Media Dana White gifted streamer Adin Ross $630,000

[CasualBot]

Can't shit on Dana for what he does with his own money.

 

[Phisher]

This is marketing money in disguise. Dana gives em money for promo trying to capture their audiences and convert them into fans

Their audiences are loser college kids with no money.

This shit doesn't make any sense at all.

It's like when the NBA started deliberately pandering to all of the trolls on Twitter, and their ratings have been in freefall for years now.

It’s because “his money” comes from underpaying the fighters he exploits to bash each others brains in.

Instead of paying them a little more he’d rather gamble and curry favor with twerp influencers that are retrograde pieces of shit.

Like you said it’s his money to do with, why shouldn’t we judge him for the asinine choices he makes with it?

Let him intentionally miss the point, can't stand people who ignore context.

Dana is just doing what is technically illegal to do with real journalists, giving literal cash bribes in exchange for positive press.

There's a reason he has always hated journalists but loves influencers.

Dana is probably getting something in return. He's not doing it out of the kindness of his heart. When he gave the Nelk boys that 200k or whatever, it should be mentioned the Nelk boys also bought Dana like a $250,000 truck. It was a reciprocal gift. I think Dana actually got good value out of that one.

Do you think he gave out of his own pocket of ufc marketing dollars?

 

[Fergelmince]

Why do people act like Dana owns the UFC? How is Adin Ross “more important” for the UFC? If its to promote the UFC I doubt its Danas personal money being spent for company business.
Why not do a formal promotional deal with actual contracts instead of whatever this nonsense is? Is there ANY evidence the people he gave money to have actually influenced (aka proof) and moved the needle in any way? Or is this typical theoretical bullshit to excuse his goofy money giveaways, like was tried in Wisconsin a few weeks ago during an election?

Once you get over 3000 messages and 3000 reaction score come back and we can have this conversation. However, right now, you just don't have enough SherCred for me to interact with you beyond this public service announcement.

Who cares? People on here’s obsession is weird with what grown adults do with with their money.

"Here Adin, podcast of the night bonus. 650.000 dollars"

Comparing adin Ross and nelk bros to random Twitter trolls isn't a good comparison since random trolls are unknowns while those mentioned have many social media subscribers and the ufc could benefit from anyone getting exposed to ufc and buying their products...doesn't necessarily have to be ppvs


That was some pretty obtuse thinking there buddy. Are ya always this SQUARE? lol

He's probably farming them for adrenochrome.

If I buy the PPV tonight... it is only because of Adin Ross.

If Dana wants to gamble and throw money at people, for whatever reason, that's his choice. He got mega rich by being the most influential person in growing a business from $2m to $4bn (now $12bn). I personally don't think he "exploits" fighters but if you do, that's fine. I just can't imagine letting myself get angry at what someone else does with their money.

 

[BigGucciSosa]

Danas punishment for this was making him fight Conor and Cody in there debuts

 

[Trabaho]

To me this reads like Dana is paying him for promotion. Why would he gift him with no return.

 

[pick999]

He wants that YouTube clout so bad

There's a naive 18 year old with access to his parent's credit card who's saying that exact thing unironically.

[Trabaho]

Why do you care. Gambling is like doing drugs. Unnormal things will happen. If you care than do something and get these fighters paid. Go pay them yourselves. Dana is rich, to him money is different. So much money. He gambles. Gets high off it.

Bacha bazi?



I don't think that's how midlife crisis goes. I'm middle aged too but I'm just fucking my wife.

Not sure you and Dana live comparable lives lol
