Conor haters are so retarded that they're now complaining that he isn't defending against heavyweights. Rethink your life OP.
You are so off, its silly
Add "dishonest" to words you do not understanding the meaning of
dis·hon·est:
UFC has been very upfront that those that bring in the most, get the most
- behaving or prone to behave in an untrustworthy or fraudulent way.
- intended to mislead or cheat
if anything it would be closer to "corrupt" not to pay the people that bring in the most money accordingly.
Why not just bring in as many people like CM Punk they can possibly find if that's an honest, non-fraudulent way of running a promotion that prides itself and markets itself as the home of the best fighters in the world. Pay them the most since they would draw the most viewers. Or would that be "misleading or cheating" the fighters who trained their whole lives to make it into the UFC on the basis that fighters would be rewarded on merit, on success in the ring rather than embarrassing themselves just for the sake of selling as many PPV buys as possible? Perhaps they could form a new title denoting "the champion of losing in the most entertaining ways."
You realize that is not up to UFC, right?
It's not up to the UFC if they want to pay their Heavyweight Champion the most money of any of their other so called champions? They're the only champions who aren't protected from having to fight the most dangerous fighters on the roster so since they don't hide behind weight classes so they can get a championship belt for being "good for their size" they deserve the most. The UFC was created to find out who the best fighter in the world is or as Joe Rogan likes to say: "The baddest man on the planet." I find it courageous, even inspiring that Royce Gracie not only entered those open weight tournaments despite being the size of today's welterweights (at best) but that he won as many times as he did. Practically everyone started copying at least some of his techniques after he dominated the first couple UFC PPVs. He gave up 80 pounds to Dan Severn, fought him anyway and won.
You obviously don't understand what "prize fighting" is & has been for decades
Same way you do not understand a lot of definitions.
You can feel any way you want about UFC & how it should be run, but none of it is your business (pun) & your money to be made/lost.
Any fighter with a brain cell understand when they got into MMA (not just UFC) that they are going into a BUSINESS that rewards those that earn the company more than those that earn the company less.
It is altruistic to think it is not about money, but plain foolish.
You are a decent guy but your initial premise of "why pay a guy to be a champ in his weight class, if he cannot beat heavier guys" shows you really do not have an understanding of MMA
Of course it's about money. None of them would be fighting if there wasn't money to be made. I've explained in a way that should have been almost impossible to fail to comprehend that a man who isn't merely "good considering his small stature" but is quite simply the best fighter on the roster deserves to be paid better than a man who is able to be called "champion" only because The UFC created "championship belts" for men who weren't simply the best, but instead were rewarded for being good fighters when you take into consideration their relatively small size and were protected from having to fight anyone bigger than them.
Either your reading comprehension could use serious improvement, or you just didn't seem to have an ethical or moral problem with dishonestly twisting what I posted until you came up with the following statement which the quotes you included denoted that the following were my exact words: "why pay a guy to be a champ in his weight class, if he cannot beat heavier guys"
How can a guy like Conor McGregor fairly make more money defending a belt that limits him to having to fight anyone over 155 pounds, than the real UFC Champions, guys like Coleman, Severn, and Kerr had to be ready to defend against anyone of any size? Being the best of the best should pay more than "being good for a little guy who is protected from fighting bigger guys." The real UFC Champions weren't protected from any challengers of any size. Yet they only got paid a tiny fraction of what McGregor gets paid.
The highest paid champion should be the champion who is willing to fight any challenger on the entire UFC roster. That makes that champion the best of the best. That's far more impressive than only defending a "championship" against people who all weigh between 145 and 155 pounds.
That proves you are not bright & the bold is hysterical
You don't know much about MMA to think that UFC created championships for weight classes.
Take care & feel free to get the last word in
I'll be it is inaccurate
Erm no dana said he wasnt a needle mover which was wrongWhere’s your proof the Diaz brothers are worth anything ? Nate was famously not a needle mover, he only drew big numbers fighting Conor. Nick Diaz was from fighting gsp.Nate Diaz was on practically nothing but free cards prior to fighting Conor so that itself shows his worth.
They are just two lucky idiots with overinflated egos that almost match their even more overinflated skills.
If we went by actually fighting success( which I think a lot of people say they want) then nick should be paid peanuts since he hasn’t won a fight in the ufc since bj Penn in 2011 which by the way is is sole if win. The guy is 1-3 in under the ufc banner. Any other fighter would be cut.
That’s all very well and good but the popularity doesn’t translate to what’s important which is ppv buys. Nate never headlined a ppv before conor. Most of his fights were free fox cards and shit.Erm no dana said he wasnt a needle mover which was wrong
The diaz brothers? Name a dull diaz fight? Shit every other word from their mouths gets reposted on every mma forum for days and that was all wayy before conor
If we go by fighting skills few have had an easy time with either..if we go by interest generated ,gate and ppv etc they seem to be some of the most popular fighters in mma
They pay the most money to a guy who would get destroyed by dozens of guys on The UFC roster. He's not the best fighter.
They pay the most money to a guy who would get destroyed by dozens of guys on The UFC roster. He's not the best fighter. He's successful as long as The UFC protects him from fighting bigger, better fighters. They protect him because they aren't promoting sport; they're promoting who has the loudest mouth and the most outrageous personality, neither of which have anything to do with athleticism. They're paying based on personality - not fighting ability and for a promotion that prides itself on being the leader of mixed martial arts - that's corrupt. They pay the most for attributes which have nothing to do with MMA ability.
T.S is either an old man or a WWE fan lol..weight classes are there to protect people and your talking about people who where champs before the unified rules of MMA were formed..back when this was a spectical not a sport.. do some research before creating threads
