30% Off

The economy just isn't bad here in the United States, Japan is feeling the heat as well. Fighters in the

PRIDE organization will have to take a 30% pay cut if they want to continue fighting in what has become the

Super Bowl Of NHB Tournaments.  

Fighters currently make around $5k on up depending on their status.

We also hear that fighters get taxed on what they make upwards of 30% in Japan.

The question is why the pay cut? 

Is it costing too much to put on the show?

Will we see all the Elite fighters migrate to the U.S. to participate in the Premiere NHB events around here

like King of the Cage, Gladiator Challenge or UFC  exclusively?

Only time will tell.

We at TheFightGame.tv hope that PRIDE can continue offering some of the BEST NHB Tournaments

around but the alternative is pretty damn good as well. 

We'll keep you updated.
