Conor sells because he's charismatic naturally. Not because he gives people the fights he wants. Siver? Poirer? These are the fights people wanted?
DJ says he is the best FLW in the world. Which is a fact. Not the best fighter period. He's said he's the best champion ever. Again, his record suggests that to be true.
Its the UFCs job to market these guys. To make people want to watch them. Also, DJ doesn't care about garnering respect. He wants money. If the UFC wants to put together a "superfight" then pay him. Its that simple.
I meant conor fights and behaves the way people want, which is aggressively, which translates to exciting fights and promotion. And he's aggressive with taking fights, as in he'll fight anyone as late notice and at different weights. When that's your style it doesn't matter who you fight.
Dj's record doesn't suggest that he's the best champion because the quality of competition is so much lower than avg. He did have a chance to prove himself against tj though...
It's not just the UFCs job to promote themselves. That's ridiculous. Fighter self promotion has proven to be effective and lucrative so it's their responsibility to do own interviews and social media to garner more interest if they want more money.
"He wants money. If the UFC wants to put together a "superfight" then pay him. Its that simple."
Don't be naive, it's not that simple. Imagine saying that to dana in a negotiation meeting. Take note of danas response and you can see that you and DJ obviously don't understand why fighters get paid more money.
DJ: "If the UFC wants to put together a "superfight" then pay me. Its that simple. "
Dana: "We pay you based on how big of a draw you are. Are you a big draw? Let's look at your numbers. "
Fact is DJ has the lowest drawing numbers.
He still asked for 2 million so obviosuly he doesn't understand that being a draw matters. Obviosuly you don't understand either. Somone should tell DJ how it works. Maybe then he won't be super boring in interviews and turn down money fights.
