CM punk: Dana is more generous than Vince McMahon

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.

People with name recognition power don't need bonuses. It's the other good fighter that busts their ass and people never give them their due.

Like DC. DC got a locker room bonus $1 mil after fighting Jon the first time. Why? Because he wasn't getting Jon level money and he put on a great show but to Joe regular he's just a guy that lost a fight.

Locker room bonuses are a good thing.

And no you shouldn't know how much your competition makes. Know your worth. I hate people who complain because someone else negotiated a better deal than them. It's childish.

Agree, he's just taking the opportunity to have a swipe at Vince. Real UFC fighters probably felt the same way about him fighting and getting huge money as he did in WWE watching roid monkeys getting top billing over him, despite being dangerous workers and borderline retarded on the mic.

Says who? Can you name some fighters that "bust their ass and never get their due"? Can you tell me where you got this "$1 million dollar backroom bonus" figure from? I want to hold your stupid little head in my hands. [
 
Locker room bonuses pfff

"oh PLEASE UFC GOD PLEASE THROW ME A SCRAP FROM YOUR TABLE"
 
Punk is such a virgin it’s untrue.

This^
Not every damn money I do I need to notify the government.
For example, in my years as a teacher, like most teachers I used to give private lessons.
Every other teacher I knew wrote it in their VAT as a separate independent business.

The fuck I need to do that for.. as if somebody is gonna snitch on you for teaching verbs to their son and raising their grades.

Rather keep all that money.
What's next, giving the government a cut in my bar bets with my cousin? This aint north korea.

They are promoted the same way,but the inner working and politics are quite different. In that pro wrestling is in a league of its own. CM Punk (in MMA) didnt really have a career or was around long enough to have any complaints like he may have had if he had some success and stuck around.

hhj, he complained about bigger names taking top spots on big cards and their paydays. he comes to ufc as a star, takes a co main slot, and gets paid over double of contenders. and 200k more than champs.

im not callin him a hypocrite cause he didnt exactly defend what he did he just took the opportunity like anyone would have, but it is same same

I wouldnt call him a hypocrite either. He cant exactly make himself unfamous.

on second thought cm might be worse lol.

dude had no skills and had done no prior work in this field. so he was literally taking from people without payin his own dues. at least Undertaker(who cm felt he should have beat at manina) and The Rock(who cm felt he should have main evented over) are stars in that respective field and payed their dues.

again im not on the cm hate train for it, but its a bit ironic

bullshit. sometimes people dont get their worth and its not their fault. also sometimes employers/bosses forget things too. i had a freind who didnt get a raise after he was told he was supposed to get one every year. he mentioned something to the boss after the second year because he seen some shit bird braggin about a raise.

he got taken care of with more money cause it was an accident, the boss didnt even realize he forgot him and he made up for it.

Vince tried to takeover wrestlers' twitch channels and cover up rapes of wrestlers. Vince is who Dana aspires to be.

Lol, dude, Vince helped cover up a murder for Jimmy Snuka. 80's Vince was the devil. Dana has nothing on Vince.

It's not a secret. It's a well known story.

You're one if those people that think everyone brings equal value to the table and everyone should be treated like robots. Somehow you think the worst person on the team and the best person should get the exact same deal....

I met bob sapp in person back in 2007 and we got to talking, apparently Vince offered Bob Sapp a 5 year 100 million dollar deal. 60 million being guaranteed. The rest would come from merch, movies and appearances. Now I don’t know if he’s bullshitting, because we never saw Bob Sapp in the WWE, but that was stupid cash. Bob was still kinda hot back then. He just didn’t like the schedule, was the only thing keeping from doing it, but seriously, even if he could only do it for 2 years, he’d make more money than taking dives in small time mma shows. He may have been lying. Bob Sapp, has a nice guy exterior, but he’s actually kind of a scumbag, don’t wanna get into details. Glad cro cop fucked him up. But if what he said had a grain of truth to it, that’s damn good money. Vince pays quite well, at least back in those days when wrestling was still kinda hot.

Yea the schedule is bonkers. I think Tito turned down the WWE for that reason, and Ronda agreed to some limited appearance thing like Brock. There's no doubt that the top WWE talent get way more than the top UFC talent. Heck even Jon Jones was recently complaining about not getting so much of a 3rd of what Deontay Wilder gets. And Wilder's pre Fury cheque's were dogshit.
