"He needs to shut the up and mind his own business, stay in his own lane and keep on taking advantage of the UFC fighters, while underpaying them. If he keeps on running his mouth, we may decide to give a free seminar to all of the UFC fighters on how the pay-per-view revenue should be distributed. This is typical Dana, who is always prone to ignorant outbursts. He should be the last person to try to judge someone else."

Are you a retard????
FLOYD IS A CO-PROMOTER/FIGHTER....
PACQUIAO IS A FIGHTER PLAIN AND SIMPLE...
HOW CAN PACQUIAO DEMAND PAYPERVIEW MONEY WHEN HES NOT A PROMOTER????
Have people really lost their goddamn minds?? Floyd copromotes, meaning he puts his own money up initially..... Why would he invest, pac not invest and pac and he split it down the middle???? Pac cant be that fuuuuuking stupid, but I am not sure as his fans are....
Another discipline of the floyd mayweather school of economics....floyd may be rich...but the man is a high school drop out....it doesn't take much brains to split the profits 50/50...if wlad and haye can do it, why not these two? fact is, if floyd wanted the fight, it would happen.
ellerbe....i just can't figure that guy out...is he a ***? a buff woman? one of those metro-sexual guys? there is something off about ellerbe....rubbing all that oil on floyd, answering floyd's questions when things get tough....arranging the charity work (to look good in court?)...talking floyd up like he's a boxing messiah...oh well, he's a hell of a lot richer than i am.
Someone tell Ellerbe about how one of the most popular UFC fighters Sonnen trashes Brazilian people non stop (For years now), and Dana does not say a word.
Everyone says that MMA only has one champ and they all fight each other but what about the Fedor v Lesnar fight? never happened!
Will Melendez fight Edgar,we'll see and look at all the crap with that heavyweight tournament that has turned into a joke.It's gunna take 100 years for all those guys to fight each other.MMA weight divisions are not as deep as boxing so there should be no problem having only one champ.
Already they are starting an alphabet soup with champs in UFC and Strikeforce,whats next,they gunna buy Dream?
Sooner or later UFC will have to rub out Strikeforce or they will be just like boxing.Alphabets.
MMA and Boxing is a business and they will both ride waves,up and down.
There will always be fighters in both sports that will be underpaid and some will be overpaid because thats business.
There is no such thing as only one champ,the worlds a different place than like it was in the 50's.
I doubt Dana will respond to this
he wont because floyd knows how tv money is suppose to be distributed. alot of these other fighters do not. why do you think the nba had a lockout they were fighting OVER TV MONEY!!! and ufc fighters dont get any ppv money, manny doesnt get any ppv. im sure if floyd wanted too he could cause an uproar amongst ufc fighters. asians arent his fanbase so he really doesnt care about jeremy lin. but he knows asians will spend money to watch someone they want to lose :)
No Big Dunn, I have no reason for that. I'm just saying Floyd is big, leave that Twitter crap alone. People are watching you at all times. If he has to tweet say something like it's sunny outside. Even that would probably have 2000 likes.It would have 2000 likes and 100s of comments half of which are from Pinoy haters :rofl: All his tweets/fb posts get spammed up by angry Filipinos.
I feel you smash, but Floyd actually plays ball. He does have a right to an opinion. I hoop occasionally and have opinions on certain professional players. Lin is great, but the hype came as quick as Yao Mings. Mayweather was totally wrong in his lil girl twitter rants but some people on here prove his point. He's already being compared to Derrick Rose (Mvp). That was after 5 or 6 games.
Difference with Yao and this kid was that people were expecting greatness from Yao. He came in as the #1 pick if I remember correctly.
This kid was a scrub D leaguer on the verge of getting waived.

SO floyd says all the hype is about Lin being asian. Obviously, his play , his going to Harvard, and his playing in New York had a lot to do with it.
Then the network responsible for the overwhelming majority of the hype allows an on air person to use that phrase, then they put it on a web headline 2 or 3 days later. A word that is the equivalent of "ni%%er". Then use an apology to get even more attention. This was all AFTER espn killed floyd for what he tweeted.
STill think floyd was wrong?
If you think floyd was wrong, can you give another reason for ESPN's use of "***** in the armor" both on live TV and as a web headline?

And Floyd should worry about his own instead of what's going on in basketball. Funny how u made that comment but isn't floyd doing the same?

Maybe Ellerbe should see to it that Floyd attends that seminar on PPV revenue distribution given as he feels Pac shouldnt be entitled to none of it for a fight between the 2.
It's a joke man for real. I remember a Card that Lesnar was headlining and he was supposed to be their stud/star fighter and he was making like 500K while his opponent was making 125K for the fight.
whats the diff between that and Floyd making 30mill compared to ortiz making 4/5 mill?

He makes absolutely no points as to what Dana said because he can't.
I didn't see the entire thing, but I saw something on TV a while back about how underpaid UFC fighters are.
TBH, i dont think they are that underpaid, afterall they are only fighting. The problem with our country is that we pay athletes exorbitant amounts of $$ to see them play a game or watch a fight. The one thing MMA does right is the fact that UFC is the top dog and only has 1 belt per division. everyone fights everyone and i wish boxing was like that cause then we wouldnt have so many different belts, duckers and promoters ruin the sport i love...
Not to downplay your comment, cause I do agree.
But Dana and the Fertittas acquired UFC during the "Ken Shamrock" days. He really has been there from the beginning. Shamrock joined the UFC in 93, White became president to the UFC in 92.
The first UFC event ever, wasn't until 93.
Thx for the info. I didn't know Dana was around back then..

They had like 8 fights and the total income paid to the fighters was under 2 million......16 fighters.
White can say what he wants but the guy is just as bad as some of these boxing promoters are, if not worse.
