Dana White rants about 'idiot' Oscar De La Hoya
- Thread starter thismybgolname
- Start date
Nothing like competition to help the fighters get better pay. And to have Dana come out telling there business model. Normally he would say it's nobody's business.
I actually caught this live
My thing is this...
If ESPN supposed to be a legit spots news entertainment network
They should have ALREADY had those NUMBERS Dana shouting confirmed and available
A LONG time ago.

Fuck em both.
2 pimps who pay most of their fighters peanuts on the way to tbi(s)...Fuck Dana 2x for keepin trump's dick in his mouth..
Yeah, basically one muthafucka is saying,"Come over here and let me fuck you with this smaller dick". That Reebok deal fucked up everybody's money, but the UFC's.
I do lie seeing the uniform look they have now though.
Why?
How would espn get access to a private companies financial records?
I dunno. Looks better when they come in with a uniform look. My opinion isn't something they have to care about though lol.
Also for those who don't get their own sponsorship, they have a built in one when they make it. But again, I've not really gotten to hear all the arguments for and against the whole setup. So for those who don't want it and that it affected negatively, I sympathize. Again, I'm sure my sympathy font make a difference lol
I haven’t heard one single argument from a fighter for the Reebok sponsorship. It stripped the up-and-comers of serious money and the top guys were getting the big money anyway because they were at the top. It took away individual personality in a one-on/one sport. Makes no sense other loading the UFC’s pocket.
I have from those who couldn't get one from.somewhere else. And since I heard that without even looking , I know there could possibly be some that I haven't heard. The reason I haven't heard many on either side is because I'm not a fighter and it isn't really my business. I want fighters to make as much money as they can, and the only way I can truly contribute to.that is so PAY for their fights which I have recently started doing , instead of coming here for links. When I did hit links, I may not know everything Dana White is d9ijg for them, or not, but I knew how I was dreaming from both of em. I don't do that anymore. Now all I can do is wish em the best of luck.
Oscar was the wrong messenger but as a MMA fan its pretty obvious that fighters are under paid and under represented
- i would love to know how much of the profits the UFC shares with its fighters? Most major sports like the NFL, NBA, MLB etc share in the 50/50 range (btw does sports have unions)
- the fighters are 'independent contractors' but they have no representation and cant fight for other organizations while under contract
- the top fighters make good money but the average to below average fighters who fill out a card or fight on the prelims often make around 10-20k. That sounds like decent money in a vaccum but they only fight around 4 times a year max and they have to pay for their camp and their staff
- why has Dana been so opposed to a union if he feels he treats his fighters fairly
- why did the UFC make the Reebok deal without bringing the fighters in the loop. before the deal they were able to make supplemental money advertising themselves. now they all wear reebok. The UFC wins, big name fighters are still doing good but what about the other fighters
When one of the other leagues produces a Conor Mcgregor, a Ronda Rousey, a Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley or any other level name and earner as them, we will see. As it is , they've made money for some people in the fighting world, where there was none before.
There's ONEFC on the rise, Bellator, and some other smaller leagues out there people can join, but there must be a net gain fighter see in coming to this league. And all this is AFTER the Reebok deal happened. They can say what they want, but it's clearly the best game in town.
They've said all that before. dana addressed that ON the same show.
I wonder how much money Holly Holm was making as a boxer. She got up to 500k before PPV as champ in the ufc. I wonder if she ever even got PPV as a boxer.
Same for Israel Adesanya or anyone else who can from the kickboxing world. Or the wrestling world. Or the must Thai, BJJ world.
Women Mma fighters DEFINITELY make more in the ufc than women boxers, especially champs.
Obviously boxing , which is 100 some odd years older than Mma and was once America’s sport , makes more money, especially for champs. The average nobody out there makes peanuts,
Conor McGregor stepped in and made more than most boxers right off top, getting the fight with the biggest name in boxing.
Like it or not, Dana is the one who made it so ANY of them can get money. And with each star the checks have risen.
But I still ain’t too happy about the sponsorship thing. I can see arguments for them to be on their own.
