He said Jon Jones is paid so well he hasn't fought in 3 years but 2 seconds later he says he just did an 8 fight deal with Jon Jones who was sitting out over a money issue 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cut the crap Dana
I always want to believe him then he says things like that lol
I don’t think you’re making the point you think you are.
Both can be true
Dana been lying since 2000.
Jones had enough money to live comfortably for three years then he wanted to return to fighting and make some money cause he faced an incident that took a large portion from his money and left him almost no cash in the bank .
He either had to sell property and things he owned or return to ufc if they accepted him and some quick cash to balance his financial sheets .
Dana: "why do you think Jon jones could take 3 years off?"
Also Dana white: "jon just signed a 8 fight deal because he was having money issues."
Dana really said that in the same podcast wtf 😂😂😂😂
Over money issues means they were negotiating a contract not Jon Jones was struggling with money issues.
He knows damn well he doesn't pay well lmaooo.
Top of the card does ok. Everybody else is in the meat grinder. Sport needs collective bargaining bad.
Everybody else isnt pulling ppv buys or putting asses in seats. How are you gonna pay them more than what theyre worth? Its not as simple as collective bargaining. Most of the prelim fighters are happy to be there cuz they know theyre not draws.
That’s how it is for every combat sport. The under card fights are basically still in the minor league so they get paid as such
Makes sense
Same for…. Golf? Poker?
@@Rio-un5jl UFC cares MUCH LESS about gate and PPV buys now that they have the ESPN deal. It would help their product if guys didn’t need second jobs imo. With that being said, the product gets worse is EVERYONE is making NBA type money, nobody will want to fight😭
lol a lot of ufc fighters came out saying they are broke
This fucking man is a legend in my eyes. Bussin you guys are doing so awesome. The people you have coming on says it all. I wish you all the success. Dana White, this man is trailblazer in America for anyone learning business in this country. Love it. Awesome interview
Just another owner taking advantage of people Dana worth so much and you have to have the belt just to make ok money.
I always feel like Dana lying....but he make some damn good points.
Which points he made that were damn good?? Dude full of shit
Former UFC Champion Randy Couture could tell you the facts about Dana White.
Dana White Lost The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou Forever.
I agree
Guess that’s why Francis is still HW Champ and Jones didn’t sit out for 3 years…oh wait
Not for nothing, last five fights for Francis Ngannou, he was paid for each fight 200,000 to 350,000 Francis Ngannou got paid 600,000 for the Gane fight. Francis Ngannou left the UFC was released from his contract, and is now getting ready to make a minimum of 10 million dollars and possibly more for just one fight. It makes me a little pissed off because MMA is more dangerous than boxing and fighters are putting their lives on the line, and getting paid peanuts by the UFC. I say all fighters should get attorneys and leave the UFC and go get the real money like Francis Ngannou has done.
You’re confusing guarantee money and total pay outs. Guarantee money was 300-600k … with pay per view % he made over a million +. Legacy fighters and champions get paid a guarantee purse plus they get a percentage of pay per view sales. For example Connor mcgreggor made guaranteed 900k some fights but it turned to 10 million after the ppv share payouts
Francis is also not around real money , he is around leveraged debt. The PFL is using debt to offer big pays on star power. Example Tyson fury and Francis only sold 67,000 pay per views but Francis made a few million dollars once you include Tyson’s purse and all of the other expenses ,the event was not profitable. This is not a sustainable business model, it’s a play on debt to gain traction to another league
/ organization. Eventually this business module will crumble if it paid more than the company makes per event. Paying Francis was a business move and will not apply for very long and to other big name fighters
Gotta get Ashton Kutcher on. He’s a big fan and sports the dad merch
Will is the 🐐
The top guys in every sport get the huge money and it trickles down except maybe in NBA and soccer where it seems everyone gets good money. There are plenty of boxers who get only 2,000 for a fight
Compared to the UFC and most sports especially Rugby (which I play and aspire to be paid😭) Nfl players make a ton like practice squad players (players who can't make the official team and come in to compete for roster slots and literally do nothing excpet train with the team earn over 200k for the 18 weeks they practice with the team and they are the lowest of the low in the league paid even worse than 7th round rookies and UDFAs
Embarrassing
How many times are you guys going to promote this same interview??? Plus you guy talk more than Dana White during the interview... THUMBS DOWN 👎
Lol....bunch of commies in the comments...."reeeeeeeee! They don't make enough! Reeeeee!" ....Bussin With the Commies isn't as good of a show....but that's just my humble opinion....
Found the 🧢py
Clowns in the comments want early prelim pay to be $100K+ a fight
