Strikeforce In Talks With Fedor And Management

You havent got much of a clue have you you stupid child? :roll:

 

Overeem has always gassed quickly. Now he's on a shed load of hormones he's even worse. The heavies have simply got old and not been replaced. And Barnett is ranked as the 2nd best heavy off the back of his days in PRIDE. That being said since PRIDE was bought the talent that was coming through has been fragmented badly with guys either not fighting or fighting for non-descript organisations that arent easily accesible.

 

The main thing here is that StrikeForce is willing to sign him to a non-exclusive contract and give him exposure on CBS. Two things Dana White and the UFC either can't (CBS) or won't (non-exclusiveness) offer.

Why would you want to be tied to one of the UFC's slave contracts where you have an idiot like Dana White telling you:

who can and can't sponsor you
what movies and other appearances you can do
won't let you compete in other MMA disciplines (Sambo)

Basically fighter that are tied to the UFC can't wipe their own ass without getting the OK from Dana White and he does not treat all fighters equally either.

 

Rampage used to crack jokes about the UFC pay.
U Fight Cheap

He aint sayin **** anymore.


You're ******ed to think Fedor wouldn't earn more in the UFC. The only reason this isnt gonna go through is because Fedor's manager is a rat. The guy gets a million dollar "consulting fee" per event. Copromotion my ass.. they slap their logo's on and take home a bunch of money with no risk. What a partner to have.

 

No but he might have to go there if he wants to pick up a decent paycheck or two.

 

Not true at all if fedor has an non exclusive contract he can make more, sure the ufc might make him alot of money but with a non exclusive contract he can have big one off fights in japan, russia, america that will make him alot of money.

 

Nobody can afford to pay fedor what a ppvshare in the ufc would pay him.

Russia? Who the hell is paying money in russia? Jap orgs are almost dead.

 

Fedor will make at StrikeForce just as much as he would with the UFC and he would not be tied to a slave contract. If you fight with the UFC they basically own your name and image and you are not free to do with it what you want. Look at this silly video game situation that came out a few weeks ago with White threatening his fighters if they signed on. It is pathetic.

 

I wouldnt go as far as saying almost dead. MMA just aint as hot as it was in Japan. If Satoshi Ishii starts well and is built up well then he could be the Japanese star which gets MMA in Japan going in the right direction again.

 

They obviously can.

 

Finkel contract demands are way worse then the UFC's he demands co-promotion...what the **** is that ? Why would the UFC co-promote with some shitty M1 global company that nobody gives a **** about.

Fedor will be difficult to sign by anybody...with his demands it's very difficult to make money.
