I mean you got everyone from Ngannou, to Jones, to Cejudo, etc… all these champions and world beaters crying for more money on twitter and social media.

What happened to just sitting down with the boss face to face and talking straight man to man?

Airing your dirty laundry on social media not only makes them come across as whiny and pathetic, but it also seems counterproductive to what they’re trying to accomplish. Dana White comes across as a stubborn fuck that holds grudges and doubles down when you try to make him look bad so it seems that every time they do it they reduce their own chance at coming to an agreement.

If you don’t think your current boss appreciates you and doesn’t pay you enough, then go work elsewhere.

What’s that? Oh you signed a contract and you’re expected to fulfill your end of the bargain? Welcome to the real world, that’s what men do, follow through with the terms they’ve agreed to.

I don’t like Dana and I like to shit on the UFC as much as the next guy, but every time I see one of these snowflakes whining about how many millions they’re worth on social media it just makes me less interested in seeing them fight.

WTF man for someone that has been around as long as you have this is a really stupid post.

how is it stupid ? you want to make a deal make it.. or don’t and go out and explore
Your alternatives like Mouse or Rory

I understand the consent public whining - go out and get what you think your worth
 
There's about 600 fighters on the roster.

Dana isn't going to have the time or inclination to meet 600fighters every time one of them is unhappy.
That's what delegation is for : Mick Maynard, and Sean Shelby and Hunter Campbell deal with a lot of this stuff directly.

They were released from contract.

Francis, Jones, and Henry were not.

What are you, new?

Francis was not.

You're confused.

I believe their contracts actually expired

francis has a contract that he signed - why would they release him from his contract ? his manager negotiated and accepted the terms

He can fulfill it just like every other human being in every other industry and move on once his obligations are over
 
I'm sure that, not only has it never crossed their mind to talk things with Dana and co. before making things public, but that, if they were to do it, it would never, ever result in them getting their offer declined.

How does public pressure work?

They expire 5 years (used to be 10) after they retire, with a six month testing window after the fact.

Henry and Jones retired, and are still under contract. They are not released.

Francis, has not retired, or been released.
