Zuffa’s entire contract is up there, I bet people are loving that shit.

Its good stuff to read, I sure as hell wouldn’t turn down a 7mil 4 yr. deal.

Did Brandon Vera really turn down $7 million for 4 years? Then why is he only getting paid 100+100?

LOL, only you would see it that way. Pervs make me sick :P

If he really wants to be competitive, he should drop down to 205. Isn’t he the smallest heavyweight in the UFC? But the other side of me wants him to stay in 205+ so that he’ll get his ass kicked. I don’t like him. He comes off as a prick. And that stupid dance he does after a victory is uber gay :D

Seemed like a guy whos idea of his own self worth was out of porportion with his actual talent and accomplishments. If could have alot of exciting fights at 205lb.

Now I think the UFC punished Vera with the Tim Sylvia fight

F-Vera! Dion should have written in there along with the money, a “Bang Vera’s Wife” clause.

Also, Look what Vera got when he returned to action on 10/20/07 when he fought Sylvia…..$100K! This is only $10K more than the UFC had offered him nearly a year earlier when he turned down “offer #1″ on the post it.

So, he sits out a year and jockeys for more cash and only gets $10K more!!!

……AND………

He now has to pay Mark Dion $33K of that fight money!!!!!

Brandon is a *decent* fighter and an AWFUL businessman!
