Okay, so today I was kinda curious about how much money those UFC referees make. You know, the guys in the octagon, making sure the fighters don’t, like, kill each other. I’ve always been a big fan of Herb Dean, he’s a legend, so I figured I’d start with him. “Herb Dean salary” – that’s what I typed into the search bar.
Digging for Info
First thing I did was just a simple search. I wanted a general idea, a ballpark figure.
- I scrolled through a few pages, mostly news articles and some forum discussions.
- It wasn’t super easy to find one solid number. Some places talked about his net worth, others about per-fight pay.
- I got information about his early life.
Putting the Pieces Together
So, after looking at several sources, I started to see a bit of a pattern. It seems like:
- Per-fight pay varies: It sounded like the pay can change depending on the importance of the fight. Like, a main event on a big pay-per-view card is gonna pay more than a prelim fight.
It wasn’t a perfect answer, but it gave me a much better understanding. It’s clear that experienced, well-known refs like Herb Dean do pretty well for themselves. It’s a tough job, and they deserve to be compensated for it! Plus, it seems like they get some bonuses and other income streams. I had the general idea.
