UFC 76 was 4 days ago and the main reason I didn’t order the PPV was who would want to pay 40 bucks to watch Keith Jardine in a headline fight verses Chuck Liddell?
Dana White was ONLY willing to payout 14K for a headline fight while a whole wack of the undercard fights made more than the Dean of Mean.
Heck after looking at the nights purse no wonder Chuck wasn’t fighting at his best he made half a million for losing to the Dean of Mean. What gives?
Lets take a look at the Forrest VS Shogun fight. Forrest did a bit better than Jardine but Shogun beat out Forrest and Jardine combined.
Once again, what gives?
I guess it really does pay to lose especially in the Ultimate Fighting Championship!
Congrats Iceman and Shogun for eating up $650,000 and becoming the most expensive losers!
