Would you work for a company like ufc?

[AdamWarlock]

for all the people here who still work for a company and has a boss

let's say if you are a fighter

would you work for a predatory company like ufc in your industry? if said company is the number 1 company in the field you are in.

if the situation is this shitty company is dominating the market and you can either get ripped off by them by joining them and slave away, or you have to find smaller company in the same market and hinder your career, however you dont have to deal with a prick like dana white.

which would you choose

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

I'd make my own fight league regardless of what you just asked that I did not read

 

[Brigfa2]

What do you mean by working? Dana treats his workers great and if you are talking about fighter, they are getting what they deserve. But i'm sure many burger flippers in here will say they would never work for a company like the UFC, ever for a 1M$ salary lolll

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

I would be a matchmaker or scout for the ufc if they paid me 7 figures and fly around the world. I'm not pushing pencils for em tho

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Id be scout for female fighters

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

I'd be happy to do expert commentary for them, like George Costanza I always say interesting comments during fights.

They haven't asked yet though, that's the real tragedy.

 

[SenorFranko]

Only if they treat me like a WWE employee.

only if I get the UFC hot dog griller

 

[mmacrisis]

1 fighter has zero shot of making a difference going against the UFC. If I was a fighter I would gladly work for them. Try my best earn as much as I can. Fighters careers are really short, you need to make as much as you can while you still can.

Now would I work for Purdue Pharma, definitely not.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

I definitely couldn’t work for a company like the UFC and have a boss like Dana White for a variety of reasons.

-I refuse to work for bald people.
-I can’t have a boss who has a female name.
-I can’t be seen in public wearing Rebook.
-I can’t have a boss who refers to me as “kid.
-I can’t work in a company where the top employees are alcoholic cocaine addicts.

If they paid me 200k a fight damn right I would. I would fight 8 times in 2 years and be a multi millionaire

plus they only pay you 15 percent of the purse. you do all the work they get all the money

 

[nostradumbass]

If you were a fighter, would you rather make more money fighting in the biggest company or less money fighting in a smaller org? Man, what a tough question.

 

[GiganticMeat]

only if I get the UFC hot dog griller

My uncle works for UFC and has like 6-7 of those. He rents them out in timeshares as a sidehustle and makes millions a year. I own 1/8 of a hotdog brander in the summer months

 

[Nobru]

I could help recruiting ring girls.

 

[nonoob]

Hell yeah, if my parole wasn't in place and I could ditch my damn ankle monitor.

 

[markys00]

plus they only pay you 15 percent of the purse. you do all the work they get all the money

You pay them, actually

 

[wolffanghameha]

God knows.
But I think almost definitely yes. It would be cool to experience fighting and making money in other promotions first, especially in Asia (hard to leave a UFC contract once you're in), but everyone knows 90% of the best are in the UFC.
But if you're making 100K/fight after fighting in a small promotion a few years and have a fanbase and great work-life balance and the UFC offers you 15K, you might just say no.
Like a lot of things, it's all talk until you're in the situation.

 

[Prologue]

Having gotten my career start working in a faith-based television station making sure charlatans like Pat Robertson could beg for 10% of viewers' incomes... yes, yes I would.
