If fighters were paid more in general this might help the problem out.
Not only is the comma unnecessary but this is a terrible analogy. If TS implored that bot the winner and loser should make the same amount of cash then the analogy would make sense.
hey all, i know this might come off as a little strange, but i think you ought to hear me out before jumping to a conclusion.
let us forget about monetary compensation for a moment. let us take a look at Tim Hague vs Todd Duffee as an example. Duffee knocks out Hague in 5 seconds flat. Duffee gets this massive cheer from the crowd, a highlight reel knockout, an instant fan following, the respect of his colleagues, the praise from Dana and the adoration of people all over the world.
what about Tim Hague? he gets the humiliation of being knocked out faster than anyone in UFC history, the abuse of the crowd as he walks back to the locker room and mockery of his colleagues. oh, and for good measure Hague gets paid far less, but without Hague there would be no fight and no knockout. if Hague had done an Anderson Silva and just run away the whole fight Hague wouldn't have been knocked out and there'd be no cheering from the crowd.
i think the loser should be paid more because the loser loses so much in the way of respect and dignity.
does this not seem strange to anyone else?
Bad analogy; the janitor and I have different jobs. The fighters are doing the same thing.
Of course, my idea wouldn't work in the current UFC because of the frequency of undeserved title shots.

That isn't the reason your idea won't work. The reason it won't work is because your idea is pants-on-head retarded.Bad analogy; the janitor and I have different jobs. The fighters are doing the same thing.
