This is basically the same shit as Randy. It was a good amount of money when he signed the contract but now that someone else makes more htey want to re-neg the contract. I dont see the UFC even wantig to pay him the 100K anymore since he is 1-2 in his last 3 fights and nobody pays to watch him anyway. Brock obviously had good enough management that he got a great base fight purse.

Maybe we will finally get to see Tim shut Fedor up

At least if M1 gets Tim and AA there is not excuse for Fedor to not fight top 10 guys.

It's because they brought the UFC to where it is today and think they should be compensated instead of some guy...ala Crocop or Brock getting the fruits of their labor. Is that so hard for people to understand. It is very disrespectful in their eyes. I understand the business side but if you start making your employees disgruntled you are going to lose money in the end. Think long term.

Dont get me wrong. I understand why they are pissed I just figure that they should be more professional about it and bring up thier arguments when contract time comes around again.

Its the same reason Jardine got 14K to beat Chuck and Chuck got 500K. Because Chuck made the UFC more money losing that fight than Jardine did winning it.

yeah, he has the right to be a little upset about that.

No, I really don't think he does. But I also think Brock Lesnar will NOT get paid that much each time he fights for UFC. Brock's appearance was worth more money to UFC because it drew more. Every business on the face of the planet revolves around money in one way or another. Let's see how much everyone actually complains when Brock's appearance actually draws more fans to UFC, thus making UFC better for everyone.

Brock will get 250K for his next 3 fights. Its a contract. If he wins 2 he cant go say he wants 500K a fight till he fights the 3rd fight and completes his contract. Then he can start with the negotiations and look for more money just like any other fighter.
