It is, he can do whatever he wants with it, just like you can do whatever you want with your earnings. So why does it bother you? it shouldn’t even be a concern to you. You’re so pathetic you think me saying he can do whatever he wants with his money equals to “Boot Licking Shills.”
Without the fighters, dude has no product to sell. He could take a massive pay cut and still be insanely rich, and giving the fighters better quality pay would allow them to maximize their training and put on better performances/be better athletes to create a stronger product that likely sells better
It’s a working relationship, without the fighters The UFC wouldn’t be where it is today and without The UFC the fighters wouldn’t have a place, that is reliable for them to make a living. With OneFC being more scummy than The UFC and Scott Coker has literally made more fighters and employees jobless than Dana ever has. Lol. How do you know Dana hasn’t already taken a pay cut? At this point everyone knows Hunter Campbell is the one really running things, Dana is just the headpeace.
“Giving the fighters quality pay would allow them to maximize their training”.while I do believe that to a certain extent, higher pay would equal more fighters being broke, most of them won’t be using their money for training, they’ll be buying mansions, jewelry, cars, etc.Most MMA fighters are horrible with their money to begin with, the only positive thing with higher pay would be the ability to train full time, but I guarantee you fighters will slack off like some are today. Fighters pay their trainers , so they essentially dictate the amount of time snd effort they put into training unlike the other major sports the owners pay the trainer & pay the athletes to train so they can perform at there best, so the athletes are held accountable, you miss a practice, miss a team meeting, miss weight(NFL players weigh in also and if their weight is off they get fined) they can get rid of you just like that and these franchises has the best facilities, nutritionist, recover centers. In the end MMA fighters will be responsible for their own training to maximize it with the money they’re paid. While you got guys out in the mountains of Dagestan wrestling in a fucking bathtub with primitive training and still dominating the best fighters who essentially has the money to maximize their training. You either have it or you don’t.
