Jose Aldo denied Rogan's claim that he made US$5mi to fight McGregor

[lfd0311]

His planet of the apes comment confirms he has a racial bias.

Which comment was that? Because Joe Rogan doesn't have a company called Higher Primate Clothing and constantly refer to "left over monkey shit" in human nature in his comedy all the time.

 

[rush61]

He's a racist now? I want to hear some logics on this one.

Apparently only black people eat fried chicken .

 

[lfd0311]

Its called weak sauce omega mind set when people cry racism

Fixed

Thanks Marion.

I was being a snide A-hole and didn't even open the article when I laughed at Rogains comments. I got uber blasted by the Sherdog geniuses that cannot comprehend WHY the UFC executives (and their mouth pieces) might have motivation to bend the truth and inflate their monetary compensation.

It is astounding that it appears that 75% of the posters on this site are too STUPID to NOT understand that the IRS in the USA is NOT a F'ing G.D. charity FFS!

If only we could get the Human population back down to it's level in 1976 of ~ 3 billion. That said, given the MASSIVELY RETARDED population curve since then, more Humans would have died (4.3 billion) in a second than the entire previous 50,000 year history of the species combined.

I'm paraphrasing here but he was talking about going somewhere (to a film I think) and he said outside there were so many black guys it was like Africa and his cohorts started laughing and then he followed that up with yeah it was like the fucking planet of the apes.

Someone is stoned

That's because it makes him look like somebody who bitches for the sake of it when he complains about pay.

He didn't complain about his pay or champions pay. He was a champ and used that platform to voice about how the majority do not make much...

Sounds like jokes by comedians. Am I wrong?

If you're going to accuse someone of saying something like that, you need to do better than paraphrasing.

 

[Skip Reming]

Means he isn't paying income taxes on earning $5,000,000 in that fight. Means he would have to have 3 generations on indentured servants in Brazil to be able to afford the taxes on 5 million American dollars after the amount that he really made.

?

so you are saying he would be taxed more than he made???? Lol, how hard did the doctor drop you???

yeah, i want to know if it was the original or the remake, right?

 

[Mike]

When someone says "I'm paraphrasing" and says something like that it sounds a lot more like they're lying or exaggerating. I doubt Rogan actually said that, now if he did yeah that's kinda fucked up.

Could you provide us with some examples of the UFC exaggerating what a fighter makes and then being proven wrong by an actual contract. I've seen the opposite happen many times. Couture, Rampage and Wandy complained about pay only to have the UFC expose how much they earned. Rampage made $15.2 million in 11 fights http://mmajunkie.com/2013/01/white-rampage-made-15-2m-over-11-fights-but-shoots-himself-in-the-foot, Wandy made 9.7 million http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/9/2...nderlei-silva-was-paid-9-7-million-by-the-ufc. When confronted about the number Rampage didn't deny it. The numbers at http://mma-manifesto.com/ufc-fighter-salary-database/salary-main/ufc-career-fighter-earnings.html don't include ppv cuts saying Rampage just made $3.49 million and Wandy $2.12 million. If Aldo didn't get 5 million then he needs a new manager. A long time champ like him should have been making the high end of the champions $3-5 per buy ppv cut.

Comedians aren't immune from having racist views. Jokes can also have racist connotations can they not?

The UFC has banned the video from youtube but here's a link to a Sherdog topic on it

Joe Rogan is a fucking racist idiot

Absolutely. It's comedians telling jokes. Comedians touch on all taboo subjects. Why? Because it makes people uncomfortable. anything goes in comedy. Im 34 and I don't think I've ever been offended by a comedian or a joke. Maybe repulsed . but. Not offendesd
I would bet every great comedian has done many, many racist jokes.
My Dad passed away from cancer. I can laugh if I hear a good cancer joke.
Everybody should just lighten the fuck up, stop being offended so easily. Especially at jokes.
Holy shit!

(Hopefully someone will translate it)

he earned PPV points for the event, he's lying..... he easily made more than 5 million

 

[ocfightfan]

The only guys who allegedly got a red panty night so far were Chad and Aldo. And from the data available, it seems they were only paid the standard purse (maybe a little bit more) for a high level championship fight. I don't think fighting Conor makes you a millionaire.

I don't know if it was 5 million, though that wouldn't surprise me. However I'm pretty sure that Jose got PPV points by virtue of being the champ and that PPV did over a million buys.

Sorry to hear about your dad but people don't use cancer to oppress, colonise and conquer minorities. I'm not easily offended either (Jimmy Carr is one of my favourite comedians) but referring to black people as apes is neither funny nor clever. Also the "but every comedian does it" argument doesn't make Rogan exempt from criticism.
