No way....How much revenue do you think each event generates?

Keep in mind, in Vegas, they get paid by venues to host events.....

On almost every card, all the purses combined can be paid by less than half the gate.....

WME can afford it and still keep 80%+ of the revenue.....they're just being greedy at this point.

They are so desperate to get a fight for new years that they have fighters calling eachother chickens trying to make fights where the only issue is an increase in the purse.....

I think MM vs TJ happens on the 30th.....MMs 3 Million is alot less than Nates 15 Million.....and the UFC has played the waiting game long enough to realize that this is as low as these fighters are going to make these fights.....

So he's going to ko a guy, that has never been stopped, EVER...his only losses were very early in his career, when he wasn't even training full time...and it's not like he gets hit alot in fights...he barely ever gets touched in fights..While tj has been Ko'd.

TJ just KO'd a guy who'd never been stopped ever. He KO'd Barao who hadn't been stopped ever and still hasn't been stopped by anyone else in his 40 fights. This is a poor argument.

The fight has to happen one way or the other. Whether it's at 125, 135 or a catchweight. TJ is far more worthy than any contender at 125 and if he's willing to make the cut he should be eligible just like anyone else in the division. It will be the biggest payday of Johnson's career by an absolute mile - If he turns it down it's because he's afraid. It will disqualify him from ever being a considered a P4P Goat - Rogan can get fucked.
 
MM has already proven himself at FLW and BW......

He used to fight above his weight class.....

I think if TJ is looking to fight another champ, he should probably call out Halloway and not MM.....

Halloway would take the fight for much less money, so its more likely to happen.....

I'd have to agree with you...No truly great fighter should be turning down fights...

He's already turned down the fight.. he chose to fight Borg instead of TJ...TJ wanted the fight...dana and ufc wanted the fight...but dj chose not to...now, he beat borg and he is still lagging about fighting tj..

No he didn't. He agreed to the fight as long as he got paid if TJ missed weight. TJ said it was reasonable. Dana said no. Dana turned the fight down not MM.

Why is TJ scared to have the fight at 135 for his belt? It goes both ways. MM has cleared his divison (twice for a good number of the top contenders) while TJ just won his belt.

You do realize TJ offered to MOVE DOWN to fight and DJ denied literally saying "I'm afraid he'll not make weight." which is complete and utter BS and all you MM lovers know it. DJ is his own worst enemy and he'll retire the greatest fighter no one gives two shits about except a couple morons on Sherdog and his family. Now it's still in the talks and he's still talking all around it like he did before. He never intended on fighting TJ, and still doesn't.

Not at all what happened. He said if TJ doesn't make weight I want to be compensated for my time, I don't want him to not make weight and then go through all this and not get paid. If you want to make this fight as a favor to TJ then I want to get paid if TJ doesn't make weight. Dana said no. MM was perfectly willing to sign the dotted line.

He's still not willing to sign on the dotted line and you know it lol. He never was.

Sorry, he said he was, Dana refused to send him the contract.

What he says and what he actually does are not one and the same. I can say a lot of things and never really intend on following through. He found an excuse, that's all he needed. He's stretching for more excuses now.

Sorry, he said to send him the contract. Dana refused. Anything more you say is pure fantasy.

He wouldn't have signed it. You can't prove me wrong. It's up to Mighty Duck to prove me wrong. until then you are just wasting your time trying to defend the turd.

He can't sign what isn't sent to him. Your logic is lacking.

I don't think DJ is actually scared to fight him but I do think he'd rather keep on padding his title defense record by continuing to beat weak competition than risk everything by facing TJ in his own division.
