the guy’s a genius in some ways, he works incredibly hard and has helped to grow the sport more than pretty much anyone. possibly even more influential than Royce, but that’s a separate matter.
he has also been naughty. he doesn’t care about all fighters, just some of them. he’s comfortable low-balling the rest, it would seem. on here, he is also known for bending the truth.
but if i called him a liar, I’d struggle to back that with a list. he definitely said the ufc was not for sale, then the sale was finalised pretty soon afterwards.
what other untruths can you remember?
for the sake of good manners, please keep things factual and semi-polite.
‘This is a fight between 2 of the most powerful / richest guys in the world. Who will win? Who has seen this before? NOBODY. It’s also a crossover fight that literally EVERY EVERYONE will watch.”’
That you say it’s a gimmick or not, that’s fair. But also is what Dana is stating here. It’d be the biggest fight draw ever, all sports combined.
yeah but there’s money to be made from that fight in a similar sense to the way there’s money to be made in dealing coke. comparable levels of integrity involved.
