seems to be one or two very sus numbers in there.

[tinobar]

i believe that the yoon is some what accurate i mean he is 0-4

yeah when i saw the tokoro and nagata i was hmmmm

did he not just buy a jag and xbox them x-box cost money

[( o Y o )]

Jag and a Wii I think it was. lol

But yeah, the Japanese in particular will be getting paid their real fee in japan where they don't get taxed at something like 50%

[Cracked_Knuckle]

Is $500000 the biggest ever announce flat rate?

[tinobar]

good question it might be

[Cracked_Knuckle]

I think it is dude. Chuck and Randy usually getting $250000 or $300000

[blacks]

Chuck got $500,000 flat for his recent loss.

[FieldingMellish]

Hopefully Lesnar will spend that money wisely for a change.

Some laser treatment to remove that fucking awful knife tattoo would be a start.....

[tinobar]

how about as a whole is that the highest anyone?

[( o Y o )]

Highest public one by far I think. I can`t remember a card from UFC off the top of my head that hit $900,000

[Dado]

How can Royce get payed 10x more than Saku?

[( o Y o )]

^ local tax. Saku gets paid in japan

[Shinbone]

Interesting to see those fighter pay rolls.

[BEEF]

^ local tax. Saku gets paid in japan

Are you saying that Saku was only paid that much to avoid local tax, but gets paid more?

[heckyl]

^^ yes. no foreigner is going to want 50% hacked out of their purse. he gettin paid back home.

[( o Y o )]

Are you saying that Saku was only paid that much to avoid local tax, but gets paid more?

Like heck said, non US residents have to pay 50% of their purse in tax, so their purse is small in the US and they get paid more in Japan.

One K-1 fighter once said he paid his coach more for the preperation than the NSAC announced he earnt.

[Lord Gaul]

Royce robes K-1 again. He is not worth what they are paying him. And the fact that Kim gets paid the same as Sakuraba is a damn abomination.

And if Morton was dopping, then him getting droped is even worse. I hope its not true, because I never want to here that story about anyone.

[majorcunningham]

what sort of money do you expect sakuraba to make in reality?
