UFC greed: cancel next week's Philipines card but have 2 cards the same night later on

[The good dog]

They cancel an entire event because 2 fighters pull out, fucking up on very little notice all next week's fighters, trainers, camps, and the entire audience in the Philippines despite fighters willing to fill in. Not to mention losing all trust in the brand for the future.

Then they have two events simultaneously next month, no doubt at fucked American time despite being in Ireland and Brazil.

If you were an employee with any brains and saw how stupid this is for you (as a non American Fighter with limited opportunities on cards) you would be angered.

Agree? No? Discuss.

Well, may be Duterte shouldn't have been talking shits.

But he's been talking mad shits... so this is what you get.

If Derick Lewis had a slightly higher profile opponent this card could have stayed alive.

A card should not become cancelled juat because one fighter drops out.

It reflects how fkn weak some of these cards are becoming, even in the eyes of the promotion.

 

[TheTimeIsNotNow]

The UFC has been proven to discriminate against the more tanned fighters. They consistently disrespect the Brazilians. Heck, Asians can barely even get a fight booked. How long has Choi been waiting?

So you actually have no idea why this card was cancelled eh?

The only reason to watch this card was to see B.J. Penn, once he was gone there wasn't much left.
The UFC is a business not a charity.

UmMmmMmmMM STFU

The fighters still get paid and don't risk losing. Plus they don't risk getting jailed by a psycho dictator because they took a hit or two of pot in their own damn country. Fuck that show

[Project 86]

without main event this card would be weak even for bellator

 

[HaterSlayer]

I don't see how canceling this show has anything to do with them having 2 cards in one day.

For some reason, a lot of sherdoggers don't know about this according to this thread.

In the Philippines market, UFC is a distant 2nd to ONE championship...who sell out that arena multiple times a year

Yeah, it's pretty weird. I don't believe Sherdog News has reported it, so that doesn't help.
