Rockhold vs Romero main event in jeopardy

[Luke Thomas Rockhold]

"After negotiations at the arena didn’t get finalized, all parties took a break to go back to the hotel to continue. No deal yet to get this fight done." - Ariel Helwani

No one will watch this card. Will do even less numbers than non-PPV events.

Great card UFC!

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Yoel ruined this card even harder if true.

 

[Watermelonfresh]

Yes! Get this card wrecked so ufc loses a ton of money for putting this trash on

 

[Gangstub]

If 6'3, 200+ lbs, damn near Light Heavyweight Luke Rockhold declines this fight because of 3 fucking pounds, I'm no longer a fan. Even Bones wouldn't do this shit.

All the Australians went to watch Hunto anyways.

Luke wants 50% of Yoels purse win or lose

 

[yookfarb]

If it really falls through as punishment they rematch at 205 on Bispings next undercard...

 

[po_thead]

Fuck no, he dosen't even deserve 10%, he should stop being such a douche, and let the guy keep his money for even accepting this fight with on short notice. I'm a big fan of Rockhold, but now I see why people call him a douche.

 

[andmcq]

I'm looking for a refund already. This is a disaster.

 

[Dozer .]

UFC will have to pay up

 

[Shocktagon]

Sucks for people who paid to see it but meh, tbh. I'll watch the Ben 10 fight and catch highlights for the rest later.

 

[Quietus]

It's UFC's fault if this falls though. Luke has no obligation to still take the fight, so he has the negotiating power here. if UFC doesn't want to pay him an extra 50 or 100k or whatever the case may be, that's on them. You would be demanding more money too in this scenario if you were him.

Also taking the money out of Romero's purse creates problems too, if he can't win the belt and won't get paid then Yoel may no longer want to fight either. It really is down to UFC to shell out money to fix this problem, not pit the fighters (and fans) against eachother.

 

[Kingz]

Good thing the UFC stacked..this...yeah

I know Yoel is unprofessional but Luke better not back out..or he’ll be seeing me

 

[Luke Thomas Rockhold]

Luke has no obligation to still take the fight.
