Official: UFC Not A Monoply

Not a surprise if you knew what you were talking about.

 

Sorry for raising the fact that an investigation frequently mentioned on the board has been concluded. I mistakenly thought that might be relevant.

 

Yes. You're right. I shouldn't talk about the implications of the Strikeforce buyout - one of the biggest story's of last year - because you're not interested.

If you don't want to read about then instead of bitching how about you just don't ****ing read it?

 

Please show me these pointless threads I've created.

NB: Actually to save you the task I went through quickly myself. The last thread I started was on December 4th to publicize a magazine I had an article in and the one before that was to start the discussion about GSP-Diaz being off. So you are completely out of line and I think you owe me an apology.

On your broader points no I do not think that everyone is interested in this topic, that's why I didn't force anyone to read it. It is however a big story and worthy of bringing to people's attention. That's why ESPN, MMA Fighting, Sherdog and MMA Junkie have all picked it up. I do not think that everyone on here hates Zuffa nor do I think everything they do is brilliant. Why you have felt the need to resort to these lies because somebody dared to post something you weren't interested in is beyond me.

 

Why would I PM a breaking news story? Surely the whole point of this board is to discuss breaking MMA news? And if two people disagree on a matter of substance then why would they start PM'ing - again surely having that discussion is the point of the discussion board? You accuse me of only caring about a couple of posters but you seem to be saying that if it doesn't directly interest you it shouldn't be posted.

Sigh.

I will in future try to ensure that everyone I post only interests you. Wouldn't want you to suffer the agony of having to scroll down past something that doesn't immediately grab your attention.

 

Quite. I'm not sure if the UFC is a de facto monopoly and I certainly think its got to the extent that collective bargaining is needed to stop it screwing over fighters, but the idea put forward by some that the government was going to intervene was always a non-starter.
