Because Chuck never ducked a fight and made Dana millions...
I never blamed Dana for that one though, that was the right decision. In fact, John Hackleman SHOULD have forced Chuck to retire. I think Chuck would've listened to him.
Literally every other major star that's fought under the UFC banner has had a problem with Dana at some point. Randy, Tito, BJ, Wand, Jones, Anderson, even GSP!!! So why not Chuck?
I know Dana used to manage Chuck and I know they were friends. But Dana's been friends with a bunch of his fighters before and they usually end up mad at each other at some point. And Dana managed Tito at the same time he managed Chuck and we all know how Dana and Tito fell out.
So really, what was the difference between Chuck and every other major star that's ever fought for Dana?
Thoughts?
Probably because Chuck knows the score better than a lot of guys. I don't think Chuck is the kind of guy that has grand illusions that he's bigger than the sport.
Chuck got really pissed at Dana once. Pretty entertaining tbh
Why didnt Dana just keep paying Chuck 100k+ out of his own pocket to rep the UFC. Greed.

Thats probably it. I don't recall Chuck and Hughes having major disagreements, pulling out of a fight, that sort of thing.Because Chuck never ducked a fight and made Dana millions...

I've thought about that myself. Dana could for sure afford it. But then it becomes like ok, when does that stop? I mean if I was Dana, no matter how much I thought Chuck deserved the money for everything he's done......I wouldn't be ok watching Chuck throw all that money away on coke and whatever else. ya know?
I think Chuck really just wanted to fight and didn't care all that much about other shit and just trusted Dana would take care of him financially.
