Bud is dumber than I thought.

You don't have a choice fool. Do you wanna work again? If so then take the pay cut. Just fight your mandatory challenger on basic ESPN.

Bob Arum is not going to allow you to put him out of business because he can't pay you your guarantee. If you force Top Rank into a Chapter 11 bankruptcy then you won't see one red cent.

When in a time when more than 40 million Americans are out of work and wish they could find work. This guy is bitching about not being paid his guaranteed $6 million dollars.

If the pay cut is significant then most would say no, if it isn’t then you can do it to keep yourself active, you cannot say no to a pay cut then you crying about no crowds or no fight. We all have to adjust to what has happened, some don’t want to adjust but they cannot complain about anything if they want to adjust.

Are the UFC, NBA, MLB or NFL making pay cuts?

I don't know about UFC, but the others are billion dollar businesses.

I understand Bud's position but he should avoid these comments in public because it looks like he doesn't understand or care about the fans who are suffering. Like he's in a different world.

I doubt there is as much money in the kitty as there was before, so it could mean no fight rather than a pay cut. That's the bad part in this.

Well, it's certainly a pandemic given the fact that it spread across the world and is now endemic in the populations of most countries; however, you're entirely right about it never being as dangerous a pandemic as it has been advertised. Note even close. The internet, social media and the 24-hr news cycle are powerful things.

Isn’t it though? The constant fear they incite should be criminal. I can be arrested for screaming fire in a crowded theatre yet the media can invoke fear 24/7.
