Or basketbal clubs could only charge $10 for an entrance ticket instead of 10x that amount. Make it accessible for everybody, pay them a normal or little bit better than normal wage and everybody would be happy

Where are you getting this notion that the modern day NBA fan isn't happy about the product in front of them?

I know, and that's the problem. It's all about money but people aren't surprised when there's a homeless person on every corner. It's sad.

Homeless in America doesn't have shit to do with NBA players getting paid the money they and their union fought for.

It's what happens when you gut every social safety net imaginable and individuals get priced out of their homes.
 
My boy Kyle Lowry making 30 mil this year. Good for him. Worth every penny.

An embarrassing amount make less than 10k and have to live on other jobs. A whole lot of guys that really really want to say they are a professional fighter and people whole bunch of people who won't tell them that they are wasting their time. When Dana cut a bunch of fighters, I was thinking how are you cutting a guy who is getting paid 6k a year. You were already paying him almost nothing.

Two different sports and a totally different revenue structure.

That said, NBA players do get a MUCH bigger slice of the pie when it comes to total revenue than UFC fighters do. They also play a lot more games per year than the number of fights almost all UFC fighters will have throughout their whole careers.

They also are likely to go into a major labor strike very soon. Because the ratings for the playoffs and the NBA finals were in the goddamn toilet. And players constantly want salary increases.

Actually it does. People don't mind spending hundreds of dollars on jerseys, tickets etc. that pay those ridiculous salaries but helping people out that actually need the money is a no-go. I've been living here now for about a year and it blows my mind how much people only care about money and themselves.

But as long as it's normal that athletes get paid millions and hard working people get paid barely enough to live, this will not change. But yeah, let's keep complaining that the UFC fighters don't make what the NBA players make

Just don't pass the buck of income inequality in America on NBA players and people choosing to use their free time how they see fit.

You should actually research as to why safety nets that would greatly deter these problems we currently face were taking away, and I assure you the NBA won't come up once, outside of a stadium being built, and even then it's a stretch.

The ufc doesn’t take a cut from outside endorsements.

I'm not sure about now, I was trying to look it up and didn't get information on current policy. Before Reebok, companies had to pay a (tax) to the UFC if they wanted to sponsor fighters. It was variable but one company on record paid 50,000 to the UFC for the ability to endorse a fighter.

Ratings were down across sports. The Stanley Cup Finals were down 61% from 2019. Are whiney black athletes responsible for that too?

I don’t know you went someplace I’m not interested in going on that one.
