Ya they give em to up and coming stars like CM Punk.
I would rather watch Punk fight 100 more times than watch Chuck fight one more time.

CM Punk was an active fighter, relatively young and healthy, fully trained in a great camp, passed all the medicals.
He didn't have to be a bad fighter, that wasn't by default.
There was no reason for him to be considered much worse than 2-0 Mickey Gall, who also didn't seem to be exactly on usual UFC level (turned out he actually was...)

Guess that's where we differ. I thought this was a sport and the "athletes" deserve more.
Its not. MMA is a sport, UFC is a for profit private entertainment company that operates in a sports realm, but make no mistake entertainment and profit are the number 1 goals.

so you think fighter pay in the UFC is fine?
I think it could be higher for the mid tier guys but its inline with every other profit based business in the world. The newbies make wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more than regionals and the upperers make bank. Mid-tier could use some love.

"Athletes" deserve more.
And they got more in UFC than in Golden Boy.
Two pensioneers coming out of retirement for 1 time deal got more than they got in the UFC, that's all

To be factual ...
Oscar said they would get the biggest payday of their career & they missed that by about $2.2m
“The message I want to send here is Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, this trilogy with this fight taking place, they’re gonna make the most money they’ve ever made in their entire careers,” De La Hoya said. “

you keep making it simply about 1 fight, it's bigger than that, but, to each their own. You and Frankie can enjoy the circle jerk.

Yeah plain and simple this fight shouldn't have happened.
Oscar came in claiming all sorts of shit and literally lived up to non of it.Delahoya changed nothing in the sport of mma with that offering.
You wanna change the game? Why not do mma in a ring that way you can put some boxing fights with mma fights?
Why not put together a real good card ?
This was no Affliction 2.0 this was......um....more like WWFs Tuf enuff lmfao.

Why do you think it's bigger than that? Really? What makes you think that?
