Kim Couture talks what happened at Elite XC Card

[PhukAdvertisements]

@yodasteveo Female "Mixed Martial Artist" don't deserve more money... women's MMA isn't exciting nor entertaining enough for the women to be making BIG BOY BUCKS.

Nuff said.

[Corbon440]

Wait, men earn more money than women while doing basically the same job? Unheard of.

It's called supply and demand.

[bob2012isfake]

shes only 33 or 34 i thoght she was older

[StewartLucrative]

Gina is the biggest draw? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. bull fucking shit.

[poolboyinla]

Women get paid so little because not many people care. Thats why the UFC will never have women's fighting.

I am so glad Randy is dropping this dead weight of a woman. She will only bring him down.

And stripping to make weight is not a big deal. It is part of being a professional fighter. College wrestlers have to do it all the time.

[MrTrent]

But Gina and Kim are... Female. So you have women stripping and thats going to always be different from men stripping down for weigh ins. No matter how equal you want to make it, it's always going to be different.

[poolboyinla]

These cunts always want everything equal when it is convenient for them.

[CrisFerry]

@poolboyinla faggot!

[Stballer2424]

25 g's is more that enough for 6 months of living. What the hell are they bitching about?

[CaptainRetard88]

I dunno how much it costs to live in Vegas, but in England when you have bills to pay about £15k aint really enough to live comfortably

[elmatdor7]

anyone how old is she

[eggbertsmith]

WOW this interviewer is a pathetic and embarrassingly dumb fool!

[hardgirl99]

They shouldn't be crying about Carano being forced to strip completely nude to make weight. She is a great fighter, but she always struggles to make weight. Maybe next time she will push herself away from the dinner table. She has a fabulous body anyway. If you don't want to have to strip completely nude, MAKE THE WEIGHT! Then you can keep your clothes on.

[enviardime]

I think she has so much weight because of her muscles, she should fight stronger fighter insted of forcing her self to be in a smaller category.

[idz135]

Its not about stripping its about doing it in front of everyone and not privately w/ the Commission present. Did you watch the video?

[Kabelbeistasse5]

just moved new area

why cant i see the video MY

[RunDownCoffee]

brock lesner's first fight in the ufc was 500k. Jon fitch got payed 30k after his 7th with in the ufc... Lifes a bitch. Its a fucked up world...

[timmyxdl]

500k? Where do you get that number from? It was 250k =)...But his name sells though...

[RunDownCoffee]

I was told wrong its 250k. But you shouldnt be payed just for how famous you are. Thats all im trying to say.

[timmyxdl]

I agree, but that's pretty much how this whole world works...Scott Smith and Robbie Lawler makes peanuts while Kimbo Slice is making more than the whole fighter saleries combined...

[chris38355]

i heard they both made 250 then a 250 bonus to the winner..can get the website from my friend that told me if yal want..anyway she is fckn hot!!!!!!!!!

[bigdaddybaz]

What did Seth Petruzzeli make...anyone know?

[sog305]

History

[smalldrinkowater]

Agreed. It's bullshit that Carano-- a talented, professional athlete-- was paid 1/20 of what Kimbo was paid. But hey, it's been reported that EliteXC had shitty management. Sounds like Carano caught a lucky break... hopefully now she doesn't have to fulfill a bullshit contract.

[Undeadhero]

Umm Women fighters are not a draw Kim. They are more of a joke right now. Also get half a brain please.. Hell maybe talk to Randy and he will tell you he got $35,000 his first 2 fights in the UFC. Women MMA has a long ways to go before the big money comes in. I back up the UFC 100% on not having women's MMA fights on there card. There no draw and I can see them kind of fights in a bar with two drunk women going at it.

[chris38355]

i guess if women want to fight they should be able to but it will be difficult cause just like women basketball its just not as entertaining as mens..but i kind of agree with what matt hughes said about women fighting..just dont really like seeing women get hit...i went to a ghetto ass high school and girls were always fighting and its just a turn off to me..kinda the opposite of the way i want a woman

[planetf]

I can understand your perspective about not wanting to see women getting it, but to say women are not as entertaining indicates you never really have seen a woman's MMA match. Please don't say stuff like that if you've never seen a bout. Guys who say that usually come back and admit their ignorance after they've seen a woman's match. The females are very technical and really bring it.

[chris38355]

actually i have seen a women mma match in person, seen a couple of the gina corano(sp), and also watched the kim couture one and my opinion stands..what makes u assume i never seen one????..i think they should be able to fight i just dont personally like it..

[enviardime]

I don´t like Basketball at all, well, maybe if I see to girls playing and realy competing, I like to see girls competition on almost everything.

[Kin94285]

You pay them based on their performance and how much they bring in. Not just to put them on par with the men.

People like you are so ignorant it pisses me off.

[Kin94285]

Gina is

1)A female MMA fighter, lets just be honest here, women MMA just isnt going to bring in much revenue. It's human cockfighting.

2)Gina has 6 fights under her belt, 6 is NOT a lot, there are fighters out there with 15 wins out of 19 fights who nobody has heard of.

3)Who has Gina fought that is well known? Nobody.

4)Gina isn't much of a crowd puller, unless you've seen her in elite XC, but thats not exactly a crowd puller is it?

[halfbread1986]

Damn right Gina got me into MMA and i've been watching it since, still, she deserves her worth and should get what she deserves.

[jsg103]

Some of the big draws for the ufc get 500k, like lidell but that is just posted money, i've heard a lot of extra bonus's get through around that are more than the stated pay.

[Kin94285]

Thats for the UFC, not Elite XC, the UFC is making a lot of money, Elite XC is losing money by the millions.

It makes a lot more sense to pay Kimbo, because his Internet fanbase is in the millions. Thats why their trying to build their organization around him, he already has such a huge following.

It makes absolutely no sense at all to pay Gina Carano such a high pay, shes up and coming, but shes not the duck laying golden eggs, unlike Kimbo. Kim couture is just being biased.

[tiove]

she looks like thandie newton from this video - a little bit

[xkrazyxboix101]

wow kimbo got $500,000 that's fuckin ridiculous.The ufc champions only make usually around $250,000 or so.

[ckobo84]

You are a 100% wrong. After the weigh-in the hay should be in the barn as she said. Extremely unprofesional of Ken "does whatever he feels like whenever he feels like" Shamrock.

[femalewrestlingfan2]

For someone who had her jaw busted in .01 sec., Kim's all over Gina's business.  I say Cyborg pounds away on big mouth Kim, then Carano has to come to help, and then Gina is defeated and sexually humiliated. Gotta admit, she's a hot victim.

[clevelandcrew]

She acts like all gina makes is 25k, knowing she has tons of sponsors. I wouldnt doubt it if Gina is close to being a millionaire with everything she's doing.

[femalewrestlingfan2]

If Gina fought real competition (like Erin Toughill) she'd deserve more money.

[idz135]

Some reason Toughill hasn't fought in two+ years...other than being busy with domestic battery charges?

[david1965af]

women fighting as a sport, we are a truly decadent society
