You guys all know I'm no UFC defender, but we have to understand that both sides will always cite extremes that fit their narrative. Any rational person would hear Both sides and try to come to a conclusion in the middle grounds.
Id argue that 8% is a low extreme. All that said, we all know the UFC is paying jack shit. Fertittas went from 40m in the hole in 2003( or such) to selling for 4b just over a decade later.
Put that into perspective, think about how much of the pie the UFC was keeping compared to fighters. Now, with the new owners, there are massive efforts to try and keep even more of that pie. Jesus christ

Id tend to side with the lesser of 2 evils, Dana calling Bjorn a con artist is like a fat person calling a donut a vegetable. I will chose to believe that the UFC is paying 8% until I hear from fighters disputing that. Till then its a piece of shit bitch slap fight.
Bjorn is fucking scum on par with Malki... but he's dead on in this tweet. Fuck them.
So we trust bjorn with hard numbers for a private company now?
I kinda do in this instance, simply because has 5 well respected fighters in his corner.
Who would have ever thought there would be a time that we would look back and 'remember when Zuffa just threw money around all over the place?'

I've read this a few times and I still don't get it. I laughed when I read it 'cause it sounded funny. But then I realized that I didn't actually understand it.
It's true but it's not like Rebney was some fucking godsend to the fighters either when he was helming Bellator. They had their issues too
Love that analysis. I'm going to steal the veggie/doughnut bit.
Lol. Keep up bro. It's English word wizardry. I'm jealous of those skills
Locker room bonuses combined with Chuck and Matt's salaries drive this figure up to WELL over 100%.
The UFC hasn't just been scraping by, the former owners are now literally selling stuff out of their garages to help keep the whole thing going. When's the last time Dana and Lorenzo have been seen in public? They're almost certainly dead of starvation (while running these desperation garage sales).
Meanwhile the fighters continue to live it up like a gang of Mayweathers with their 4 and even 5-figure incomes.
Must be nice....enough is enough. Party time is over. Let's not make Dana and the Fertitta's starvation deaths meaningless by continuing to drown the roster in oceans of cash. Let's get the word out there and support the new owners in their noble mission to keep the UFC going by whatever means are necessary.

And that 8% it's accurate. I don't believe it includes all the bonus money or PPV buys that some fighters get.
Guys like Pettis are millionaires...but I think he's only at a 100/100 deal.
I get the point...it's more like guaranteed amount rather than discretionary amounts.

Wow good ol' Ken Pavia, whatever happened to that dude?
I know Pettis doesn't want to move out of Milwaukee, but with his millions he could at least get a fence or hire a security force Anthony Pettis speaks out after criminals targeted vehicles at his home twice: “Scary to see where the youth is at”
Agreed.
