In my day, we PLAYED video games. We didn't WATCH people play video games.

I severely doubt the top video game players make more than the top MMA fighters.
that is a lot more than I would have expected but still not remotely close to Conor, if we are comparing top earners.Not as far off as you might imagine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faker_(video_gamer)
(rumored 2.5 mil salary + streaming $$ + tournament winnings)
lol this virgin living vicariously through the couple of "pro gamers" who don't fit the stereotype.I lol@Shertards who try to mock e-sports competitors as "betas" when they are pulling better ass and making more money than the pro fighters they idolize.
the GOAT weathergirl Yanet Garcia is dating a pro gamer and streamer.
and Sniperwolf's bf
lmfao yall are killing me. I can't not mock the community of competitive gamers. Its just hilarious to me.Plenty are very fit because they need endurance to do what they do. They have nutritionist and trainers.

Oh man. Lol this face is really gonna last forever

To make money in videogames you need to beat Asian maniacs that play 18-20 hrs a day being superfocused all the time, without sleeping or taking a dump.
They develop many different medical conditions, from damage to their wrists to conseqences of sitting whole day.
Not true anymore. Last week was The International, which was a tournament in the US with a prizepool of over 24 million USD.
Okay, your post is OMEGA!Shows how beta our society has become that there is more money in e-sports than combat sports
lol I am basically a closet MMA fan for all of the reasons you mentioned. This site is the only place I discuss it and I watch fights on my computer by myself. I am a much bigger NFL and NBA fan as far as people in my life know. But yea keep thinking I'm so hardcore give a fuck MMA fan at the bar in my tapout shirt telling people about how I train UFC. This account and avatar are from when I was a teenagerI haven't even played video games since the 90s and don't watch e-sports. I do however, follow the business of sports and ratings of events. And e-sports is more relevant than MMA, with a larger audience and fanbase- which translates to sponsorship and money.
The fact that you think you're superior to "nerds" while cuckishly sporting your MMA idol's face as an avatar speaks volumes about your insecurity. The way you mock their audience is how mainstream society views you. The general public makes no distinction between a manchild who still follows pro wrestling as an adult and an MMA fan.
I get it! Athletes and entertainers are the most deserving of big pay days and no financial burdenswhy? There are about 20,000 medical school graduates every year in America. That is a new pool of thousands of new surgeons on top of the countless others already practicing. A good, experienced surgeon makes over 400k already so why does one "deserve" more when others are willing to do the job?
Whereas the NBA has only 450 possible players total, and even being a benchwarmer means you are ELITE and bring attributes and talents that 99.999999999% of the world can not match. To be competitive at this level means you are well compensated for it through ad revenue and ticket sales generated.
A doctor saves one life at a time. It means the world to that patient and their family, but is meaningless to everyone else. A team winning a game is a victory shared by an entire city together and has more cultural relevance.
