Which fighters make more . . .?

Question

money -- UFC fighters or WWE fighters?

Answer 1

I think its hard to compare wwe actors to ufc fighters, it mainly

boils down to popularity in the wwe and popularity/talent in the ufc and how well the fighter is doing at that point in his career. The contracts are way different in that the ufc fighter might get paid on how well he performs and if he wins or not. The wwe fighter has a script to stick to and is only going to get paid a set amount per fight. UFC fighters also get paid extra for fight of the night , KO of the night or submission of the night.

Answer 2

The top paid wrestlers in the WWE make considerably more money on the average than the top MMA fighters. Triple H's father-in-law is billionaire Vince McMahon, so you know he makes tens of millions of dollars per year. That dwarfs the amount made by anyone in the UFC or Pride, and far exceeds the earnings of anyone in a smaller organization like Cage or Elite XC.

Answer 3

They're currently quite comparable. WWE "stars" have historically had more outlets to do other things to make money (movies, tv, products) but I think a lot of it is changing. WWE is coming down from it's peak popularity while UFC has nearly unlimited room to grow. The UFC fighters are also more in control of their earnings; they get paid for their performance, they can choose their sponsors, et cetera. Currently I'd say they're about the same but in the next few years we will see UFC fighters making considerably more when you take into account all the things other than salary.

Answer 4

probablly wwe actors.
