[quote comment="178072"]There is ONLY ONE WAY for the UFC to listen and THAT is for EVERY SINGLE fighter to boycott and go on strike, think about it. All fighters sit out, UFC would be totally fcuked!! They would crumble. I hope Dana White is fired that greedy bold bitch that he is![/quote]
[quote comment="178440"]dana really needs to grow up and start acting his age. your company is trying to become a mainstream sport and he is out their making this assanine quotes about bitch slapping some hollywood agent. I love the ufc and hope it stays around forever but with this guy as the president i dont know how much longer it will be around and i dont think it will be mainstream for long. The ufc pulls in about 3 mil in live gate every card and about 30-40 mil in ppv buys and they pay their fighters like crap i mean this should be expected. I mean your fighter payout is usually around 2 mil per ppv card and your income is around atleast 35 mil. what is all the other money going to? personally i have no clue where that money is going but i think more of it should be going to the fighters thats for sure. How do you have two guys in a number one contender fight for example koscheck vs. st. pierre and have one guy in st. pierre making $140,000 and koscheck only makes $10,000. I also agree with randy about fighters coming into the organization and making more money than him before they even prove themselves in the ufc how does mirko 1-2 in the ufc make $350,000 per fight and the champion/ufc ambassdor randy couture only make $250,000 for a heavyweight title defense? Dana white needs to straighten up his act or he is going to see his organization take a big hit. Many fighters look up to randy and i think many fighters will follow in his foot steps and their is already an example in dan henderson not signing the first extension that dana offered him saying he was not offered fair compensation. If you want the top fighters in the world your going to have to pay them top dollar i dont see what dana doesnt understand about that.[/quote]

DANA WHITE ROYALLY STINKS

THE UFC NEEDS A NEW “EL PRESIDENTE”

AND THE MMA WORLD ESPECIALLY DA FIGHTERS NEED A COMPETITOR COMPANY BETTER THAN IFL ELITE XC>>>>

COMPETIOTION IS GOOD, there woudl be no burger king without a Mcdonalds, and i frequent both, each is a lil’ different

CAN DANA WHITE STEP DOWN THAT ARROGANT PRICK, LYING TO A DESCENT MAN RANDY C. DANA WHITE IS A LIAR AND IS LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE VINCE MCHMAN OF THE WWF

DANA DO YOU WANNA BE A F-#ing PRESIDENT?
HE’s AN AROGANT PRICK

The ufc definately needs to smarten up as they earn million every ppv and pay the fighters jack, and now they lost thier most marketable fighter and heaveweight, u just watch and see if the silva liddel fight happens and just watch if it does chucks payday will be huge despite a win, i think he (chuck) made a half million for losing to the dean of mean, anyways they ned a union cause the ufc opeartes out of vegas which mean they pay little to no tax, so somewhere theres a vault full of money, and even if they(ufc) are all about money as they should be as its a business, why hasn’t the purchased pride organization had a ppv or had any of its notable fighters signed??? all thye di was unify one title.

the ufc needs a shot in the arm and i don’t see any excitting dynmic fighter that can do it unless the fedor randy fight happens

where tito when u need soemone to speak their mind, think about this what randy did was way out of character so i guess the problem was getting worse as hr mentioned fighting with management and swimming up stream.

thats my 2 cents, rawbt

[quote comment="176699"]I think Randy is acting like a selfish child! I thought this sport was about MMA and the fans–NOT THE MONEY!!!!!!!![/quote]

When Randy can’t feed himself or independently use the bathroom at age 60 because of repeated blows to the head, he will need all of the money he earned when he sacrificed his health. (I hope and pray that nothing like this happens to Randy, but look at the old NFL players who are broke and broken)

The fact is that the money IS being generated. Who deserves the money more? The person who is actually fighting and risking his health and maybe his life should be compensated.

The business men who made all of this possible should be insanely wealthy, because they risked a lot of money to make this work. However, they should also pay a lot more than they do.

They cannot be compelled to pay more. They are correct to get as much as they can for as little cost as possible. Randy is showing great leadership by giving back the belt and taking a stand. That is the only leverage the fighters have.

[quote post="3583"]I think to an extent it is a bit selfish to walk away from the fans of the UFC who have been behind him since he started fighting…[/quote]

He’s 44 freakin’ years old. He’s supposed to keep fighting until he gets KTFO’d by some up-and-comer?
