Original at The MMA News
• Mon, Aug 4
By Chart Topper WEC has shown with it’s last two cards, both of which were free to watch on Versus, that they have a very compelling, solid product, which again makes me wonder at the low payroll numbers. As The MMA News Opinion piece for WEC 34 said( Click here to see The MMA News article On WEC 34 salaries) , even the number 1 fighter for WEC, Urijah Faber who’s one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, on got a base salary of $22,000(he doubled it with the win.),a ridiculously low number for such a quality fighter, and an overall gate draw.
