was in response to me saying that Diaz was one of the highest paid lw fighters in the UFC.

[sportsfan8812]

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

I don't think anyone is saying Diaz deserves a title shot. It's good that you admit that you're biased though lol

Diaz himself is saying how he wants a title shot. I'm not saying you or anyone on this forum is saying he deserves one lol relax. He's not deserving of a title shot at all. They could cut both Diaz's for all I care. Hope they do.

Relax? Lol, you're good man everyone's chill here. Like I said, I'm happy you admitted you're biased because all of your posts in the topic have little to do with the actual topic, more like you're chance to bash two fighters you don't care for.

Everyone knows Diaz doesn't deserve a title shot.

They have all the relevance in the world hahaha. I responded directly to two of aholberts posts. And I was hardly "bashing" him. More like stating that I don't care for him and his antics because he was the topic of discussion. It's my opinion, just as you are entitled to your opinions.
