UFC won't pay their fighters, so they go on hiatus, retire, or go to another org..

- Holm on the shelf - contract dispute
- Nunes on the shelf - wants more money to fight
- Khabib - not being paid enough to consider fighting at the moment
- Conor, Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz not fighting because UFC is cheap
- GSP retired because UFC wouldn't come to terms for proper compensation on a Khabib fight
- The #1 Middleweight in the world, Mousasi, fled to another org to get paid.
- The #1 Flyweight in the world, Mighty Mouse, fled to another org to get paid.

I could probably go on, that is just off the top of my head.

Those are all fighters that have made a lot of money.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Can't pay every fighter a million dollars or they would end up like Affliction and Strikeforce…

 

[tithas]

And yet they pay wayyyyyyyyy more than every other org out there.

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Don't forget bader, horiguchi etc

 

[Thenewguysnm1]

Lol at McGregor and lol at Gegard being number one middle weight
He was a gatekeeper
You also can’t just leave you have a contract
Nunes is hurt and Holm is waiting for nunes

Maybe for prelim fighters, but many guys have left UFC for more money in other orgs

Be honest, would you suck it if Dana whipped it out?

 

[GiSP]

If your name isn’t Ronda, McGregor, or Jones* the UFC gives zero fucks.

Petty bully bitch Dana doing what he does. I bet that fuck was fat in school and caught a beating every other week. GSP faced his demons and conquered them. Dana became his own worst nightmare.

 

[GueseGuy]

Now you’ve really done it TS. You’re gonna have the shills scrambling looking to spin every point you made in the UFC’s favor. It’s never the UFC’s fault. They never underpay. Professional fighters just don’t want to fight!

 

[Drain Bamage]

The barrier to entry is so low

Its a c level sport so the pay is what it is

 

[ninja boot]

as slimy as most of the ufc brass' decisions have been throughout time I am certainly not envious of having to deal with fighters whom almost unanimously overvalue themselves.

 

[Vegesus44]

Lol, omg you are such a buzz kill. You would rather see the best fighters leave than get paid what they deserve?
F U mai guy!

Case in point…

- Holm on the shelf - contract dispute

She is 2-4 in her last 6, any contract demands are unrealistic

- Nunes on the shelf - wants more money to fight

Shes not holding off fighting because of money, she stated she needs more time to prepare for Holm

- Khabib - not being paid enough to consider fighting at the moment

Thats not why hes not fighting. Hes refusing to fight till November when his teammates suspension ends

- Conor, Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz not fighting because UFC is cheap

Nicks not fighting because hes got unrealistic demands

Nate isnt fighting because he got paid so fucking much for the McGregor fight he no longer needs to fight (which destroys your entire argument)

Conor, are you seriously citing Conor as an example of the UFC not paying enough?

- GSP retired because UFC wouldn't come to terms for proper compensation on a Khabib fight

GSP retired because they wont let him take easy fights

- The #1 Middleweight in the world, Mousasi, fled to another org to get paid.

Lol.. #1 middleweight in teh world... no..

- The #1 Flyweight in the world, Mighty Mouse, fled to another org to get paid.

Did anybody care? no.

Lol pathetic. I’ve seen better shilling on mmafighting. Step it up kid. That’s lazy.

This misses the point, UFC pays more from top to bottom. A handful of guys however, may make more elsewhere because they can't earn a UFC title fight but are top of the food chain if they go to a smaller promotion.

Lol.

Who’s not getting paid what they’re worth?

No one is leaving other than georges and that’s not because of money.
