Isn't that the entire reason to be here?



It’s been done to death, you know I disagree. No reason to go on about it.

It’s like this imo, Conor is special. He has a load of fans. But if he was a chef, he could be considered the best white sauce alfredo maker in the world, but I don’t like white sauce Alfredo. Ya dig? So even though he’s beloved, I don’t agree. His treatment is ridiculous. I’m not changing my mind, and I am totally ok with people disagreeing with me.

Not trying to stab at you personally.

You're so dense. Too peabrained to actually try to comprehend why conor gets paid more so cry because others don't get paid the same when they generate a very small fraction of the amount of revenue as him



I disagree, but I really don’t care what you think.

This isn't a game of " hehe I THINK you're wrong xd" it's basic economics. If you work for a company and you bring in $300k/yr worth of value to that company, who do you think is gonna get treated better, you or the janitors/whoever is at the bottom of the totem pole?

majority of Conor's wealth comes from his contract with sponsors/UFC

he's not helping other fighters

GSP didn't help Anderson Silva make more money when he was the star

Professional sports isn’t a regular company. Stop acting like you know what running a million dollar business is about.

You can debate all day about conor's skill set and him as a person/personality but numbers don't lie. He generates tons of money and free publicity for the company. He is probably the sole reason the company got a deal with ESPN and he was the first fighter to be heavily discussed on every mainstream sports show across all networks. That brings in tons of value worth of free publicity for the company.


Stop asking why "x" fighter at the bottom of the roster isn't making the same as conor, jbj, gsp, or other superstars and compare it to the pay and treatment "x" fighter would've gotten 10+ years. They're probably receiving indirect benefits from what those superstars have done for the sport.

I never said I run a million dollar business. This is such rudimentary shit that it should be common sense but clearly you and other Bernie supporters don't understand money doesn't grow on trees and the whole world can't get paid and treated equally

Ronda was a massive reason why hollywood bought UFC

edit:

Fox literally got rid of UFC for WWE
