PFL still paying preliminary fighters $3,000k? #ForTheFighters #CoLeaders #UFCDying

Dana the Roadrunner.

PFL looking like Wile E Coyote

 

[USA!USA!]

Did ya'll see how many people were at Jake Paul's fight on Friday..

Paul may make money, but it doesn't mean everything he touches turns to gold.

Surprised Jake isn't calling out Tony Ferguson for a PFL vs UFC fight

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I get that he's trying to sell it but saying stuff like this at this stage is pretty absurd.

Be interesting if UFC leaves ESPN/Disney and ESPN keeps PFL. Maybe UFC. Goes to Amazon Then you got a legit war. 2 leagues with 2 Giant backers head to head. I would love it as it would massively increase qaulity of fights and better lives for Fighters.

 

[Marko Polo]

Any org that can offer more revenue split is going to be successful as far as talent acquisition, with that said I can see Dana and Co just increasing pay when they start missing out on more prospects than they like

I don't think it would change much financially. The ESPN/PFL deal is already done, so they're getting paid what they're getting paid whether the UFC is on the network or not.

The cross over fights would be spectacular

Jake might be onto something. Considering that abomination of an event that was his last “fight” he does have experience in the matter.

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Imagine being douchier than Dana White... Seems almost impossible, yet somehow this fuckin' goof pulls it off.
I can't even look at his face.

Fucks yeah. Have 1 Cross over event a year . Would be like a fight fan superbowl.

Better yet have only 1 belt each division. All champs have to fight in the 1 cross over a year. If u Jared next guy steps up .

11 tittle fights 1 card every year would be one of biggest sporting events of the year rivaled basically only by Champions league title game, World cup every 4, or the superbowl.

Whoever had most chsmps host the event.

Imagine the people who are gullible enough to believe this, or almost anything Paul says for that matter, Iol.

Some of those prelim fighters have really soft records...

So $3000k is pretty good compared to regional shows of like $500 if that....

 

[DarthChen731]

I'd rather trust Dana than Jake Paul

ESPN over paid the UFC for streaming rights. ESPN isn't doing very well, and was trying to get people to pay for ESPN+.

Most of the bars I used to go too stopped showing the UFC. All the legit BJJs schools are going under, and the ones still around are McDojos. 10 years from now I don't think MMA will be around.

BJJ is more popular than ever.
