Comments Thread For: Dana White Erupts, Slams De La Hoya as "Cokehead Junkie"

[bigdunny1]

Thats only Liddell's purses, not including his PPV revenue shares - which Im sure was way more money than what Liddell earned on Saturday. A higher percentage of nothing is still nothing

Liddell also got paid money for merch by UFC.

When Liddell was at Pride, he was making 50-75K if he was lucky.

I never once heard Liddell complain about UFC pay. And neither do most guys at the top. Its the mid-level and bottom UFC guys who beat the drums regarding pay.

BOTH Liddell and Ortiz said they got little or no PPV percentage. That's out their own mouths and other fighters who got robbed by UFC. Not just mid level fighters Mcgregor has staged like 2 or 3 different fake retirements and has cried about money he was making from the UFC. If you a star fighter who generated 100's of millions and your career purse total is 4M that's ****. Wilder and Fury are reportedly getting purses of 10M+ each for a fight that MIGHT do 300K PPV buys if they lucky. Liddell sold millions and millions of PPVs with UFC and not even made half what those guys making for 1 fight that has no shot of cracking 1M PPV buys.

That bald ugly POS should be the last to talk he’s the one who let a guy like CM punk enter a ufc cage not once but twice when the guy could have literally been killed.

And now that same bald fuuckk is letting the biggest juice head in the ufc Lesnar fight for the title, you can’t get more fucccked up than that.

Dana clearly is threatened by golden boy mma.

Says the guy that wants to bring an old guy from WWE Brock Lesnar to fight the UFC Champion DC - everyone in the industry is a *****in hypocrite

I forgot about Lesner lol when fighters are old it's only OK when UFC is making money off them. if they old, a WWE wrestler or a boxer who's never entered a cage it's ok if they in their 40's and still fight. What a hypocrite and liar that bytch White is. If you didn't rob Chuck all those years maybe he wouldn't feel the need to keep fighting you scumbag.

[Iron Fister]

Oscar, in all his fishnet coked out glory, would beat Dana White like a running mule. But he’s right, Liddell had zero business coming back.

This 100x . ODLH would make White his pooootah

People seem to forget that both Chuck and Tito were fighting in the UFC before it became big. The UFC wasn't selling out millions in PPV back then. Chuck's fights were doing around 500k in his time. I believe only his rematch against Tito did 1 million. People need to look at UFC's PPVs buys from the past, both Chuck and Tito were getting paid well at that time. Can't compare todays purse with the ones from back then. If that was the case every old time boxer was getting robbed if you compare their purse to what fighters get now.

Liddell never sold millions and millions of PPVs with the exeption of his rematch with Tito. He was doing around 500k for his PPVs just like everyone else in that time. Chuck vs Couture 2 did 280k, Chuck vs Rampage did 675k. Tito vs Couture did 90k and Tito vs Shamrock did 100k. Those were house whole names back then but they weren't selling much PPVs. UFC wasnt that popular in their time

Dana no longer can take shots at Arum since both are on ESPN now so he chooses to go after DLH. I mean DLH is a terrible person who had to pay off a family for sexually assaulting a minor, but gtfoh at calling him out when you yourself put shot to sh^t fighters in fights they have no business participating in.

you wanna hit me with a source on that? i'm intrigued

For everyone saying Liddell was ripped off by the UFC, he made over $4 million during is UFC career (not including a 6 figure UFC office job). If Liddell wasted away over $4 million, thats his problem. That should have set him for life.

Liddell has a net worth of $14 million, so he did NOT need this fight.

Chuck Liddell Career Earnings: $4,630,000

WOW what about chucks trainning expences? managers? and sparing partners? nutritionist and trainning camp? that cost money!! that chuck has to pay for not to mention the irs cut so you can just chop that $4,630,000 right in half with just the I.R.S alone!!

[W1LL]

I agree. Chuck Liddell is a legend from an era when the UFC was actually fun to watch. The "fight" on Saturday was sickening.

[bigdunny1]

Liddell never sold millions and millions of PPVs with the exeption of his rematch with Tito. He was doing around 500k for his PPVs just like everyone else in that time. Chuck vs Couture 2 did 280k, Chuck vs Rampage did 675k. Tito vs Couture did 90k and Tito vs Shamrock did 100k. Those were house whole names back then but they weren't selling much PPVs. UFC wasnt that popular in their time

Stop it even if we compared to boxers back then UFC fighters were being ripped off. For example back in 2005 long before Floyd was a superstar he was the B side to Gatti and made 3.2M for a PPV that only sold 300K buys. After that fight he fought Judah was paid 5M and 8M to fight Baldamir all fights that did around 300K buys. During that same exact time Liddell was making just 100-288K per fight.

No matter how you try to spin it UFC fighters were and are still getting robbed. Making peanuts compared to boxers who are seeing much bigger piece of the pie for the money that is generated from these PPVs and events. Liddell's entire career made less money then Floyd made in 1 night to fight Zab Judah and almost as much as he made being the B side to Arturo Gatti and this is years before Floyd fought Oscar and became a cross over superstar.
