Fucking America, always trying to turn mma into a team sport. Nobody fucking tried to make team boxing did they you dipshits?
With a 50/50 revenue split and all those benefits, I would assume they will have fighters lined-up around the block with interest. Sure up and comers will want to fight on the biggest stage, but I have to imagine there are plenty at the middle stages of their career who would be really interested in the pension and ensuring their second act is the best choice to take care of their families. Who knows though.I cant see this lasting more than one show.What fighters are out there to choose from? Gonna need a TV deal in place.
Sounds good on paper but they're going to have to have a massive amount of upfront capital AND know that they're going to lose their asses for a while AND be fine with a few middle tier cast-offs as their headliners. Because they're still going to have to deal with existing contracts that effectively have every big name fighter locked down for a bit.With a 50/50 revenue split and all those benefits, I would assume they will have fighters lined-up around the block with interest.

I hope they can figure something out and provide a good alternative but I have a feeling this will be more of a quick cash grab by the people raising the funds.Sounds good on paper but they're going to have to have a massive amount of upfront capital AND know that they're going to lose their asses for a while AND be fine with a few middle tier cast-offs as their headliners.

But will you tip the fighters via the not at all sketchy “TapStats” app during those events?I will not River those events.
I will tip 50 dollars to any fighter that looks in the camera and yells “ @Splinty pees sitting down!” after a victory.But will you tip the fighters via the not at all sketchy “TapStats” app during those events?
Hey @Allen_TapStats I found you another customer. Where’s my finder’s fee?
Looks like it's time for another Cameo...I will tip 50 dollars to any fighter that looks in the camera and yells “ @Splinty pees sitting down!” after a victory.
Are you telling me Ariel was involved in sensationalizing something?!?!?
Yes you're right. We should continue allowing the monopoly that is the UFC to pay athletes less than 20% of their profits while athletes in other major sports with a CBA get 50%.Fucking America, always trying to turn mma into a team sport.
