I was listening to a boxing show on sirius xm called Ak and Barak. Neither of these guys watch MMA and hardly know anything about it. But when a caller asked about Jorge calling out Canelo and asked why MMA fighters always do this, Barak said " When you're the biggest name in your sport and you're only making 500,000, of course you're going to call out boxers who make 15 mil in one night." This struck me. A guy who doesn't even follow MMA knows what's in these guys' pockets.
Does Dana not understand that this is just bad optics? You want to be taken seriously as a top org when women soocer players get paid more than your champs? Doesn't mean you have to pay everyone millions, but pay your top guys. Two of your biggest stars on the biggest stage of the year. Pathetic.
Masvidal is nowhere near the biggest name in the sport. /thread
