And pray tell, who/what told this politician, who never gave a shit a bout combat sports regulation, to block mma's legalization in NY? Don't confuse the puppet for puppet master here.
comical. silver had ALL the power yet he's the puppet in your simple mind.......funny the puppet masters had no puppet after he left for jail....
Are you trying to argue that opponent or matchup has no effect on revenue generation?
are you trying to change the question? lol. i said the revenue volk "generates" would be alot less if it was in a different promotion. are you incapable of addressing that point?
i said the "What would happen to the revenue volk generated if the fight was a bellator ppv?"
it wouldn't "likely" sell less. it would unquestionably sell alot less. whatever opponent, a volk ppv will sell alot more under a ufc banner than any other. is that clear enough?I literally said Volk likely sells less and that it depends on the opponent as well.
If that's the case, why does the UFC pressure fighters to reup before title shots and why does the UFC deny champion's free agency? It's almost like they know those fighters are lucrative and would rather not let them go.
yeah, they would rather not let them go <> they take their revenue with them. again, if volk somehow got out of his contract and fought mckee in a bellator ppv for his next fight, the revenue would plummet.......without question....
you literally said the revenue would be less but he may be paid more.....I literally said AJ would likely make/be paid less if he was stateside or with GBP. Reading compression, you might want to brush up on it.
is matchroom the only promotion allowed to promote in GB? again, matchroom could have been replaced by lots of promotions with limited impact on revenue for that fight.Yeah, SA for the odd super fight here and there. The preference would still be to have him fight at home most of the time. Saudis aren't going to shell out 9 figures for a bog standard mandatory.
I merely pointed out that being able to tell a promoter to fuck off when they come to you asking for a rematch clause while you're mandatory has financial and negotiation ramifications. Not a super hot take or out of the world concept.
your hot take was that joshua could make more money because of the ali act.....
again, avoiding simply stating volk's revenue is highly dependent on the promotion....He needs the UFC, UFC needs him, UFC also mostly has cachet because it was built off the back of earlier PPV stars. Not to mention Volk has never headlined so hard to say what he's going to do here.
I tried to spin things by saying Volk is underpaid, like most elite fighters, and that it's pretty embarrassing when the B-side of decent sized boxing PPV makes more money than the entire card for 266, which included 2 champions and one of the UFC's higher paid non-champions? Woah, such spin.
you still can't acknowledge that volk's revenue is dependent on the promotion and usyk isn't.
