Media Katelyn Chookagain has a blond moment: "Fans don't pay my bills"

[Peli]

I get what she's trying to say, she doesn't fight at the expense of being a fan favorite(slugfests) because she's worried about her long term health and wants to fight for a long time and have a healthy retirement.

But still tone deaf.

People pay for ESPN, a monthly subscription. Some even pay for ESPN plus and ppvs.

Lmao fans don't pay your bills Katlyn? Without fans there'd be no sport.

Up there with the dumbest shit that has been said in the sport

Fans think too high of themselves. Because they pay a ticket they think they have some sort of power over fighters and promotion. In reality most fans are a bunch of ungrateful bastards who do not realize that they pay a ticket to get entertained by people who unlike them, actually work their ass off every day.

I mean get what she's saying, but poor choice of words

 

[Garnet_StrongerThanYou]

The fans do pay the bills.

I pay 50 bucks for a PPV every month, so please get CTE

 

[EndlessCritic]

Too bad for Chookagian. She fights for Dana. And Dana is more of a just bleed diehard than most casual fans.

 

[Slatersan]

To be fair she has no fans so it makes sense.

 

[aerius]

Well clearly she hasn't heard about OnlyFans...

 

[Willy Knuckles]

UFC should really invest in getting their fighters some media training. But this cringey press conference shit is part of the brand at this point

 

[rpn453]

To be fair she has no fans so it makes sense.

Exactly. She's just filling roster space. The few family members and friends that would pay to see her probably get their tickets directly from her.

You pay 50 bucks for UFC ppvs every month?? LOL You are the one who already have CTE.

Yeah, and if the fans aren't entertained, then she's shit at her job

 

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

The exact opposite is true lol

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

I've single-handedly paid all your bills for the past 6-7 years. Respect me, Katlyn. Fighters owe me millions tbh.

 

[imbossing]

Lol then stop fighting cuz your not that good

That’s presumptuous. There’s plenty of hard working people that pay for tickets.

Fans drive the attention and promotion fighters get, which leads to more opportunities for them and bigger paychecks. Nick Diaz hasn't won a fight in a decade but will still get a big paycheck when he comes back.

Even if she believes that , it’s not the right thing to say
Unless it’s a full heel turn and she starts bashing the fans all the time , that could sell some tickets
