The result has led to UFC fighters being by far the lowest paid athletes in term of revenue sharing. While boxers make millions for title fights, UFC fights after paying their team and other expenses often make less than accountants

I remember Gray Maynard made like 40k fighting Frankie Edgar for a world title once lmfaooo. Boxers make MILLIONS

All this so Dana White and UFC execs can be hundred millionaires

This is what libertarian economics led for UFC fighters and some still praise it. Absolute pathetic cuck behavior

Best post-fight interview of all time??

Safe to say the Overton window has shifted.

LFG.

UFC is fast tracking to Bum fights and the scabs think they're economically enlightened by competing with each other and accepting lower and lower wages for their increasingly demanding work.

They are a product of desperation being taken advantage of by the wealthy, and sabotage the only way to fix the problem (because, ya know, desperation) and then pat themselves on the back for "making it" (by accepting a shit deal).

Ya, sure bud. May as well shit on your own plate, call it dinner, and pat your back for your economic acumen. Because that'd still be smarter than sabotaging your own union.

I hope he got his copy of Ludwig Von Mises and the 6 lessons of the Austrian Economic School from the library, because his reading comprehension (and monetary compensation) isn't where it needs to be to justify spending money on literature he cannot understand.

How the fuck is Dana white gonna play 500,000 dollar hands of poker if he pays the athletes?

Reminds me of when Humboldt and Mendocino county voted against legalization in California, preventing CA from being the first in the nation to legalize.
