1. I thot for sure you would have been calling me all kinds of names by now so the fact that you havent really means you earned my respect
2. I'm a fan as you are and after the crazy hype that the fight is gonna get after TUF its probably gonna hurt me too to know the fight is scrapped.
3. I knew how bad the business is, its hard to make money and as a boxing and MMA fan I see too many talented fighters and their career broke.
I would much rather see him fight Rashad but honestly can you blame the man for taking the role?
According to sources for his last fight at UFC 96, his base pay is 225k with 100k being his win bonus, he also got a 60k fight of the night award which totals it to 385k.
He's gotta pay the trainers and all the other fees and he's gonna lose a lot of that money to taxes.
With this role he's probably getting paid at least 500,000 to play such a big role and he doesnt have to get punched in the face to do it. Add to the fact that he's got that charisma and he's probably gonna charm his way to other big paying movie roles.
After years of getting kneed in the face in Japan I cant fault him for cashing out now because at worst it will be a wake up call when he returns to the cage and Rashad punches his head of his shoulders.
