This is what happens when you shut down the economy. When you incentivize people to not work and stay home. It’s time for Americans to get back to work. To start producing again. To maintain our status as the greatest country in the world. #helpwanted #hiring #nowhiring #economy

Looking at the replies and it's amazing how we are back to square one with regards to fans' views on why fighter pay is what it is. Also, somewhat ironic that Frank Mir was used as an example by Kevin Iole back then on how fighter pay was better than we thought.

I never understood fighters directing their ire about pay at another fighter. The problem isn’t that CM Punk got paid more even though he isn’t good, the problem is that Johnson wasn’t allowed to leverage his position as champ for more because of the way the biz is structured.

Pretty obvious why White & the UFC repeatedly say they released Ngannou - because they don't want other fighters thinking they could do the same. It's why numerous managers were telling me Francis wouldn't be able to get out of his deal - because UFC had convinced them of that.

Potentially huge. Court not only denies Zuffa's (UFC's) motions to re-open discovery but also says - if I'm reading this right - that the Court may rule on injunctive relief if Le Plaintiffs prevail.

Paul is fighting pretty much the same talent level as most boxers would at that stage of their careers. He just has the luxury of having been a youtube influencer so he can cash in on it. I guess when you're used to Joe Silva feeding you into the meat grinder it seems bad.

Either the UFC is lying, because according to them in disclosed filings the highest paid fighter in 2012 (Silva for 2 fights) made approximately $4.9m, or Chael is. Wonder who I would trust more here? (Chael supposedly got $50k & a non contracted additional $1m at UFC 148)
