I do wonder whether we might see a more legit fighter take this route in MMA espeically, say someone who's still not tied down to a long contract and is only fighting in small orgs becoming a youtube celeb to the degree they can promote their own matches.

Viddal Riley could do it... he's KSI's Boxing coach but also has a pretty successful Youtube channel 1.14 Subscribers and get's his face about in that Youtube scene a lot...Boxes Pro 4-0 currently, not sure what his promotion is saying though.

*Ah just noticed you meant MMA durp
 
Danis got offered 7 figure deal and rejected it plus still lives with his mum. Bellator must be paying him well lol

Post the actual context, man. Back in the day when it happened all I remember him screaming was "Walmart!" not "Sieg Heil".

I mean that looks to intentional to be a mistake, but why TF would he do that?

I'm saying this as someone who absolutely can't stand him too!

Yeah, I doubt he went full neo-nazi given the fact that this happened months removed from Pewdipie's shit.
 
Yeah because he gets goofballs like you constantly talking about him. I don’t know why any mma fan really cares about him. If you’re a fan of his then whatever, but he is not an mma fighter and no one really has a reason to be talking about him in this forum

I already posted what really happened.

But here you go, if you want to watch a terrible conference from 3 years ago.

Boxing is a bit different as someone like that could probably get a good deal with an existign decent sized promoter but MMA is much more a promoters market so there could be more incentive to try and get around that.

Honestly someone like MVP might have been better off trying that.
 
Not sure about Genius, but he's a Gen Z/Millennial internet shock value celebrity. It is definitely working financially. He knows how to be a douche bag and get everyone's attention.

Not really far off from what Conor was doing.

Ah, so it's okay to do anything as long as it gets you money? Got it!

Btw: if that was even intentional in the slightest, it's not a "fake nazi gesture" but a hitler salute, mate.

Whatever you soyboys call it.

Might as well get the bag pretending to be a supremacist since whites are blamed for everything already.

Great business move.

Nah, whites aren't blamed for everything.
I'm probably of a more white skin tone than you and i've never been blamed for something i haven't done. (Certainly not because i'm white)

You're talking about him.

And he's being talked about because he's fighting a UFC fighter.

And may inflict damage on the product if he stomps Askren.

I’m not talking about him, I’m telling you to stop making threads about. He’s not a ufc fighter, let alone an mma fighter.

There is a boxing section to this forum btw

So you live under a rock?

Or you just willfully ignore it?

Nothing wrong with honesty.

They're literally trying to remove white history and have been given free reign by liberal politicians to secure votes.

He's his own promoter.

He sells his own tickets.

He's a YouTuber making millions boxing and now he's actually suckered a former UFC fighter into his realm.

Just turned 24 and he's a brilliant businessman.

The hatred he gets is helpful, just as it is for Conor. Apathy destroys prize fighting.

I really can't even hate on this youngster getting the bag.

I wouldn't call him a genius, but he is making a lot of money with these boxing gigs. I can't believe Askren accepted.

Strictly business.

Askren will make more for this than Uncle Dana paid him.

But maybe Askren can shock us with some dirty boxing.
