Sonnen: Conor "blinked" 1st and "begged" during negotiations

[HelloJapan]

What if I become a cracked skull white collar criminal for listening to this? No thanks, TS.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Lol.

Cracked Skull & Company Man Chael, teaming up to discuss what a bad businessman the fighter is who made 10 times more money than they did in the UFC, in half the time.

This should be good.

So what you are saying is that a new fighter cannot learn anything from veteran fighters who have already had full careers? Tito and Chael both went thru dealings with Zuffa on both good and bad terms and Conor has not. Conor has coaches to teach him movement, striking wrestling and I hear he is considering getting on for Jujitsu so why cant he learn from those who have previous experience in dealing with White and the Ferttitas?

Tito was one of the first to stand up to the UFC to get more money based on his drawing power.
Chael was one of the first to Smack Talk his way into Big Money title fights.
Conor isn't breaking new ground here he has simply taken the path already blazed for him and widened it to allow more revenue to flow thru.

Yeah, Chael is a fan of Conor, but he is also a company man for Zuffa.

Also his analogy is garbage, because car salesmen are common-law employees of the car dealership; fighters are not, they are independent contractors, their own bosses, having to look out for themselves, not employees of the UFC.

Lol way to miss the point by dwelling on technicalities.

More like how he overplayed his hand.

Tito made more money than other fighters in his era.

Chael made more money than most champions in his era.

They both know and acknowledge that Conor made the right moves getting to his huge money UP until the last few weeks.

No need to be so dramatic and twist the situation.

Conor sack shiner detected

 

[subhuman trash]

And he's still begging

His image got ruined the moment he lost to a guy he was attempting to bully at press conferences.

 

[KantoTerror]

I remember when I first joined these forums, and I saw this gif....... It was one of the funniest things I saw at the time mma related

Watch Terry crews doin his own moves behind....

Lmao this so much.

 

[Besty_Tiocfaidh_Ar_La]

It should be bigger for obvious reasons but it's not because Conor is the fucking man. That's not just coming from me, that's majority of the fans, causal or not, their still buying the ppvs.

So if you Make a ton of money, then have the opportunity to make even more, but you totally fuck it up. Does that make you a good business person or just lucky or unlucky?

P4P best interviewer in the business.

I wouldn't mind Tito teaming up with Mike Goldberg to produce golden analysis and post fight interviews.

 

[Ar145984]

Two heroes right there, will listen later. Thanx TS

Lol heros. A bum who got lucky being in the right place and right time and is a mediocore fighter (Tito)
and a guy who cheats and L&Ps his way to mediocore wins (Chael)

Fucking heros.

 

[IntelligenceQuo]

Lmao thanks.

I'm sorry. I was just being an ass.

 

[Ar145984]

It is bigger.

Not in a million worlds. Everyone and their mother should be able to realize how forced the D.C and Jones rivalry is at this point. D.C had NOTHING but a few mere seconds in a round to offer to Jones. There was also nothing awkward leading up to the fight in terms of short camps and changing fights. I give credit to D.C. and Jones for taking on the fight and trying to build up a rivalrly, and I really hope Cormier wins but this is not an exciting matchup esp if it goes the way the last few did. Jones should invent a new style of L&P called Clinch & Pray.

At least the McGregor fight was short and was competitive until the 2nd round, makes for an exciting match. Similiar to if McGregor fought Mendes again.

No doubt. There were so many great moments for Tito at that event. He was like something out of a comedy.
