Henry Cejudo Complains About Fighter Pay.

[Fluffernutter]

He would make decent money as a coach at ASU

 

[BigGucci]

Wow I wonder who's right about fighter pay dana white or everyone else in the world

 

[Koro_11]

Nice one shill. You sound very low iq. You see how other sports, like the legit sports, have a more even revenue split, almost 50:50? UFCs revenue split is less than have than that by far. What a fucking joke for a sport which Dana considered as the biggest in the world. Not to mention that the fighters aren't even employees but contractors. What a fuckin joke. Imagine the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc to consider their superstar studs as contractors and not employees. Bush league at its finest is the U. F.ight C.heap.

If the Chicago Bulls play 80 games this year, their star player plays all 80.

If the UFC holds 40 events this year, how many does one fighter compete in?

Exactly, apples and oranges you simpleton.

The problem Henry doesn't realize is nobody cared when he was here and no ody was sad when he left. Aside from him being cringey as shit has anyone thought about him since he left?

lol youre not very bright are u....

its called REVENUE SPLIT and it doesnt matter HOW MANY GAMES/FIGHTS, it's a PERCENTAGE that is split EVERYTIME there is REVENUE generated.

Bright enough to let go of the illusion that the world is this fair place where private companies are all the same and all sports and athletes are created equal.

im not sure your time at burger king has prepared you to have a relevant opinion concerning this matter.

 

[Ghostoftheville]

Why the fuck not??

Start a union!!! I don’t understand. You already retired. There is no downside for you if you start banging the drums for a Union

Because he isn't retired, he continued on saying he wants to fight. His issue is money. He continued on saying if you can sell a fight you deserve more, he isn't necessarily pro-union, he wants his money and it's easier to make ufc look bad by making an "us vs them" argument

 

[Billthebutcher]

mini mark hunt really burning the ufc bridges after being snubbed on volk. sensitive little man.

 

[chinarice]

Fuck the UFC for paying many fighters garbage

Also, fuck Cejudo for his hypocrisy regarding GSP. Bro, you did the same thing. In fact, yours was worse. You didn't even beat an actual champion at 135... you beat a contender then you fought old ass Dominick Cruz then left...

What a dingus.

 

[Canned Tuna]

Ok but the average basketball player plays every game, so if he’s on the Chicago Bulls he’s contributing to every single event the Bulls put on.

The average UFC fighter contributes to maybe 2 or 3 events out of the 40 or so they put on each year. It’s not comparable at all.

Lol It's perfectly comparable. An average player for the Bulls only plays in Bulls games. He doesn't play in all the games the Bulls aren't a part of. Fighters ONLY get paid when they fight. They aren't getting paid for events they aren't a part of. You might want to sit down and rethink this, because your logic is falling short.

 

[Ghostoftheville]

It’s reasonable until you consider that he shows up to work twice a year while your average NHL or NBA player plays close to a hundred games.

What type of bullshit cop out is that?
Just like any other sport related union there are ways to divvy up the pay where each fighter earns a better wage despite their position in the card.
Live Gate
TV Sponsorships
PPV buys
Placement on card could decide a fighters percentage
Ranking top 20, 10, 5, champion
There are so many ways to establish a better pay scale they're simply too cheap and lazy to do it.
Per card?

 

[what-wut]

This where I stand.

I care far more about prelim guys getting a boost in pay so everyone is well than I do about millionaires annoyed they aren’t bigger millionaires.

Here's what you don't get. If the guy is risking brain damage and has a limited career he has to maximise his earnings for the rest of his life. Q double champ getting paid 300k is cheap as fuck. It's a complete rip off.

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

here's the problem-

EVERY TIME they give in to a fighter's pay demands
(GSP, Conor, Nate, Jorge, et al)

4 things happen:

1. the fighter gets their money
2. the fighter acts thrilled w new contract (look it up, every time)
3. the fighter becomes less active, or semi retired
4. the fighter suddenly wants to renegotiate the contract they previously loved.

its unfortunate they dont make more, but i do see the hesitancy, it literally never pays off if your goal is to see the fighter fight often.

Those are divas you mentioned.. that rarely fought even when they wasnt getting paid.

 

[Jabbathehook]

"I'm not out here to start a union"

And that, in a nutshell, is why the fighters are still moaning about pay a decade later, and will still be moaning in a decade from now.

Unionised, organised fighters would be able to stand together in arms and force the hand of the UFC.

 

[Kneeuinthenutz]

The most precious thing in MMA at the moment, are Dana White bootlicking fanboys who actually side with the UFC on fighters pay when it's one of the most hilarious scandals ever to take place in sports.

These motheruckers just raised the price on it's customers after Dana has been going around telling everyone they keep having their most profitable years ever. And they haven't increased profit sharing by 1 cent.

It's a fucking disgrace and NOBODY should give them another dime until they change their pay structure.

Seriously Fuck Dana White and fuck all of you who defend that fat greedy fuck.

Who says I don’t get that?

Look, I just got out of the military. I understand doing dangerous jobs for little pay. I get that.

I just not the kinda guy who gets upset when millionaires aren’t bigger millionaires. Far more concerned with poor people who need more to make ends meet.

 

[skylolow]

Once again.................hard to blame the UFC or business. There job at the core is to make as much money as possible, period.

If the fighters feel like they are being wronged then do something already. Hard to feel sorry for them at this point after all these years.

 

[Aurelian]

Yeah he'll never be broke broke. He'll always have opportunities to teach wrestling or mma.

 

[TheAlliance]

It’s been 2 years since Triple C has fought.. I find it kind’ve sad for him that he’s not getting what he wants but UFC still holds his contract rights.

why won’t they just release him? Let him go and let him fight somewhere else then… if they believe he’s not worth that kindve money.

How many fights does triple C have left? Or when does his 5 year term end (if that’s such a thing)
