UFC veteran Eric Spicely was offered a contract that would guarantee him just $2,000 to compete in Dana White's new Power Slap League.
Spicely, 36, competed in the UFC for three years but was cut from the organisation after going 3-5 in a dismal run at 185lb. The Canadian has since fought in Abu Dhabi and across Europe, but has been knocked out in all three of his fights. Spicely was recently offered a spot in the new slap-fighting competition, only to be left shocked at the pay he was offered.
"I was contacted to do power slap, you guys would be shocked at how much it pays," Spicely wrote on Twitter. A fan then replied to the UFC veteran "not enough" before he wrote back: "First fight was $2k and $2k." In the UFC, the minimum purse is $10,000 for fighters signed from the Contender Series which means Power Slap guarantees fighters five times less for competing.
