"Obviously you can draw that they’re both right wing, the word I’ll use is weirdo, because obviously they vote based on what’s good for their pocketbook."

“If I really had to compare and contrast, I would say Dana is more generous. Dana does a lot of stuff for the fighters behind the scenes. I think there’s a lot of locker room money that people don’t know about and he gets a lot of flak for [not paying fighters enough]. That being said, I do also think fighters need to get paid a whole hell of a lot more."

"“But a lot of that time when he lashes out when people are complaining about pay and unionization, it’s because he knows, ‘hey, I just gave that guy $250,000 under the table’ but you can’t talk about it. But he should still pay people more and fighters need to get together and unionize anyway.”

He got 1 mil just for showing up twice in the UFC

Ofc he will not say anything bad about Dana and the company LOL

actually its the opposite. the UFC paid him and he has no shot at ever fighting again, so he has no incentive to be nice to them. If they did anything at all he didn't like he has no reason NOT to say it.
 
Why is this seen as a good thing? You have no idea how well your fellow competitors are actually getting paid and it's clearly obvious that the UFC overpays certain fighters because of name recogition.
at least they are getting paid unlike some other promotions where many of the fighters have received no pay at times. (TKO, Battlefield FC and Taura MMA for examples). And those are much less known fighters who have no good platform to make a decent living off this sport.
 
Dana is a great human being, it is already known. Bald godfather bless.
 
Cm punk has no fucking room to talk about pay, he’s one of the highest paid fighters in the ufc who can’t fucking fight. About right wing this, right wing that, god forgive me for liking money, you big fucking hyprocrite punk, I can’t stand people like this, cm punk was recently asked how much money it would take to bring him back to prowrestling and it was some obscene amount. This guy is just so delusional and fake! But then again he came from the world of prowrestling, yeah it’s nice he gave Dana props and Dana is a pretty generous guy or at least a fair man. But it was a cheap shot to bring politics into it. F off Punk. You can’t fight a lick. Yet get 6 figures to attempt to. The fighters don’t need to unionize, that’s an old way of doing things, but the fighters being employees are a good start and I think wwe wrestlers should be employees, I’ve been a employee, never been in a union tho, being an employee isn’t bad. You get stock options, paid time off etc. unions are old and dated.

This is the thing some people don't understand. UFC might pay it's fighters shit but that shit is still 10x better than the alternatives.

I would say the UFC were pretty generous to punk. They gave him every chance to win, all the time in the world and paid him a boat load. Vince would of never paid someone that much for 2 poor showings, he would have made them earn their way to the top.

If is one thing giving someone a chance, it is another paying more than some title holders were being paid.
