This is a FÛÇKING MESS.

If this is true, then Dana White have the balls of Masdival and Joe Jones tightly grab.

As Floyd said to the world during the McGregor pressers, White makes more than Conor. Lol

The problem is that the sports world doesn’t see that the UFC design is like old school WWE wrestling and marketing. It’s literally the tacky side of combat sports. At first it was truly underground, the first UFC tournaments with the Gracies. When they saw how the underground world had a formula where mma fighters wanted the Gracie Challenge (anybody regardless of fighting experience) they thought to
Make a business out of it.

The worst part of Dana White bragging about his business like it’s a Star Search show making more than the fighters themselves. That shet is tacky. Can’t blame UFC stars being mad at White.

Ufc fighters get paid pennies in comparison to boxers. But in fairness, boxers have been getting overpaid for rubbish fights for quite some time

He pays them peanuts. When fight fans use UFC to **** on boxers not fighting the best, I hope they realise how exploitative the model is.

Look at Rousey. She got knocked out. The sensible thing to do at that stage would be to have a tune up, but she was thrown straight to a lioness in Nunez.

No consideration for the wear and tear because when they break, he will just replace them with some other guy who will trade their health for a bag of peanuts.

Dana is a pig.

A quick google search shows that Jon Jones’ net worth is $10 million.
This is their greatest fighter of all time and he has been around for quite a while.

Boxers are overpaid
Mma fighter’s are underpaid
Nothing new here
If all is true , White has a point
These guys signed not even a year ago , the fault is on them or whoever is guiding them
I won’t even tee off on why boxers are making so much , that’s a whole other debate ( PBC/Dazn )
Frank’s right , the UFC is run like a WWE but what does that say about the way boxing is being run

[TheMyspaceDayz]

At $500 million, Dana White has 50 times more money than the greatest MMA fighter of all time.

Yup your right but who’s fault is that ?
I’m all for fighters getting paid adequately
