White claimed that all of the remaining Golden Glory fighters under contract with Zuffa were cut after Overeem was released because a dispute with GG management over them being paid directly instead of the fighters. Marloes Coenen responded with this: This content is protected Turns out that she was paid directly by Zuffa, so it seems that she was in fact collateral damage from GG's fallout with Zuffa over the Overeem situation. Welcome to the Zuffapoly in MMA folks. Any fighter who doesn't spread his (or her) cheeks wide is going to get shut out of top level MMA completely.
Ummm there's a video posted by Zombie Prophet that they paid all the fighters directly, so that's one thing he didnt lie about fella Zuffa give the money to the Athletic Comission, and they pay it into the FIGHTERS account as per the rules. GG want them to pay it into the GG account, they didnt It ****ing sucks that Coenen was cut over this, and it's a shame her career is hampered by a Promoter and Manager that cant see eye to eye
Yea Dana White said he refuses to pay managers which always causes headaches with Golden Glory So you basically just proved that Dana was telling the truth
It's all to do with GG going ahead with plans to do US shows in the near future. Zuffa got wind of these plans and are cutting all ties with GG they obviously see this venture as a threat.
Whats new, Dana "The Little Hitler" White lies about everything. Can anyone show me where in the regulations stipulates that money should go through the Athletic Commission and where is says that money cant go through the management company (put in charge by the fighter themselves to handle finances).
Serious question, does every noob who posts here have to wirte some variant of ''**** Dana'' here. It's amusing and concerns me about this board turning into Sherdog at the same time
Dana already said that they were able to pay the fighters directly up to this point. He also said that GG had said that they could NOT do business like that going forward. So... how exactly is he lying? He already said that he was previously able to pay the fighters directly. I don't see a problem with Zuffa wanting to cut out greedy managers who rip the fighters off. They want to pay the fighters directly, and then let the fighters pay their own managers. What the hell is the problem with that? We are supposed to hate them for looking out for the fighters? I am not saying that all management teams are horrible rip offs. I am saying that many are... and that is the same sort of thing that is killing boxing, and leaving boxers dead broke and fighting for a fraction of what they are getting paid. Zuffa doesn't want it turning into that sort of situation and I commend them for it. Why should GG have a problem with their fighters being paid directly?
