Itâs as if you and Dana have no idea how journalism works.
Limmyâs Show!!!
Plenty of these articles present data and compelling arguments; itâs called investigative journalism.
Calling people names because you disagree with them is what children do. Carry on, kids.
This this. End of conversation
Or perhaps I realize itâs not my job to educate you.
Itâs obvious that many mma fans like yourself hate journalists as a class and that just carries over to mma
Iâm not aware of any lies, and if there are any, thatâs bullshit.
Iâm actually against most mainstream news media, but I still think a reporter has the right to ask an independent contractor about these types of issues.
People also have to understand that the UFC is the peak of MMA. Most fighters claw their way through the regionals in hope of getting signed by them. Once there - and a few fights down the line - I doubt a fighter will feel completely comfortable bitching about their pay publicly, in fear of repercussions. From the UFC, thereâs only one direction, and that downwards.
I get that not every fighter deserves to be compensated on a Conor/Ronda/Chuck level, but likewise, some incredibly talented fighters leave the sport financially broke and physically broken.
Some people can shrug and say âwho cares - itâs their choiceâ, but I think they deserve to be financially comfortable in their retirement given what they put on the line.
Show me the references and the numbers. Show me even one franchise as an example cause Iâm yet to see an actual cash flow statement or balance sheet for one of them or the ufc.
Thatâs the problem here. Not that fighters shouldnât be paid more. They should. Problem is faggots like you spinning misinformation to suit an anti ufc narrative
Misinformation?
Tell me accountant genius, what information will you ascertain from the cash flow statement? Or the balance sheet for that matter?
You didnât even name the most useful statement when the split is based off REVENUE.
Well generally it should work like they cover the sport.
not cry about fake racism and woke stupidity and advocate to destroy the sport with ali act and fighter unions and shit.
Whatâs to like about journalists? They all push an agenda and LIE
Youâre right. I only believe what President Trump says.
Well generally it should work like they cover the sport.
not cry about fake racism and woke stupidity and advocate to destroy the sport with ali act and fighter unions and shit.
You mean they shouldnât be allowed to cover the UFC using a facet of journalism other than sports journalism? LOL.
You just proved my point correct. You have no idea how journalism works.
There was some fighter crying about pay, the media was freaking out and Dana said something along the lines of âAsk him what exactly he makes. Let him tell you the numbers and then make a determination.â
He never offered a number. Thatâs a checkmate in my book
Yeah, that proves that fighters need transparency and a union. The fighters have contracts that pay them a small amount, but Egg has complete control over all the arbitrary âbonusesâ that make an MMA career pay the bills. That is bullshit. Fighter pay should not be based on toeing the line and not making waves, it should be based on winning fights.
BLAF saying âask him what he makesâ is like an abusive husband saying to the cops âI didnât hit her, just ask herâ. In both situations, honesty will be met with punishment after the cops/reporters are gone.
Dana is an abusive husband because he pays guys millions of dollars
what
Fighter pay should not be based on toeing the line and not making waves, it should be based on winning fights.
Why?
Actually, fighter pay is about getting people to buy PPVs or tune in to free cards. If you bring fans to the table you get paid biggly, if you dont you dont.
