That says a lot about UFC.
UFC pays like shit for all but the top talent.
Tbf, she was never at risk of being considered that so it doesn’t say that much about the pay scale vs OF.
and thirsty dudes.
They are loaded?
Until they unload.
And people wonder why all these teachers are ending up on onlyfans
It's not like the profession has been treating them with any more respect anyway.
One of the only major sports without a union
I always say the NFL is the worst sport for athletes because their bodies get destroyed in return for relatively little money (at least for everybody except the superstars), but that's because I always forget about the UFC.
Still though a practice squad player in the NFL is clearing $500k+ a season. So it's at least a decent amount of money. Is it worth the future health problems with no pension? Not my decision, but at least it is an amount of money where there is a decision to be made.
MMA, Boxing, WWE... Haha go fuck yourself.
It seems practice squad players actually make a minimum of $12K per week or $216K per season. Still not that bad compared to conventional jobs, but it's not like you can have a 40-year career doing that.
And with the effects on long term brain health they have been unraveling in the past few years its a no dawg from me thanks. Unfortunately I've already gone through my sports playing days so it was already a yeah dawg.
Pretty sure they have a pension if you make it like 3 years iirc
Don't most sports league have unions? At least all major sports in the USA have player unions.
Yeah, in the USA all the main ones do. Idk about less popular ones like lacrosse or even MLS though
I don’t think so. If it was a male UFC fighter, he’d stand no chance of making as much money as her on a site like OnlyFans. And the UFC is pretty good about equal pay based on gender.
No, this is simply the newest iteration of one of the oldest truths in history: attractive women can milk desperate men for a king’s ransom any day of the week.
100% correct.
All work places are good about equal pay based on gender because they have to in the USA.
Except sports.
Women and men are in different leagues and often hired by different organizers. The same is true with people hired in all forms of entertainment. Thier skill and demand judge thier wages.
And probably a bit about UFC fans, too
