UFC fans, however, have trolled the promotion to increase its PPV prices. Middleweight fighter Paulo Costa has recently re-ignited the complaints regarding fighter’s pay and fight fans were quick to take note of it. Here’s how fans reacted to the decision.

Yet Costa is on 70k show 70k win. Absolute joke.

Absolutely can’t wait until PPV’s are $1,000 each and fighters are still getting paid $12,000 show and $12,000 win.

Paulo Costa recently claimed that he was offered $70 k to show and $70 k to win against Robert Whittaker in a potential middleweight scrap. The Brazilian seems to have declined the offer and is possibly on the verge of exiting the promotion. Previously, Heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has also demanded a bigger pay scale. However, Dana White is yet to increase the fighters’ minimum pay.

Meanwhile, UFC 283 looks stacked already. It will be the second UFC event of 2023 following a Fight Night occasion. Here’s how to watch UFC 283 live from home.
