Margarito got $2.3Mill, Shane got $1Mill, Arlovski got $1.5 Mill!!

And you don't think when that time comes the UFC will just up the pay scale to compete no? :think

 

Dana White exploits his fighters and treats them like whores.


ALSO - Just bringing this up, but wasn't the Aflication card a PPV event, and the Margarito vs Mosley fight was regular HBo World Championship Boxing?

 

I think the time is here. Affliction is paying way better, and if UFC didn't have all these guys under contract they would be over there getting paid.

 

Shane and Margo made the same amount in that fight they both made 2.3 million not sure were you got your infor.

 

I agree.

Fighters will use UFC for exposure, but the talent will slowly move where the money is. And with Affliction's affiliation with GBP, look for them to take over the entire "Combat sport" scene.

 

And my original question still remains unanswered. Do you or do you not think when the possibility of losing fighters will hit them hard that UFC will pay better? Yes or No.?

 

They already have lost fighters and missed their chance at signing the best HW in the world.

 

No chance. You have any idea how business works?

Let me tell ya:good

Company A monopolizes a sport for as long as possible, buys up rivals etc tries hard to wipe out the competition. Then company B arrives. If company B survives it needs to pay better bucks in order to attract the talent. Now, assuming company B can't be bought/wiped out when Company A sees that this is happening what do you think it'll do?

A) Let company B gather speed buying up all the talent from company A and become successful while company A goes down the shitter or

B) Pays an equal amount or more to keep the talent.

Vote now!!

For the record, if you vote A you're a dip ****.

 

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see these arrogant mother****ers choose option A like they did with Fedor and then still try to claim they have the better fighters.

 

It's business. They have to up the pay scale to keep the fighters. It breeds good competition sure. But you know what the downside is?

3 top fighter in 3 companies, fans dying to see them fight each other and you now what? Ain't going to happen. How does that prospect sound to ya?

Remember, this ain't boxing where WBC, WBA and IBF cross swords. This is independent companies trying to supply the best product with the talent they have.

Don't get me wrong, if a cross company match making policy happens It's all good. If it doesn't we'll rarely see best v best. Worst case scenario of course.

 

I think it will end up just like boxing, and I've been saying this for a while.

 

**** MMA

 

What my man here said!:yep

 

He got it from the L.A. Times which got it from the official CSAC report.
