[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Even with both under the same ESPN umbrella, boxing and UFC remain kissing cousins at best-and their respective leaders, Top Rank founder and Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum and UFC president Dana White nothing less than bitter enemies.

That non-disparagement clause by the UFC is out of line.

If people have issues with the testing protocol then they should be allowed to speak freely.

What are they talking about UFC was not the first to stage no audience shows...WWE and AEW hasn't stopped... And even though is "not real" they are still making contact

Excellent update article.

I knew there was a catch in those contracts with this clause thing, but never like this. UFC is still going apparently, after 3 of their UFC cards. Boxing is late, but their planning is going to be better compared to the other sports that begun.

i dont like ufc's contracts but disparagement literally means lying negative comments so the fighters can comment if the ufc was doing something bad and there was proof. A non disclosure clause would of been bad this is nothing its just protecting from disgruntled employees making up stuff to get money.

But if they say anything negative about the testing protocols that could be construed as "disparaging" the UFC.

Companies need to be transparent with things like this instead of trying to keep what they do a secret.

if its false yes but if its true and have proof you can talk about it. Its an ahole move but the clause isnt that big of a deal court cases work exactly like that anyway so as long as you have proof your golden. Plus i gurantee you espn , top rank, matchroom are all going to make boxers sign waivers as well so they dont get sued.

Then they can sit on the sidelines and talk all the trash they want. Don't want to sign the contract? Find a 9-5. It's a free country.
