Na Bellatoru 228 niti Mousasi, niti Machida, nisu uzeli najveću 'lovu'

Honorari na Bellatoru 228 su se kretali od skromnih 1200 dolara za one u uvodnom dijelu večeri, pa sve do 200 tisuća, koliko je zaradio već spomenuti Freire. Dva glavna protagonista Gegard Mousasi i Lyoto Machida su zaradili po 150 tisuća. Obojica su imali ugovoren honorar koji nije ovisio o ishodu samog meča.

Valja uzeti u obzir da se radi o bruto iznosima i da borci moraju platiti poreze koji na ovakve honorare iznose i do 35 posto. Tu su i razne naknade menadžerima, trenerima i ostale troškove za koje borci moraju umanjiti svoju konačnu plaću. Kada zaradite 1200 dolara, odnosno nekih 7500 kuna, to i nije posebno bajan iznos, a borite se u Bellatoru.

Podsjetimo kako je Gegard Mousasi u glavnom meču večeri podijeljenom odlukom sudaca svladao bivšeg UFC prvaka Lyota Machidu. Patricio Freire je obranio titulu prvaka u perolakoj diviziji svladavši Juana Archuletu jednoglasnom odlukom sudaca nakon pet rundi.
