Dana White has defended his decision to pay the stars of his new Power Slap League as little as $2,000 to compete in the competition.
The UFC president introduced the world to Power Slap at the end of last year, and had debuted a new TV show in which combatants slap each other in brutal bouts. And controversy was stoked earlier this month when former UFC fighter Eric Spicely told fans on Twitter he had been offered just $2,000 to fight on the show, with a further $2,000 if he were to win.
And White argues that he is paying his slap fighters better than some boxing promoters, insisting that the pay scale is not dissimilar to when the UFC started in the 90s. The UFC boss took to social media to defend his position, responding to a fan who mocked the series' name 'Road to the Title'.
