Frank Mir didn’t realize until years later how drastically underpaid he was for fighting Brock Lesnar at UFC 100 from Danny Parker's blog

Brock Lesnar's UFC 100 adversary has uncovered the amount he was paid for the occasion.

Advanced as a notable occasion, UFC 100 occurred quite a while back and highlighted Blunt Mir taking on WWE hotshot turned contender Lesnar as its headliner.

It sold a then-record 1.6 million compensation for every perspectives and delivered more than $71million (£56million) in income.

Be that as it may, pay rates for the occasion, which were freely accessible at that point, showed Mir made just $45,000 (£35,000) for his loss, while Lesnar procured $400,000 (£315,000). Those expenses were before pay-per-view deals were figured in.

In any case, Mir conceded that even with his reward he didn't clear $1million (£790,000) for his battle with Lesnar. Truth be told, he said he didn't make more than $1million in that frame of mind across his 15-year UFC profession.

"I think when it at last occurred to me was the Deontay More out of control [rematch] with Tyson Rage," Mir told MMA Battling. "We actually did more purchases than they, me and Brock, and afterward I'm taking a gander at the compensation per-view cost. Alright, the cash was there. Who did it go to?

"Seeing these folks make $40million joined. I'm like goodness. Brock clearly made seven figures off it, I think he made $2.5 million. Yet, I didn't actually make 1,000,000.

"Brock himself, a lot greater whiz than [Fury or Wilder]. Why he wasn't making $20 million? That knocks my socks off, and I don't grasp it.

"Until Conor [McGregor] went along, we had the record for the most compensation per-view purchases sold."

Mir conceded that as a contender he didn't see the value in how minimal expenditure he procured contrasted with the benefits the advancement brought back home. He presently recognizes the compensation he acquired from the UFC didn't come near what he ought to have been making.

"At that point, I knew worse," Mir proceeded. "We didn't have the foggiest idea. A little while ago over the long haul, I'm checking out like, hang on a second, that has neither rhyme nor reason. A compensation for every view purchase is a compensation for each view purchase.

"For what reason is this game paying their competitors this level of what they're making versus this one? It's a similar cosmetics. This isn't two ridiculously various games, boxing and MMA.

"They're entirely practically identical with regards to setting up an enclosure or a ring, so dislike the expenses are unique.

"So what's the distinction here? Gracious, that is on the grounds that you have contending advertisers, and they know what's happening, and you can't screw one another. In the UFC, it's the main advertiser.

"In MMA, the show is the main advertiser. Dislike we will have a Bellator contender and a UFC warrior, and they're both on the card, so the two associations understand what they will get their person since the two of them comprehend the income models.
