Just watched hendo on JRE. He was promised PPV points for the first fight with bisping, after the TUF. As long as the fight was the main or co-main. So they end up moving lesnar v mir 2 to that card and hendo v bisping gets dropped to #3 behind gsp and alves.
Hendo would have made $3.5 million or so, ended up making $300,000. Timestamp is about an hour and 34 mins in. Disgusting
The reason he would’ve gotten $3.5 million is because of Lesnar and GSP. They were both wildly popular champions. A headline fight of Hendo and Bisping would not have netted Hendo $3.5 mil.
A promise is not a contract. If Hendo acted/chose on the basis of a promise (in business) he was wrong to do so. He should have made sure it was put in a formal contract.
