When they treat the fighters like dogshit and pay them dogshit too?

Masses like to watch people they idolise. Being just a great fighter only gets you so far.

These fighters get absolutely destroyed in the cage and in preparation for fights. Then they get paid peanuts for it and have idiots mock them what they go through in the whole process. Just look at all the mocking gif images of fighters getting ko'd, bullied, crying or disorientated after losing, for example.

The organisation they fight for, doesn't respect them, but you expect the casuals to? Why would casuals respect broke people with 0 power? They seem nothing more than expendable slaves/gladiators. Dana White is also terrible PR. Fighters have to constantly kiss this annoying slimy pricks (with a 0/0/0 pro record) ass and he talks down to them like they are nothing.

These are supposed to be the baddest people on the planet, but UFC antics has pussified them. I feel sorry for the fighters, they have to tolerate this shit as they really have little power.

dude this aint a sport, its show business. Its as close to WWE as its ever been, the passion it once had is mostly gone. A few interesting fights here and there, but when it comes to big challenges and title shots - or the fights ppl want to see - comes Dana and his divas that dont want to fight X or Y, or whatever. It is getting boring as hell.

It's better to underpay them.

If you overpay them they become divas who never fight and retire early.
 
Have someone else piss on a cup, then when they come to test go to the stall and put that in USASA's cup.
 
I used to be all for fighters getting more pay. But at some point last year most of the fights got really boring, and it was being done by the fighters intentionally. I maintain this was their way of protesting their pay, but if you want to make a case for more pay at your job, the last thing you want to do is start halfassing it. If I'm the boss that'll only make me want to cut your salary or just fire you.

I agree. Pay Max Holloway 20 million so that he acts more like Conor so he can be a star.
 
Conor literally ruined it for everybody else. After seeing what the money did to him why would I pay anyone else more if I was running things?
 
Yes, the entire UFC roster should jump ship to Bellator where they'll make tons more.

I'm sure GSP who made $2.5 million disclosed to fight Bisping is taking your advice so seriously.

You're a clown. Underpaying fighters led to fighters like Benson, Gegard, Rory, Phil Davis, Askren and Bader fighting in Bellator. Or fighters like Rumble leaving the sport, cause it only pays to be the champ.

Also, Champions are fighting overly cautious because of it too. Yey, so much better.
 
Don't like your profession, quit and find another. Nobody makes those guys sign a contract.

Woodley is the only champ who fights overly cautious. Maybe Stipe in his last fight because he didn't want to get his head knocked off from Ngannou.

What about guys playing basket ball...lebron James, etc....they make tons and tons of money, yet keep coming back to play...they don't retire and never play again...cause they love the game...

Conor doesn't fight at all and GSP came back to fight only Bisping and run away again.

It's obvious that the risk just isn't worth the reward.

They make 25 to 30 million a year nimrod. That's how they pay the bills of their mansions in Miami, Beverly Hills, and LA. Max is a hick from Hawaii, nothing more.

Calling me a nimrod...haha...Hick from hawaii, yet calling me a nimrod...haha....and they are ghetto hood rats...and......What does paying bills for mansions have to do with making lots of money, then quitting, cause you are now rich? You my friend are a complete douche...
 
They could put the promotional power behind actual good fighters and not just who is hottest or who has the best abs?
