I have linked real evidence, you have nothing besides your opinion.
This is factually wrong. Top 5 is a big accomplishment.
Apparently you didn't even read the break down that I gave you of what fighters pay from their purse or you just completely ignore evidence because you don't want to believe it. He wouldn't pocket close to 100k.
I don't care who you claim to be or what you have claim to have done. What you are saying in relation to what that guy said in this thread is total nonsense. Education is education whether it is formal or not. "paying next to nothing" is a complete joke. Again you completely ignore the facts that I linked to you. UFC fighters do NOT pay next to nothing. You are straight up lying.
Are you a UFC fighter? Oh wait you are not so what you wrote their means absolutely nothing. You completely ignore the many costs a UFC fighter has that you never did.
Oh until you start adding in what I have been saying this entire time? What a shocker. Most fighters do what now? Link evidence or you are full of shit.
You apparently lack the ability to read and must also be a UFC shill. I have proven that guy wrong and you as well by default. No point in continuing, goodbye.
1) You linked three instances related to fight camp-cost; I shared my own story and those of the people I know (amateur and pro-fighters). Both of us only have anecdotal evidence. If you see otherwise, you are confused;
2) He would pocket that much if he won a bonus award. And the more he fights, the more Reebok will pay him. He is paid well for a guy with zero big wins and a non-recognizable name. He is participating in a career that pays almost exclusively for those two things. Do you ignore this as well?;
3) Education is not "education". You are naive. Maybe you are just a child with no experience to pull from. That is my only conclusion at this point;
4) I am not ignoring the costs facing UFC fighters. Like I said, guys can train out of the best gyms in the world and experience low costs. The costs you shared are costs the fighter put on himself, in all cases. They hired managers, they flew people in, this and that. They didn't have to do any of those things. It is entirely their problem if they can't manage their funds;
5) Do you deny that most fighters will tend to train at local gyms for the majority of their careers? Have you ever attended a gym, taught a class, or anything similar to those things? This is patently true from what we know of human behavioral patterns as they relate to migrating and the like (once again, your lack of knowledge shines through). So poor people tend to move away from their homes and further risk their health and well-being? Come on......this violates nearly everything we know about humans;
6) You haven't proven anything. You are following the narrative that education is education, no matter what (an obviously silly notion), and that fighters often pay the majority of their winnings to coaches and their camp (another false statement I know is false from direct experience).
