MMA Fighters and Pay, no sympathy here.

Reading some of the Tweets in the aftermath of DC vs Stipe when Brock and DC cut a nice promo for their upcoming fight, the responses from the fighters was mostly negative, I find it amazing how idiotic these people can be, I don't understand how they still don't see how professional fighting is promoted.

Look at the highest paid fighters on the roster, they all win fights and they all can speak well and are interesting personalities, the fighters who bitch and moan that other guys get paid more because they talk are the ones who are as interesting as watching paint dry, winning alone is not enough to be a draw, and if you want to get paid you need to sell tickets, its not rocket science here,

DC and Brock just sold 1.5 million PPVs with that interaction and other fighters are shitting on it.

MMA fans and fighters need to realize what they're doing is basically pro wrestling except they really hit each other. Its the same business. Get over yourselves.

I couldn't agree more. However I don't think they would hit 1.5 million buys

if they promote it correctly and brock gives some access to film crews why not?

The people who complain are the same ones who’ll wonder why they aren’t main eventing shows or being pushed as draws.

I absolutely agree and the fighters that disagree are the ones bitching about a bunch of stuff.

Depends who is on the card, it could get close but I just don't see it

it'll definitely be top 3 all time ppv buys at least

The whole world works this way too which makes the haters mentality even more confusing. Being good isn't enough anywhere as you'll only be expected to be better. In this particular case though Brock and DC both have probably worked harder in their lives than any fighter complaining, so we add that in the haters have no legs to stand on.

Most MMA fighters are complete fucking idiots when it comes to business and promotion. They live in this delusional fantasy world where sportsmanship and respect instead of personality and drama generate the $$$, and when they get a reality check they start bitching and whining about the fans an the state of the sport. News flash, you dummies



Popcorn is in our DNA, that's what sells, get a fucking clue, or stay bitter, delusional and broke.

This is easy to see... Just need to look at a list of the top earners and see the pattern of why they earn so much.

It's not just about being bloody good.
