And TFerg can't make $60k for a #1 contender fight
$4.5 billionis that a typo? it doesnt make sense.... Khabib isnt on that much lol
The world where he did a q&a in some country close to Russia and it was packed with thousands and they had to turn people down for entry cause so many showed up. The world where he returns to Russia and thousands welcome him backin what world do you think he's THAT popular in russia?
No, lets not insert logic into this discussion.
And if Khabib says "I'm only fighting Conor for exactly what Conor makes" and the UFC says no, lets complain about that too.
We don't know (unless we're in russia) how popular Khabib is in Russia.in what world do you think he's THAT popular in russia?
huge debt$4.5 billion
And TFerg can't make $60k for a #1 contender fight
Yeah, you literally don't know either of those things. Even his money you only know reported income.The difference being Khabib isn't astronomically more important to the UFC than Ferguson is, nor does he make that much money to begin with
Bang onFerguson has fought 13x in the UFC(9x since October 2013), is a TUF winner and always exciting. Khabib has fought just 8x in the UFC since he debuted in 2012. Not a TUF winner and even though I don't mind has style it's admittedly not very fan friendly. They're ranked virtually the same. Tony should already be making as much if not more than Khabib. Fucking hell I'm getting sick of this shit. Wouldn't be as big a problem if these guys still had their own fucking sponsors. I can't blame Tony for holding out for more money on this one even at the expense of this awesome fight.
The thing is, they need to make this fight happen. But its no wonder Khabib was quick to sign the contract because Khabib seems to have a good deal while Ferguson does not. But the UFC has to look at it like this. If TFerg beats Khabib. T Ferguson is a much easier and winnable fight for the UFCs main cash cow Connor McGregor. Decisions decisions
Yeah, you literally don't know either of those things. Even his money you only know reported income.
He has zero leverage. Nobody but hardcore fans give a shit about Ferguson.Tony understands that he has leverage right now. They need him to keep this division going right now, and the UFC wants him to knock off Khabib for Conor
And TFerg is asking for an amount smaller than 0.0001% of it.huge debt
thats why Im thinking the guy made a mistake on his tweet or something?$4.5 billion
And TFerg can't make $60k for a #1 contender fight
Never said he was as popular as those guys, just more popular than Ferg.
Sounds to me like it's more likely greed than a typo. TFerg has some leverage but the UFC has more - fight for the amount they pay you or not at all.thats why Im thinking the guy made a mistake on his tweet or something?
thats the only way that makes any sense to me lol
