Ufc 151 officially cancelled

Stop spreading all of your fights over 100 ppv's a year, Dana.

Blaming a fighter because he couldn't find a good back up fight is tacky. :nono

If I was in Jones' shoes I'd have said "Bring me the contract and I'll bring you his head.". To me, the scenario was far in Jones' favor. - Josh Barnett

As I said earlier, they dont make up like they used too

 

Josh is a ****ing warrior! :deal

 

Diffferent era. Guys in Josh's era fought for peanuts. And most of all they fought because they loved it. MMA has changed. And while i back Jones stance he's not cut from the same cloth as old school fighters who fought on a dime.

 

It's like MMA has gone from the attitude of Marciano to Mayweather in about 5 years, God bless corporate sports

 

When guys start making big money this is what happens. Jones has many interests to look after. Dana can scoff at him all he wants. But when your backed by a major advertiser like Nike you're clearly a businessmen and someone who's doing something right.
The UFC has no problems making money out of their fighters. But then wants to berate fighters for protecting their own interests, even if that conflicts with the company's interests. When your options are soo slim its not surprising Jones is willing to play it safe. Like you rightly say its a business first that makes money out of sport.

 

Zuffa can buy all the rival promotions they want, but I wonder if there is going to come a time before they realise they need the Marquee names more than they need them

Cant see the happening in the US though

 

Dana will be angry at Jones for as long as he was angry at Silva after the Maia fight. Soon as he starts bringing in the $$ again all will be forgiven.

 

True dat, will the Jackson Camp be happy with Dana though...for the time being they will have to grin and bear it though

 

Nope Jones has to go protect Dana White's money. **** your business, Dana White's money is more important.
