Jose Aldo said he hasn’t seen his cut of the UFC PPV sales, but that wouldn’t make up for his devastating loss to Conor McGregor anyway…
Fighter pay has understandably been one of the hottest topics of discussion in MMA throughout 2015 and heading into 2016.
The debate was in no small part amplified by the UFC’s heavily criticized uniform sponsorship deal with Reebok, and many well known fighters have let their not-so-positive feelings about it be known. The most high-profile of those names has undoubtedly been former featherweight champion Jose Aldo, who’s criticized everything from the supposedly low pay for his training partners to the Reebok fight kits, to which he hilariously compared to those of children’s TV show ‘Power Rangers’.
Yet even though he was knocked out by archrival Conor McGregor in 13 seconds at December 12’s UFC 194, Aldo was expected to be headed for a huge payday apart from his $400,000 base salary thanks to his perceived pay-per-view (PPV) cut from the massively awaited event, which is expected to have drawn well north of 1 million buys.
But Aldo curiously hasn’t seen a dime of that money.
Speaking at the opening of his new hamburger restaurant in Brazil (via MMA Fighting), Aldo said that the thought of that money doesn’t make him feel better about the loss, partly because he hasn’t seen it anyway.
And as usual, he didn’t seem too happy with his employers. Jump to the next page to find out what the seemingly disgruntled champ had to say about his UFC 194 backend profits….
