No one wants to see him fight,win or lose.
Last time I checked sports was an entertainment industry.Lol who the hell cares what some broke ass fans think?
Fans liking you does not automatically translate to big paydays
What ARE guaranteed paydays are CHAMPIONSHIP fights.
MMA has the most garbage fans.
Tyron isn't wrong. You guys prefer these guys to put their health on the line and fight for peanuts so that they can look like "badasses", instead of getting the best deal that they can.
If the UFC looked out for fighters better then Tyron wouldn't have to look out for himself so much
Ahhhhh, I'm so happy to see so many people hating on Woodley. I was criticizing him hard back in October/November, and people kept arguing with me that "he fought 4 times in 13 months". While this is technically true, he also had a 2 year layoff before that 4 fight streak. It's not as hard for fighters to stay active following a long layoff.
I'm 100% sure that Tyron had a lot of bills to pay after that 2 year layoff, which likely factored into his activity during that time. After the 2nd Wonderboy fight he probably had a little more financial freedom, and now he's set to go a year without fighting, possibly more.
He didn’t take 2 years off, Woodley spent them complaining and whining for a TS.
Him tweeting that RDA is fighting Colby for nothing and fighters “getting played” is the completely wrong attitude. Fans like fighters who fight, not wait out for the best matchup and most money while making crap excuses.
He's doing fine.
Got you triggered and talking.
Sherboys hate Woodley all day erry day. They can't stop won't stop being triggered. Sad.
Got the joint most defences of any champ on the roster except DJ, all against number one contenders and you guys still shit on him?
Tyron is a true champ and people don't like him because he speaks his mind rather than promotional bullshit.
Same people that hate on Tyron hate on McGregor for not defending and talking a ton of shit; essentially not acting like Tyron. Y'all are a funny bunch.
Can't an argument be made though when you're in Woodley's situation getting fans on your side means people will shell out for tickets and PPVs and thus your value goes up which means you can get paid more.Lol who the hell cares what some broke ass fans think?

I disagree with the last partnot every fighter has the energy or personality to be a self-promoter.
woodly is an attention whore. why else would you have a "show" on TMZ. he wants to be a celebrity.
most men don't want to be celebrities. they want to provide for their families and raise their kids.
That's not true. If more people actually wanted to watch him then the PPV's he is on would have increased sales which would not only increase his own PPV points, but would give him better leverage during contract negotiations for an increased guaranteed show money and win-bonus.Fans liking you does not automatically translate to big paydays
You can criticise whoever you want, sir. I think Tyron gets a hard time considering he's been the most active champ aside from Stipe. I like that he doesn't just say what the audience wants to hear, and it looks as though he trains hard as hell. As a fan, that's all I'm really looking for.So, we're not allowed to criticize someone who's acting like an assclown?
Keyword that you omitted from my post was "doesn't automatically translate to big paydays "That's not true.

The perfect example is the scrapping of his fight vs GSP. He lost that chance when he fought to tentatively against Maia. The crowd were booing him for the third consecutive time for being boring, and he lost out on what could've been the biggest payday of his career. Not only the payday for the fight, but think of the fame that would come with a win over GSP, leading to yet more money...
So to say fans liking you doesn't lead to big paydays is totally false.
