News Coach Brown: Masvidal is ready and once he's paid the money he’s worth, we’ll have a WW champ

[INoHespectChael]

“He’s been in every day. He’s in great shape. He’s ready to go,” Masvidal’s head coach Mike Brown told MMA Fighting. “We had some great wrestlers in for him to train with. He was working with Bo Nickal and Cody Law, a couple of high level Penn State wrestlers. He was getting ready for the Usman fight.

“He was also helping Dustin get ready. They sparred a handful of times for this fight. Jorge is a chameleon. He can mimic anybody. He’s got a lot of tools to pull from so he did an excellent job of giving Dustin a good look for Hooker.

“Masvidal’s there. He’s ready to go,” Brown said. “Once they come to an agreement, they give him the money he’s worth, then we’ll have a welterweight champ.”

“He’s a guy who also to his credit, he’s always developing new tools,” Brown said. “He’s always developing new weapons. Probably more than anybody. Sharpening his knives. Putting in the hours. Sometimes too many hours. He’s a guy who will literally be in the gym for four or five hours at a time working. He’ll do that on occasion where it’s too much but he loves long sessions. It shows.

“It shows why he can do a lot of different things. He’s got a lot of weapons in the tool box.”

LMFAO. I wouldn't pay him a fucking 100 grand to have him fight.

 

[Travis Alexander]

War Mas, fuck the haters!

 

[INoHespectChael]

How much does he asks for really? I feel like 1 mil is pretty reasonable but any higher than that is kind of pushing it.

lol $1 million to show? Nunes makes 350k to show. Jones Makes 500k to show.

 

[tequilaboy]

A welterweight champ yes. A new welterweight champ no.

 

[omawho402]

Mas hopes Burns takes out Usman. Usman was 100% ready to fight him.

I don't like Usman, but dude ducks nobody

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

Jones only gets 500k to show? that's hard to believe since he's the second biggest draw after Mcg in WME era.

khabib did bigger numbers vs poirier than jones did against smith and santos

the problem is that he already has a VERY good contract he negotiated prior to the Nate fight

he just won’t take the title fight unless he’s paid much more than the contract

surely they knew that a title shot was an option when they negotiated the contract

they should of simply just added a kicker to increase the pay by whatever % for title fights

this is what happens when you have bad management

Ali bless

Do you guys like coach Brown do you think he's got what it takes to take Masvidal to the world title

 

[avid1]

Jones only gets 500k to show? that's hard to believe since he's the second biggest draw after Mcg in WME era.

jones himself said he makes +$5 mill per fight, so seems big part is PPV-points and backend bonuses.

Unfortunately for him Gilbert Burns set the market rate for a title match lol.

That's the whole point I'd respect the hell out of him if he came out and admitted what we all know; he ducked Usman about as much as you can possibly duck someone. Why not admit it that he's terrified of getting ragdolled by Usman and losing all the hype he's built up over the course of the past year. We can then let him fight guy's like Diaz, Conor if he's ever interested, and other big drawing names from 155 right up to 185, and he can stay entirely out of the title picture at any weight class whilst chasing money fights.

He made 1.5 mil to fight Diaz so he's definitely not taking any less than that.

Unfortunately for him he didn't even accept the same amount of money he got for the Nate fight to fight Usman. Only bigger ducking effort I can think of recently is GDR/Cyborg. Hell even Conor eventually fought Khabib.
