Well he's still fighting in 10 days, so unless they shelf him AFTER that....
UFC's Anthony Johnson agrees to counseling, women's charity donation after gym incident
- Thread starter La Paix
- Start date
Yes but my view is "Did", and for that stuff they get credit to me. Fair enough though.
You don't think they STILL do good things for the sport.....keep fighter pay out of it because that is so open to opinion.
how is it open to opinion that fighters dont get paid enough? do you think they get paid too much?
I think they're in a holding pattern and at the limit of what people with Dana's education and training can do and the Fertitas are just holding with it. That's just how I see it, it's a new phase, they need real executives in Dana's position, they don't need the attention bullhorn anymore they need a lockdown strategy with partners that don't screw things up.
So they did good yes to get here, it got them here. It's not progressing beyond this with Dana in charge, he is a detriment to achieving the next phase of professionalism in the business and the branding and I've gone over it with Emery Myers, the mainstream media where I live (Toronto) considers Dana a major obstacle to them taking it seriously and will only talk about two things semi-regularly besides Dana as a "Vince Jr. dragging it into a WWE state"
Ronda (obviously) and (GSP, gone now), also Jones once (During DC feud) because it became bigger than MMA it crossed into what boxing registers with major media not covering UFC. Not even Conor came up with them.
So does the WWE, Vince listens to sycophants and won't attempt to shake things up and evolve either. The product is waiting for him to retire and give Stephanie and HHH the reigns in order to evolve again.
It's opinion because who is to say what is too much compared to the age of the sport, overhead, etc...we just don't know.....and plenty of fighters make a shit ton of money
Fair enough....I disagree, but fair enough
plenty of them make the equivalent of a minimum wage job
Minimum wage here gets you $28,800 based on 40 hours a week....so there are some fighters that might only make that, but a vast majority of them make far more....and it's the old adage, no one is twisting their arms to sign.
This is Ant Dog's second go round with anger counseling. Was ordered to 50? hours by the Cali court back in '09.
I still cackle at his Facebook post tho, sounds like every personal male friend I have. It was funny, typical.

LOL at what AJ posted. Sounds like the fat ass was just trying to get their attention by doing yoga right in front of them.
of course he is fighitng, thats what the UFC does they issue a statement then laugh about it and act like nothings happened. DV to them is a joke.
And A.J did what exactly to warrant any kind of punishment here?
I'm just curious what asshole thought that 'fining' fighters due to promotional conduct clause is acceptable? They aren't in a league nor are their 'fines' made public, they aren't employees, and the figure head of the private company uses crude language and personal insults when dealing with media and fans. Stop with the fining bullshit.
1 thread is enough for today
Yeah, this exactly. Then it becomes a political, arbitrarily punitive, absurd near-royal system of favoritism. I don't like the halfways stuff either.
Had to be punishment for someone they did not want to cut but had to get all frowny faced at.
I'm thinking it was Forrest Griffin and his "Rape is the new something or other"
