Yeah, but then there's that paradigm of no such thing as bad publicity, Ronda is as of late as important as Thiago Alves, do you know what TA's up to lately? Neither do I.
After losing, Conor milked his fame and even his losses and his legion of huggers followed suit.
Ronda only went utterly sour against reality, she could have done a lot better if wasn't for being a psycho bitch... (Also 'tis what a lot of people thought of her even before Holm's/Nunes' one-way ticket to Bolivio.)
Still, I'd like to imagine that even with less money and fame, Ronda's living a married/happy life alongside another despicable UFC employee, if they end up living happy, normal lives then they've got the best deal. Bought early, sold at high.
