Sucks to see him so bummed out, one of my favorite fighters to follow.
To hear he only got less then a third of his show money and was denied a meeting was pretty shitty to hear. 
BUMP!!
Damn, after the 1st few comments when Cole just outright said "I don't even want to be in this session" I cringed a little when the guy kept asking questions.
I reckon more fighters are feeling this way since the purchase.
^ and since the reebok deal
That's a shame. Cole is a good dude too. Love watching him fight
I've been saying it for years....they take care of their top earners and that's it. The Ufc would be nothing without the fighters, but fans and people on this forum have continuously bashed the fighters when they speak up. Yet so many will defend the rich business men owners. Disgusting. 
WOW, that sucks to hear that, thanks for sharing card

This. VU Reggie my man.
That makes depressing listening but isn't the slightest bit surprising.
That sucks.
Shouldnt be that way for a guy who has fought in your organization for 10 years
Good fighter. That was the saddest thing to see how he's being treated.

ajsr -Same here... go to bellator Cole get your money on sponsorshipsThat makes depressing listening but isn't the slightest bit surprising.
Very sad to hear but this is the reality. Fighters REALLY DONT GET PAID THEIR WORTH. Cole is a great fighter and should be getting paid decent money. He should be getting his show money if an event is cancelled. Fucking $500 quid after all that work?????? Not the way to treat a fighter of his calibre (or any fighter in a premiere league)

wasn't Cole always Pro UFC?
There's something fundamentally fucked with this sport when a guy like Cole Miller stands there disillusioned with the way he's been treated - literally not wanting to train.
The whole org has become a joke.
In summary: a bunch of shitty decisions were made to bolster the short-term value of the company; it peaked at 4billion - got sold ASAP - and now the clowns who purchased it are taking drastic measures to try and claw back a poor investment.
Honestly, when Conor and Ronda are gone (probably sooner rather than later) what's left? Seriously: they both fall off the face of the Earth tomorrow and what do the next 5 PPVs look like?
People like Cole, Luazon, Guida, Leben etc. might not have been 'superstars' but they really helped to build this sport for the true fans and always 'brought it'. This is how they're repaid.
Shameful.
cole is the man
That was sad
