Dana White Throws Verbal Jabs at Oscar De La Hoya

[-Swizzy-]

UFC fights usually have a KO bonus in the fight contract, around 10-15 % depending on the level. They are not that underpaid...

yup. there is also a win bonus, fight of the night bonus and a submission of the night bonus.

Dana White is running the UFC the right way.

[THe TRiNiTY]

Dana White rips off his fighters. Was willing to sue the then hevayweight champion in Randy Couture for simply wanting to fight the best (which he claims to make happen, forgetting to mention 'unless they are with a different company'. He hates on EliteXC, because they simply house fighters from all brands, which makes other brands more successful.

Yet, his opinion still matters to others when it comes to morals and ethics. Incredible.

Hard to disagree with anything he said right there. I think Dana is feeling a little threatened that Golden Boy is backing Affliction and they are putting on some real good mma cards, but Dana does speak the truth.

Compared to boxing, most definitely !

But until another promotional company has some success, the UFC can pay their fighters what they feel is fair. Then again, the UFC also has bonuses and perks that we don't often get to see publicly.

Not to mention the fighters getting ad revenue from sponsors. Microsoft must be jumping for joy right now with Reshad's win.

Oh! And Golden Boy doesn't give a **** about Affliction.

he's got a point. How would DLH respond to this? Oscar needs to answer asap

I agree with White to a certain extent but he's being hypocritical to criticize GBP, the only reason Dana can put together such great undercards is because he's taking advantage of/exploiting most of the ufc fighters

Yes but hopefully as the sport grows that problem will stop. If it doesn't then it is hypocrisy

[daggum]

luckily they were just verbal jabs or delahoya would quit on his stool.
