What's Bellator then since they pay even less?

It's the bootleg UFC
Bootleg gladiator and bootleg pay

I heard something like he and a partner bought a lot of stocks in the UFC.

It's clever how he used the letters of the acronym UFC to mean something else.

It's clever how this post is both literal and sarcastic at the same time.

 

[TGArthur]

Smart PR move.

That's perfect. It's a wonder no one else has thought of it, tbh. Their bad press is at an all time high, change has to be coming one of these days.

Why? There’s not a single person in here that I’ve ever seen say they are going to stop watching the UFC over this issue. All this TALK is not going to change anything. Certainly not any time soon. It might even take a decade or more to get to a split that some people here would consider fair. Just like it did with every major sport. And those took decades, and player associations to actually get to the point they are at now.

But if it stays exactly as it is right now. Nobody is going to stop watching the UFC. No company just gives away profits for no reason. Why would Endeavor?

I don’t watch Pretender Series because of this issue.

Hardly anybody watches it. It doesn’t even carry the UFC’s name or brand. That’s not hurting the UFC’s bottom line. What a brave moral stand you’ve taken.

And I'm pretty sure Viacom has more money.

Jake needs another washed mma welterweight to feast on.

Over twice as much share of the percent of revenue to fighters without exclusive sponsor deals? What a dumb fucking point by one of the notoriously dumbest people here.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Cmon mods, ban these threads. Like it's long overdue wtf...

This used to be sherdog forums, not some youtubers reality show.

Paying too much share percentage so you can't grow the brand seems pretty dumb. Also asking fighters to sell their own tickets to family and friends and warm up on cardboard boxes so they can pay them more percentage also seems dumb

Well then that's an entirely different complaint, isn't it? Not the stupid shit you were suggesting before. Brand is still successful, makes money every year, and isn't underpaying it's athletes. You make an accusation of underpaying, and now you're arguing that it's dumb because it pays too much. Do you see?

It doesn't pay more than ufc it pays less because they pay fighters more than they are worth so they can't grow the brand and are stuck in an endless circle of no growth and fighters forever making less than the UFC despite paying more percentage.

The UFC is more successful because they invest in brand growth. If they paid a higher percentage they would have never become what they are now and never have been able to pay guys like Mark Hunt 750k + as a past his prime journeyman

They sound poor and bound for elimination. Maybe khabib can throw some petty cash at them for motivation
