What does "from a trusted source" mean?
How much do you guys "trust" tweets like this?
Are these tweeter warriors just feeding the fire? Just for re-tweets and popularity?

It makes sense. Maybe the % is off a bit maybe it isn't. But why would a company sign an exclusive sponsor only to take $0 from it? That doesn't make business sense at all.
Just that alone makes me pretty damn sure Egg of Greed is lying through his teeth.

I believe it. Not because FRB is unimpeachable, but because I'm cynical.
What troubles me and I'm sure many of us fans is that, in ten years, when we start to see the deep effects of their battles on our most beloved fighters, many will be broke and DW will still be getting snow imported to Vegas at Xmas.

i believe the percent is pretty close. look at how it's been broken down. there's been a few posts on it, and jimmo went through it on that podcast. there is a lot of money missing.
who is jimmo?
Does he work at Zuffa?

he's the fighter that's been very vocal about this deal. most others have been silenced, but he isn't letting them shut him down.

here's the link to the podcast thread where he goes through the numbers.

Good for him. It's too bad this deal has hurt the fighters.
I'm just not okay with twitter warriors trying to make news with words like "trusted source", like FRB is some type of investigative reporter.
Break news or don't! Stop the piggy backing and report some real shit!!
It all seems like teen gossip, but at least it got me talking about it.
Sooooooo........ mission accomplished FRB.
Sigh........

lol.... this is true, but jimmo told these numbers a week ago, so that may be his trusted source. i hope he's just trying to draw more attention to it, and not taking credit for breaking old news.
Thanks.

you're more than welcome.
I'm still conflicted about FRB.......Does anyone know how he get's his information etc? How has got these connections?
Me too!! Anyone can say "trusted sources"
It would be nice of Zuffa/UFC to increase fight night bonuses to make up for these pile of shit sponsorship money.
he is friends witrh chael and has a podcast with filthy tom lawler. he was the one who broke the jon jones car accident story with bloodstain lane. he has also been wrong quite a few times before
But what's the point of breaking news on twitter?
I don't understand the attraction.
he used to break news on the ug but then he got ran off.all news breaks on twitter or reddit first these days
