If he wants better pay step up and fight TJ, Cruze or Garrabrant. Or don't, keep fighting guys he can beat and complain about how unfair the ufc is.
Kimo Lives -Might be annoying but dude has Valid claims
no one in the history of mma has been as dominant a champ as he has and not gotten the machine behind him at some point
if UFC wanted they could push him to the moon with his resume
they dont
mm shows up and fights and wins everytime
You can't force people to buy ppv's. Like all combat sports the heavy weights are the most popular divisions. There are exceptions when there is great competition. Hearns/Hagler was one of the best fights in history, and both guys were big draws. Who wants to see a 125 lb fight with the outcome guranteed? Is there any betting at all on his fights? He can make the big bucks but he has to step up and fight better guys. Take the Dillashaw fight or shut up.
where was he talking all this stuff?
DDAZ -A huge proportion of the world averages 5'5" or less. Look it up. I realize the UFC is U.S. centric and has abandoned a significant part of their global effort but thought it's worth pointing out that most of world is short and small. There are other huge markets besides our meathead America but I suppose that doesn't necessarily matter given the changed goals of the UFC.
I would like to see what you are referencing that purports a huge proportion of the world adult male population are 5'5" or less.
Dr Zaius -GO FUCK YOURSELF OP - if you think MM doesnt sell many PPV, just think about how many they would sell if the division didnt have him??
Seriously he doesnt make big money for the UFC, but consider the options??
OP IS DIPSHIT
They would literally sell the same amount of PPVs with or without him. No one is making a buying decision based on whether MM is fighting. Hes a great champion, but he should not expect any more money because the division even existing is a nonfactor.
At this point the only reason the division continues to exist is because it allows the UFC to spread out good fights over multiple cards, so they use the 125 as filler to suck more money from fans.

The institution that gave you the Dr designation really needs to get assessed for their standards.
