UFC 162: Silva vs Weidman

scudzilla

Salaries have already been released.

Silva is on a 600k flat fee with a 200k win bonus, Wiedman is on 24k wit a 24k win bonus.

I know there's the usual PPV extra's etc but 24k to fight for the title is a bit poor

I wouldn't take much notice of that.
The 24k is obviously just his contracted amount for all his fights. You can be sure he's getting a hefty bonus plus a slice of the ppv.

Is there a link for the youtube prelims? I'm stuck in work with SkyGo, Facebook and YouTube blocked, so it's going to be a long night watching on my phone...

Back when Brock Lesnar was in the UFC, this forum was constantly flooded with "what time is Brock fighting at?"
It's become a running joke.

And yeah, Silva is the best there ever was. He's a master, and if he's on top form tonight, you're in for a treat.

Is Brock not in it anymore?

I remember him in the UFC game alright. Beast! :P

Looking forward to this then.

Back in WWE now.

I'm dressed in a spider costume, for the occasion.

He wasn't a fan of getting punched in the face.
But he did it really well!

Jaysus! Baczynski was out!

Fair play to the lad for going for the finish before the end of the round!

The Clown Man

Yeah, that guy was impressive! That was a striking clinic. Head movement was crazy - he was feinting twice with his head before almost every punch.

UFC are offering pay-per-view to Ireland now on their website, €15 for high def and €12 for standard def. Interesting move, I think people might take that up, especially if it came down by even a fiver or so.

Why would anyone pay €15 for an event when you get a subscription for the month for €20?

I didn't know you could subscribe to it for €20 a month. The site doesn't give me the option for some reason.

Not everyone has Satellite TV. I know people who don't even have TVs these days due to watching everything on the laptop.

Something like that would be ideal for a get together in a gaff. You could watch it anywhere.

He meant Setanta I think? Who will have ESPN from next month.

I'm not sure. Don't you have to already have a basic package of €50 or so with UPC or Sky to even add on ESPN or Setanta? I'd be one of those with no tv package because I've no interest in it so I'm interested to see what the UFC offer directly. This offer might be decent enough for a tenner per event or something like that.

How impressive was Barbosa? First fighter to win by leg kick stoppage twice. Awesome!

El Guapo!

I actually thought Oliveiras leg was gonna snap in half from some of those leg kicks.

Yeah I presume you need to already need to have satellite TV.
