Fedor and Couture meeting in Los Angeles

Talking out of your ass. As usual. Show me some evidence of this.

 

http://www.mmapayout.com/2007/09/latest-on-ufcs-negotiations-with-fedor.html

this is just one I looked up I have seen a few like this and this is not written by anyone with bias against Fedor or UFC.

Fedor could have made huge money with UFC and that was before endorsements and all the other perks that go with being a top UFC fighter......I sure hope M1 was worth it.

 

This is some Adam Smith(a random fan like u and I) writing this. This is no evidence. He mentions contract details but says "reportedly" to cover his own ass. Dave Meltzer didn't write this, at least I didn't find the "first source" from Meltzer.

Fedor made a lot more money and has his ass covered with M1. He wont get bent over and ****ed by UFC at will. Look at Randy, he's done. Friendship means ****, Dana just wants to be in good with the fighters to be in good with the fans. He's a camera hog too AKA don king. You have to really silly if you think Fedor was gona get a good deal.

Honestly, I doubt you'll bring me the source I'll trust. Firstly, because I have only seen some pansy websites/reporters post these GREAT details(Fedor wants none of Sylvia(seriously, who said that?...reportedly)). Secondly, even if you give me Dana White's quotes I stopped believing a damn word he says after he flipped and started stomping his feet when he didn't get Fedor.

 

Says you...

 

he would have easily...and everybody knows it...let's be honest your only going to believe what you want anyhow...so what's the difference how many articles of proof I show you....Dana is the Devil and Fedor escaped with his life..it's as simple as that...and what has Fedor become now?....a fukin joke and you know it!....who is he going to fight next?......another can...and you'll still think it's great because he escaped Dana's rath.....Fedor is done, stick a fork in him..he has his legacy but he should just retire instead of doing his circus acts.

 

Nobody knows it. You wanna believe it cause your on Fedor hate wagon. Dana is a ****ing businessman, and a successful one. You better ****ing believe that he's gona try and screw you over. Thats reality. Everyone knows how UFC fighters are underpaid and live from paycheck to paycheck. The only ones that get decent money are the top fighters.

Give me a good article from a legitamate source, not some punk writing this pretty much on a forum board saying "reportedly" while not providing a damned source. For all I know Adam Smith is you or on the same wagon as you are. What he said in there are some serious alligations. And if you want me to believe something(not wanting anything to do with Sylvia or picking opponents) that would make me lose a LOT of respect for Fedor than you better bring me some legitimate proof and not Adam Smith.

 

That was prior to M1 negotiations.

 

M-1 is a joke

Its just a Fedor management company. They pay Fedor his fee.. and then they rent him out to other organizations.. and then they try to get a piece of the event revenue.

Fedor's manager is a skunk.

M-1's major investors are known stock market scammers.

 

Serious question....would you like Fedor if he was convicted of murdering babies?

 

I already said, that alligations such as him not wanting to do anything with fightin Tim Sylvia or him handpicking opponents would substentially lower my respec for him. And if someone is to provide proof of that they better make it legitemate and not "Adam Smith"'s of this world...


Also, I am NOT the one who is being unreasonable. It is quite clear and obvious that a lot of people are just on a bandwagon right now. I'll also tell you that that **** stems from sherdog. About 10 months ago none of this would've happened, it would've been a much more intelligent and directed conversation with mutual understanding. Now its blabber out of people's ass who are on a bandwagon because its a cool thing to do at that point in time and you have people who will agree with. "YAY lets bash this guy now" "w00t" "w00t"... childish.

 

Again, we can only GUESS at those numbers. The way Fedor was talking about what UFC was asking for Fedor to accept stands higher for me than your opinion. I don't recall the details but generally speaking Fedor had no way out, he would've been stuck with UFC either way and if he loses, he would've been COMPLETELY ****ed. Yea, UFC has the best HW division right now and the risk of him losing IS higher. Why would he sign the contract that would simply put him beside the dumbster if he loses? M1 won't do that.

As far as Finkelstein, yea i got a good feeling that that punk is just trying to live of Fedors talent and build up his own org to have some kind of success independently. So I also take what he says with a grain(size of a rock) of salt.
