News ‘F*** that punk’: Unsealed docs reveal Dana White’s reaction to Jon Jones money demands during a conversation with Lorenzo Fertitta in 2014

A scumbag calling another scumbag a... wait for it... "Scumbag!"

That right there is the serpent of the garden of Eden, astounded at Jones' ability to resist every temptation it has sent his way.
The pink goof is just its earthly manifestation trying to sway Jones with material promises, but to no avail.

Exactly what I expected day to day talks be like from what we saw with Dana and co.. and what tidbits managers and fighters shared for the public.

In fact face to face it should be much worse then texts, they have no respect and they devalue / dehumanize the fighters when their interests don't align.

So for me every time a fighter manages to pull one over Dana and co its a good day.
 
“Did he straighten up or is he still being a scumbag?”
WOW…absolutely rich coming from Dana White
 
And people say Jones ducked Francis by pricing himself out

This is what anyone who fights for their worth is up against.

It took a long time because the UFC wouldn't budge in paying Jon until there was no other option and he was their only star left.

Him and Francis have taken very similar routes. They fought for their worth, held out and went with the option that enabled them to make the most money.

After years of the UFC paying them pennies on the dollar.

People are always quick to scream duck, while the real perpetrator, the UFC, walks away unscathed. In reality, they're the biggest reason for these fights not happening.
The difference being Ngannou left for more money and freedom while Jones settled for less.
 
lol if that how they talked about their fighters I can't even imagine what they say about the regular 9 to 5 employees.
 
Both Jones and Dana have done worse and said worse than what's in those texts. I wonder what Don King would have text if everyone had a cellphone in the 80s. Most promoters are scumbags.

Majority of folks treat subordinates like shit or talk shit about them behind closed doors with like individuals.

He has to know we don’t need him. Proceeds to need him another decade.

maybe

who knows how much he really got. He held out for a while.

Jones is their biggest star and only star left other than an injured Conor. They had to give him what he wanted.
 
Dana needs to learn respect for his fighters. The only way he's going to learn is if fans start supporting the UFC. Dana is obsessed with money and not paying his fighters what they are worth. That's why he lost the greatest heavyweight in all of combat sports.
 
So before Jon jones ducked Francis by asking for D Wilder level money he tried pricing himself out of the Gus rematch?

Bones has tko wins over u fight cheap pay model too that we don’t appreciate
He signed to fight gus in 2014 then it was replaced by Daniel Cormier when gus got injured. He didn't price himself out of anything. How long have you been a an of MMA?
