No fan of CM Punk, but it certainly takes a degree of courage to step into the octagon.
people always bring this up but most of us arent already millionaires. most of us would do it for 5 grand, but we arent cm punk. I dont particulsdly like cm punk, never liked him much as a wrestler, but he was already loadedI'm a Punk fan (wrestling wise) but I never understood that logic. If the UFC came to virtually any of us and said "We'll pay you 3 million dollars to train, get in shape, learn to fight, promote you and then put on in a TV fight". I think most of us would take that offer. Granted, you are risking taking damage to health but for 3 million or more, that's probably worth the risk.
It might have been some minor courage but it was really just a good financial decision.

He lived his dream as well and took all the arrows for trying. I actually respect him for going Ina big stage and trying. More than can be said for 97% of the posters who deride him.I was one of the few who wanted CM Punk to win his debut and prove the doubters wrong. It would be an amazing lesson for those wasting their lives away on the couch - it is never too late to follow your passion. If an actor can work hard for 2 years and become a legit fighter, you can go chase your dreams too.
Unfortunately real life doesn't work that way. Sometimes, no matter how much passion you have for something, you are just not talented enough. Or maybe you started too late and the boat has sailed. CM Punk became a lesson on the dangers of having unrealistic expectations.
Nonetheless, he got paid 500k to get beaten by Mickey Gall for 2 minutes. That's more money than what some people would see in their entire lifetime - dude earned it in 2 minutes. Not such a bad deal at the end of the day. Even though he is justifiably treated as a meme around these parts, I can't really hate on a guy who is just trying to make the best out of his situation.
I'd do it for 50k. You can whoop my ass for fiddy3 million?
I'll take an ass whooping for 300k. I'd go all out for that first few minutes gas and tap to strikes visa vis Bobb Sapp.

Actually it only takes a degree of nepotism. Many people spend their lives trying to make it big as a fighter and the WWEFC took a spot on a card away from actual fighters— people they refuse to pay even when they’re qualified, and handed this idiot half a million dollars and a spot on a limited card.No fan of CM Punk, but it certainly takes a degree of courage to step into the octagon.
