Is money too much involved, at least in UFC

[TalibaN]

Hi guys.

After we ve got last news about USADA / star-status Jones situation, I asked myself is money too much involved in this case since Jones is really big draw.

There is a reason why i made this thread:
Same situation is with Conor - Khabib.
Its even worse since Conors Proper12 is sponsored by Ufc and its heavily dependent on Conors status as a star.

Conor is bigger draw then Jones too i believe.


My quastion to you guys.. is it possible that USADA will close one eye when it comes to this situation !? This is really big quastion. Alot of money and future buisness is involved


Ive seen Conors instagram photos and even nutritonist and sport noob will see that man look jacked.


Its just what N.Diaz told him: " you re on steroids";

As soon as fighters starting cutting promos about money and calling for "money-fights," I knew UFC was circling the drain.

Though maybe if they were allowed to sponsors that never would've happened.

Nope money has never influenced anyone that I can think of. Especially a big buisness like the UFC and USADA.

Its obvious what happening in boxing.

It's a business the point of it existence is to make money and every fighter is in it for the money too, they have families to feed and this is their job.

Lord Artem only throws fists and only when he is paid for said services

He doesn’t throw dollies at buses nor confront others with his gang in public lobbies

Can you imagine stripping Nicco of her title for not making weight, then immediately rebooking Nicco vs Shev for the same title? Of course not, but they stripped Conor for not defending in 2 years, but gets an immediate title fight yet again for the same title. Money makes the UFC go 'round, and they'll use it to make more of it. Shame as they already have enough and the fighters don't, and the double standards you talk about are just being accepted as part of the business.

It sucks but whatever at least we get the best fights. Boxing is also a scheme sport and they dont end up matching up the top guys

 

[Chagaev]

It's almost like UFC is a business.

Is the main objective of a company is to maximize profit? No fucking way.
