well the duffle bag of cash myth doesn't make any sense. zuffa is audited, issue debt. no way an auditor doesn't come in and say your cash balance doesn't reconcile where did it go? where's the invoice and dana responds i gave to a fighter to not take a fight to the ground.
also, understanding finance more than sherdog would understand it benefits the fighter to get a locker room bonus tax free. it in no way helps zuffa.
the more expenses they have the lower their net income and lower their tax bill.
if they gave some fighter 100K off the books they lose the write off of the expense and pay tax as if it was net income.
so not only are they giving away cash they are paying tax on it as if they still have it.
never made much sense to me how on one hand sherdog says dana doesn't care about the fighters but on the other hand believe he pays them off the books in cash at the expense of zuffa.....
