I disagree.

I think one of the biggest mistakes was not put Scott ahead of the UFC when they acquired SF.
Dana could have been moved to the background and coker would be the face of the UFC to the cameras.

I don't know if it was Dana' ego or what that prevented this move, but they missed a great opportunity there.
 
The fighters certainly seem to like him, some of the old strikeforce lot were over the moon when he got the Bellator gig.
 
I dislike both of those fuckers.











Mainly because they have much more money than I do.
 
Yes

But your argument s*ck TS
 
Pretty sure on average Belletor fighters get paid less unless they are ex UFC and they do not have insurance either. Even sponsors are not the thing people think they are these days.
 
Compare purses for the 2 events that took place this weekend and see who pays better
 
Have you seen what Bellator pays? They are just like the UFC. The top names get paid well (although much less then the UFCs top names) and the lower end guys make nothing {MUCH less then the UFCs low end guys. Coker is paying undercard guys as low as 1k to show. AND he makes them sell their own tickets just to fight on the card. People are so anti ufc that they are blind
 
No HW title fight for over 4 years.
Embarrassing freak shows like Kimbo vs. Dada 5000 that very nearly did serious damage to the sport.
Tape delayed shows.
Undercard fighters required to sell tickets to supplements their 1k/1k pay.

Coker sucks.

Coker would run the UFC into the ground. He is just as bad as Dana, but he puts up a nicer front. How he treats his undercard fighters is embarrassing
 
I like the direction he has the company going.

He is obviously far less verbally disrespectful to his fighters.

As far as treating them better pay wise? He pays what he has to pay fighters to get them to sign so he is similar to Dana in that regards.
 
They are both fruit from the same tree.

Yes but he's making bank on the sponsorship side and got a real nice six figure signing bonus when he signed his deal.

And he actually made a flat 75K in his first fight and 50K in his next 2 fights.

And Chandler makes 50K with no win bonus and he's one of the faces of Bellator with his 18 Bellator fights and titles.But signing bonuses and sponsorship.

Ps.Scott Coker is an idiot.
