   @danawhite @Mickmaynard2 please make this right, I always show up, I always make weight, and I got a 2 year old kid to support. I did my job.

   I should not get half my pay because other fighters can't do their jobs, first opponent got injured, seconds missed weight.
   

Yet he was still offered fight with 20% of his opponents pay and turned it down. What sort of fighters mentality is this?

 

[wake_me]

I hate reading fighters wineing

 

[ccc_halliway]

He won't get paid if he didn't fight; he should've just taken the fight

 

[Sonny Qc]

They will find him another fight soon.

Got paid to make weight.

stop complaining indead.

yes, he get paid is "show" money

no winning bonus or performance bonuses tho.

The sort of professional mentality that means he turns up and makes weight.
5 lbs is a lot if you're weighing in at 125.

 

[DarkneT]

Always whining about something

And that is very fair

 

[Cozytoesflava]

LOL, how the fuck do you forget the H and add an E?

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

It's "wineing."

2, 3 makes sense, but 5 pounds is a lot, especially for a FLW

 

[Fatback96]

He's getting paid to make weight and fight people IN HIS WEIGHT CLASS. I have no problem with him turning down that fight, and he should still get paid his fight purse.

It's not his fault his opponents can't do their job.

20% of the other guy's purse is 2k. His opponent missed weight by 5 pounds which is huge for FLW and you still want to him to take the fight for an extra 2 grand? In what world does that make sense?

I see what u did there! Lol!

He is going to get his show money! Read all the twits, he's whining about win bonus and FN bonus... Pretty lame

 

[EH]

At 3 and 6 in the UFC what makes him think he was getting a win bonus anyway.

 

[Troublesome10]

opponent was super late notice and probably not 100% prepared, should be any easier fight for him if anything, and for EXTRA pay. I'm not gonna call him a coward or some shit, but it does seem like an odd move.

 

[OnMcGregorNutz]

Whose jim etiquette

 

[usernamee]

I guess that's the payment policy in his contract like everyone else's

So if you sign ... Don't "wine"
