Why is Colby acting like a SJW?

[sdpdude9]

So demanding you be paid a fair wage is being a SJW now? Man, the right is hellbent on making everybody’s lives as miserable and difficult as possible.

 

[TheOneAboveAll3]

An SJW is simply someone who thinks people should demand their worth?

Damn. Unions are just collections of SJWs confirmed.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I guess those McDonalds warriors protesting for 15 an hour SJW right? I mean they just want what they deserve.

Pink goof = TheOneAboveAll3

Sup Dana, snow from Switzerland this year or Iceland?

You are pissing me off Ying Yang, you wont like me when I am pissed off.

What people don't understand is that it's never enough money.
If the ufc shares 90% of the profits with fighters, and all fighters ride around in bentleys, it would be still difficult to make fights because "the ufc doesn't respect me and won't pay my worth yada yada."

True, but "take it or leave it" attitude is kind of goofy for title negotiations. The guy can't ask for anything? Not even ask? Just a one way street? Plus, it's NYC. Notorious for awful taxes and shit, that's why Jones doesn't wanna fight there. Even if Colby was lucky to get offered the same number he got for RDA, he'd get a greater chunk ripped off of him. Can't they at least even out that? And, while he's not a superstar now, he sure as heck is more famous than when he fought RDA, so, again, asking for a little bump isn't that shameless.

But who knows what he was asking.

So you are okay with Fighters not honoring their contract and trying to negotiate for more money? You cant have it both ways slim.

Again, Colby was offered a new contract (which he turned down), he wasn't ignoring an existing one.

This. Imagine everybody fighting as little as Conor now, but on Twitter all the time. It’s be a mess getting any fights signed.

Colby is not a big draw and he doesn't have the leverage he thinks he does.
He thinks he's a superstar now as he got a few headlines because of his ridiculous and annoying gimmick.
He should take the fight and if he becomes the champ, that's a totally different deal financially.
He would make a shitload of money as the champion.

 

[ermac88]

All these fight for what you are worth and crying over his pay to the public, he is sounding like what his idol dislikes a snowflake. He signed the contract, he should be a man about it and honor it and not crying a river to the public about the big bad UFC..... Thoughts? Please make them intelligent.

His idol is a snowflake

Mofo is always crying about someone online

shit is sad, just sad.

Yeah. If you don't get what you want, that's your problem, but that's the definition of negotiation. You want them to pay you more, they want to pay you less so you negotiate and figure out a fair amount.

 

[Kuggk]

Intelligent? Your post is fucking stupid, and so are you. Go eat a bowl of dicks.

Oh the irony

 

[TheOneAboveAll3]

Yeah. If you don't get what you want, that's your problem, but that's the definition of negotiation. You want them to pay you more, they want to pay you less so you negotiate and figure out a fair amount.

So WTF are you always against fighters asking for more and trying to negotiate higher pay? Youre just full of shit my friend.

 

[Thunderchild]

I tried to inquire about this in another thread TS. I'd like to know too.

Yeah, but when you sign on to fight for the belt - it's like a reboot, you get a new contract in which you agree to defend the title, in case you win, and stick around for however many more fights. And how much you'll get paid for them is already stated in that new contract. You can't renegotiate it afterwards, like you're now implying. That would would be a dick move. But right now, he has his 45k/45k contract - anything new they throw him his way, he should be able to ask about.

 

[MileHigher]

That is too funny. Sounds like Colby the proud conservative-republican is asking for handouts. Maybe this entitled snowflake should pull himself up by his boot straps and actually become the draw he claims to be.

 

[ZaphMMA]

Did you not read my post? He is saying other fighters should stand up for what they are worth and not settling for less.

What Colby is worth and what he thinks he's worth are so far apart I can't really blame Dana - and I generally hate the pink goof. The last fight on ESPN had the lowest viewership numbers ever, and the people who did tune in generally did so for Lawler, not Colby.

I'm not "always against fighters asking for more". They should ask for more, and they'll probably get it if they're worth more. If they aren't, they won't. Negotiations generally have 2 sides.

LOL at "not always against fighters asking for more".... Just when it's a snowflake like Colby you are okay with it, LMAO, I like your double standards.

Anyways going by what is going on it looks like Dana agrees with you and Colby aint worth it. Now Colby needs to stop whining and crying to the fans about not getting paid what he thinks he is worth. I guess you will agree with me here as well that colby needs to quit crying to the public since Dana doesnt agree he is worth it right?

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Colby has Asperger's

 

[Ube]

His idol? Lol. That boy ain’t no MAGA person.

He’s just trying to tap into a certain fan base, for money/promotion, that seemingly no other fighter has sought out. Having trump supporters on his side is the closest he’ll get to having a whole country on his side and a legit bargaining chip when it comes time.

Sure. If you think I'm giving a pass for Colby, I'd ask you to at least quote 1 post where I've said a kind word about Colby. I post a gif of Werdum throwing a boomerang at his head in every Colby thread I've posted in.

There's literally 0 chance of you not tuning into his next fight after making this crap excuse of an argument. You saying "snowflake" a bunch of times itt just indicates that this is political for you and you aren't capable of having a logical argument.

 

[RockyLockridge]

he doesn't want to fight in new york.

and CLEARLY neither does usman, because if that were the case they'd do masvidal vs usman.
