UFC is low-balling Cyborg. Cyborg cancels Holm fight negotiations.

[PapaBherd]

Agreed.

And then when a fighter gives in to the lowball contracts, fans are always the first to say “well it’s their fault they signed the contract!”.

Yup. People don't seem to get that the only way you'll ever get ANY company to pay you what you're worth is by forcing their hand.

 

[Underdog bjj jp]

Good , these sherdoggers don't pay for fights anyways

 

[TheRassler]

Yup. People don't seem to get that the only way you'll ever get ANY company to pay you what you're worth is by forcing their hand.

It's like, how do people know what a fighter's really worth? From the UFC telling the fans how much THEY think their fighters are worth??

It's a joke how much and how long they've been lowballing their fighters. These are professional athletes that don't get paid nearly as much as other professional athletes. But we, as fans, are supposed to sit here and believe the UFC over the fighters, after decades the fighters are still being underpaid, it's nonsense. Even conor is underpaid and has to negotiate.

I don't blame her for holding out, it makes sense... but I am not sure it will matter much.

The question here is does she have any leverage? Does Cyborg move PPV numbers? By adding her to a card, will it sell more?

Tough to say, I don't think there is a more compelling WMMA matchup than Holm vs Cyborg, so if there was a point either of these two fighters had any leverage, it would be for each other.

Will be interesting to see, but funny how the UFC is choosing to play hardball...

 

[AndrewSUFC]

Just get rid of her and her comedy belt.

I mean, I don't blame her (or any fighter) for trying to get more money, but she's a constant pain in the ass and the division is a joke.

 

[Rav1nHunter]

It's because nobody wants to or will pay to see you fight Cyroid.

 

[Rav1nHunter]

The ufc want a white american female as the champion

if cyborg is there
it cant happen

I think it's more they want an actual female as their female champ

 

[GSP_37]

I don't feel like Cyborg accomplished enough to warrant acting like a diva. Let Holly KTFO flabby soccer moms left and right and pay her like lowballed Cyborg then.

"You don't think she's changed her phisyology?" - Joe Roidgaine

Don't know why it seemed relevant, but the last time I saw a clip of someone bring up something Cyborg related to the #AlphaBrain he replied with that, and it didn't feel like a relevant response, so why not just be as irrelevant?

 

[kuka45]

I wonder if this is the UFCs way of trying to get rid of the 145lb division

It's possible.

 

[Askafan]

Don't believe Cyborg for a second, wouldn't be surprised if she didn't want the Holm fight.

 

[lsa]

1. Let's not act as if anything her Twitter account under the control of Broke Dick Ray Elbe can be believed.

2. Oh, surprise surprise, Cyborg is being presented as a victim.

I am a bit surprised here. Getting a low offer.. isn't that what's called negotiations?
In stead of cancelling you counter offer and the negotiation starts.

 

[Oeshon]

lets be honest though, does anyone care if cyborg fights again in the ufc?

 

[GSP_37]

Don't believe Cyborg for a second, wouldn't be surprised if she didn't want the Holm fight.

Didn't the kickboxing opponent outclass her in kickboxing?

 

[El_Diazo]

I don’t even understand why holly would get a title shot. Lost 2 fights in a row at 135 goes up lose at 45 go down win vs betche then get a title shot at 45? Makes no sense. Then again neither does half the fights the ufc makes these days

 

[lsa]

Its all about YOU!

To be fair that is what his mom used to tell him.

Why is the UFC trying to cut the salary of the best female fighter in the world?
The only fight people want to see at female 145lb is now in jeopardy. Good job.

Why is she meeting with UFC executives?

Why not her lawyer or manager?

 

[lsa]

Its true. I mean 145 is the only female division with out an Amerian champ...

Oh wait!

 

[DLX]

This is frustrating. They really need to work something out so the division can move along.

Because 145 is a shitty division that makes mens SHW look stacked.
But moronic fans claimed that tons of 135ers where actually 145ers, and also "if you build it they will come" (about 145 dv), which they did not...
Because there are NO 145ers around.
Check out tapology to see the 145 ranking its a complete joke.
