UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar fights for many reasons, however he makes no bones about his love for collecting paychecks as massive as his stature. With the biggest event in MMA history just days away, Lesnar hopes to cash-in big time, in more ways than one.
At the end of the day, you’ve got to be able to provide for your family, Lesnar said of his unwillingness to fight for small paydays. I mean this is a business for me and it just so happens that I make more money than [Frank Mir].
That was an unexpected jab thrown by Lesnar, whether he intended to or not. Perhaps you would have to dive deeper into Lesnar’s financial history to completely understand where he is coming from.
I’ve [gone through] blood, sweat and tears for 18 years, Lesnar stated on today’s UFC 100 conference call. I’ve had a lot of time in the gym and gotten paid zilch.
