It's fun watching the mental gymnastics and goalpost shifting of anti-UFC shills.
Before it was:
- Francis turned down the UFC bag to take a stand against their exploitation of fighters because Francis has INTEGRITY!
- Let me breakdown UFC's business profits in glorious detail and show you why Francis deserves a much bigger piece of the pie!
And when Francis kowtows to the Saudi Royals and his PPV was reported to have sold abysmally, all of a sudden it turns into:
- The only thing that matters is Francis getting the bag!
- The business realities of the event doesn't matter because Francis deserves to get paid this much regardless!
So Francis turned down the UFC bag to take a stand against exploitation......in order to grab a bigger bag from people engaged in 100x worse exploitation because of...integrity?
So PPV balance sheets really matter when it comes to deciding how much Francis should get paid......unless if the PPV didn't do well in which case the balance sheets do not maddur because Francis deserves to get overpaid.
