Blaydes on whether he wants to face Jon Jones: " I'm not going to fight Jon Jones for 200k

[downthepines]

If Blaydes is contractually obligated to be paid 200,000 then that is what he gets paid. Do I think he should try to negotiate for more? Absolutely, I hope he is paid handsomely.

Lol at all the shills saying he should take it for "exposure"

Tons of guys ended up broke with cte using that logic. And WME is MORE greedy than the old owners, not less.

Stfu and let people have their own opinion ffs.

This is not what is done here on sherdog. Or any discussion forum for that matter.

Fans: man this guy sucks,he isnt even worth 200k
Me: then why are you mad he wont fight jones,if you dont like him,wouldnt you like to see Jones fight someone else?
Fans:No im still angry that a fighter i dont like doesnt obey everything the UFC tells him to do,wether they have his best interests at heart (They dont) even if they havent even ASKED him to do this yet,I dont like it. :: slorp slorp slorp ::

You know they got a weak argument when they start getting mad that discussions are happening in a discussion forum. Thats almost bad as fighters wanting to make more money.

Don't worry the UFC aren't scrambling to give you the Jones fight

 

[Oeshon]

Beating a famous fighter= higher stock value!

You beat the man and you become the man and that leads to opportunity. Fight promoters are not fucking idiots and know that and will take advantage of that. Now is the time to get leverage and if victorious you hold the UFC hostage for more cash money.

Exactly. He should be begging for a Jones fight, not being a diva.

You ask for more cash after you have leverage.

 

[HHJ]

Remember when Jones said he wanted more money to fight Ngannou? He was absolutley right,and i cant stand Jon Jones.

Listen bro, just either adopt his point of view and share that you do or see yourself to the non-discussion forums.

jeez, it's not hard to understand.

They might. Stipe and Ngannou might want him to prove himself at HW before fighting him,and in all honesty they should fight each other at this point before any of them fight Jon. There is plenty of time.

"but i want fight now,why fighters dont die for my whims,why they being divas????"

Did you see Blaydes last fight? Yeah dana wasnt too happy. Unlikely they reward him with a superfight.

These people bitch at anything except blind obedience from fighters. It's fucking absurd. When tons of guys that were company men have come out and said they didn't get extra bonuses or points we weren't aware of, that in fact the ufc always lowballed them, people should know what's up by now.

They strong-arm guys with no leverage into taking shitty contracts. They try to force guys to renegotiate for less after a loss. And not random scrubs, guys like Hendo and Werdum have up and left the company over it. But when a fighter is on a good streak and tries to leverage that for more money, suddenly THEY are the bad guy? Fuck outta here, THAT is a loser mentality.

Its very possible,that is UFC's perogative wether they give him one. He's just puttin it out there,that if they do,he wants more than what his base pay is. Just talkin about it is gettin us talkin about it,so its smart to shoot that into the universe anyway.

Its very unlikely. Dana does not like Blaydes' style. We all know blaydes will just lie on top of Jones.

Fighter pay is always an issue except for when someone they dont like is making a potential fight stall out.
But in this case,its really not even that close. They just dont even like the IDEA of Blaydes saying no. That is fuckin hilarious! That is what they are mad at!

I would be fine with that

Snerdog thinks only exciting ko artists should ever want more money

Even then,even exciting fighters can hold up a fight they want to see. Everyone knows UFC was trying to put the screws into Porier,and they knew its unfair. They dont give a shit. They are like "take it you fucker! pls let them rob you,i want to see fight"
