Ariel always criticizes the UFC but when it comes to the PFL, WWE, BOXING he never speaks about the bad things reported on them buy their fighters or employees, when Dana slap his wife he went on a rant but when the McMahon sex trafficking came up he didn't speak about it because he didn't knew all the details!
This could not be further from the truth.
100% right
Cuz he's a 🐍
PFL is a disaster. All those fighters thinking they had a new home. Turns out they're living in a tin-roofed shack.
UFC always wins.
@michaelthomas8147 and that's bad and sad. I hate to say it (as a UFC fan) but there has been no other good soild since Pride, Strikforce, Old (Bellator) been bought. PFL is disappointing and Combate Global is a glorified Regional promotion masking itself as a major .
@@charleswebsterjr.6350 Strikeforce around 2010/2011 and Bellator under Bjorn Rebney = GOATed.
Ariel, you need to address the PFL not honouring the 1 million and Baki not getting his full purse
He literally had Gegard on 20 minutes after to talk about PFL not honoring contracts tf 😅
Not the same as them just not paying a guy his full purse after he fought and won or addressing why they aren’t honoring the million dollar tournament prize that I assume was contractually agreed upon by the fighters entering the tournament.
@@swiiper_the_fox I just listened to the whole Gegard interview and they didn’t talk about Baki/the 1 million
@@dynamic283 but he brought up Gegards situation which spoke to the financial status of PFL which gives you a reason as to why Baki isn’t getting his money. I get y’all want him to have a strong opinion on the matter and choose a side but you have to also understand he is getting two sides of the story. It’s not like Ariel doesn’t bring up those sort of questions or issues directly with the people involved.
Ariel conveniently forgot to address why PFL would not honor the million dollar prize. Also Baki never getting paid. But hes fair and honest 🤣
This is blatant anti-UFC bias, Ariel might address the million dollar prize not being honered in the future but he will never speak about Baki because he has a (legitimate) win over his favourite fighter Doumbe. Ariel talks about basketball shows being biased against his favourite team and how they should be down the middle, yet he doesn’t do that same thing he’s asking for from another show on his own show.
It's funny when heelwani talks about other orgs, he's more diplomatic, but ufc he's straight up hating. So so obvious. 😂
he did mention it earlier.
@@dynamic283 I usually don't defend Ariel but if you honestly knew how Dana White treated him, do you really blame Ariel?
UFC bad everyone else good
The fact that PFLator is pre-emptively calling the media ahead of upcoming fighter interviews speaks volumes. Imagine if it was the UFC doing this kind of thing, the media will have a field day with this.
Ariel on ufc fighter pay- they dont pay theyre fighters enough blah blah blah. Ariel on pfl not paying they're fighters- these things happen in a new company 😂 what fookin 🤡
Dude none of these other organizations make the money ufc makes in fact I’ll go as far as to say they probably don’t even make a profit
Look at it like this the ufc is the mlb or nba. Do you see anyone taking about the minor league or g league players pay? No because no one watches them so no one cares
@PoopythePlumber Nah its like The Big 3, they get a decent enough crowd and ratings to pay their players well. Just Sucks PFL is ran and supported by rats so the money just gets funneled to the top
@@PoopythePlumber PFL is burning money fast, its making huge losses but thats not the point, they tried to paint themselves as the fairest MMA organization out there and pay whats fair yet they are doing exact opposite.
@PoopythePlumber that is irrelevant when PFL has gone on record saying they will pay more and be treated better. They have treated legends like Mousasi and Lima like utter trash and not even paying Baki is full purse is absolutely criminal. Scam of an organization it's absolutely pathetic
Seems like Ariel only cares about UFC fighter pay not mma fighter pay.
hes still salty over the ufc. dana 10-7 for life
Okay i see, you're against Dana White & the UFC underpaying fighters; but not the other organisations.. Wtf
If the UFC was making the same terrible moves as PFL, Ariel would be on hear calling Dana White "a thief, a coward, ect" but PFL does it and Ariel gives them the utmost respect 😂😂😂
I swear yall dont actually listen to everything he says.
PFL paying Francis too much so now they can’t afford to pay other fighters
That was a horrible business decision getting 38 year old Francis.
This is most tap dancing around a topic Ariel has done in quite a while
Can you imagine how differently reported this would have been if it was the UFC
If Ariel believes some contract can be modified in the 11th hr of an M&A deal without PFL’s legal team being aware, he needs to STFU about business forever
a contract is a contract... you buy them all when you buy the promotion... the good with the bad. its crazy to even humor the notion.
PFL is bleeding money from every seam. There is no way they are even anywhere near profitability. Like Dana has said a million times, there have been many MMA organizations that start up and throw a bunch of money around and they never last. You can't just buy a couple promotions and throw a bunch of money at it and try to make it big and compete with the UFC. It needs to be slowly home grown and properly built if anyone wants to have a chance. Honestly, I see someone like Cage Warriors having a better chance as they have a big following.
Or Oktagon, i dont watch much but they are massive in europe
Cage warriors is good but all the fights end up being short notice
Did he actually criticize PFL
No lol he swept it under the rug
Swept It under the rug UNBELIEVABLE
The crack of the PFL must be pretty big
Thank you for the time clips, wouldnt be possible to watch without
i know a few lads that work the pfl , theyre constantly chasing them up to pay there wages from what ive heard they take months to pay there guys
Pfl bought the contracts they need to honor them. How do you buy a promotion without going over the contracts?
They must be playing dumb or didn't think it through the whole way.
Is anyone else super tired of the questions such as “heheh if you frank and GC….(insert dumb question here) like stuck on a desert island or who would win in a fight”
Can we get this segment back to serious questions already? No one cares what everyone’s favorite food is
Literally nobody cares about Ariel or these other guys he's trying to make a thing. Stop trying to make new York pric a thing
They pick softball questions
I like those questions
The food questions are the worst
Anthony Pettis received $750k for his June 2022 fight and is def on the decline. Gegard has much more left in the tank than Pettis.
Ariels gross.....
Ariel has exposed what he really is here
What would that be?
@@Vex319 A RAT 🐀
@@Vex319 rat
@@Vex319 a spineless promoter shill.
Damn. Bro is a member and even he admits the snake like behavior. Big yikes.
JUSTICE FOR BAKI
Better question what happen to Francis or is that the answer 😂
to anyone here for ufc related stuff: there were just a few questions on that topic, and not very much meat on the bone at all. this on the nose is pretty skippable imo
It’s becoming pretty insufferable
A little rich to be asking the NBA guys to call it down the middle when y’all don’t.
so PFL is Fyre festival? okay
"There's always two sides" unless it involves Dana, then theres one side
Clear to see Ariel doesn’t want to jeopardize his relationship with PFL like he did the UFC so he won’t say anything negative about them.
no timestamps or chapters? 😕
It's there lol
@@alloverdaplace2043 it wasn't when i posted
The input from the ‘Louaville’ guy has got to be the funniest part of this episode 😂
Keep that same energy. Haven't watched yet.
I’m cool with “a” player (like Reggie, and maybe it’s because I’m biased being an Indiana resident) being biased for their career long team in the playoffs, but not the entire broadcast team. I would be cool with Mark Jackson being biased for the Knicks, just the same. Obviously not over the top, but still being passionate for the teams they’ll always be connected with is actually a cool thing to me. But you’re right, the whole broadcast team can’t be like that. And those that are biased need to keep it reasonable.
Ariel is a great interviewer, best in the business, but my god the bitterness towards UFC is annoying. If it was UFC doing these things he would be the first one to jump on that.
they leveraged their whole company to acquire francis ngannou.. and bellator..now there’s nothing left to pay out
You couldn’t pay me to listen to draymond, and I love inside the nba
Chalupa is better than gordita only if they are fresh. Stale chalupa shells are a crime
what is pfl
In a transaction like this, cited specifically for talent acquisition, there would or should be a clause regarding the assumption of existing contracts and requirements for any renewals prior the deal closing. A competent transaction would have an initial signed intention of the transaction and would address contract assumption and renewals prior to closing of the transaction and should have contained a clause that both parties had to agree to any renewals prior to closing for renewals to be valid. If they didn’t have that included then tough cookies, sue your lawyer for malpractice to not include a basic provision of a merger of this magnitude, and honor the deals OR offer full releases to not trap fighters. But not a good look for the entity that said everybody was welcome onboard and emphasizes themselves as fighter first
Nice to see Guram
don is clearly using pfl to launder and flip
4:30: PFL ought to pay the fighters. PFL then ought to hold back any fighter compensation it deems to be "excess" from the earnout component of Bellator's purchase consideration (assuming there is an earnout component. PFL's deal due diligence was poor given that it allowed this to happen.
Pay The Moose.
Loved ur take on NBA on NBC. That was classic
Didn't ariel hitch to pfls nuts in order to bash the ufc...well....and now
Why don't' they start at 5pm to 8pm? Just that little bit earlier really helps the EU fans but a totally decent time for an event to be starting, with time for a decent drink or some food after.
and this would also give the hardcore fans an afternoon out if also watching fightpass prelims and prelims.
Arial I’m 40 years old been watching mma for just as long as you I actually watched ufc 1 with my dad on ppv and from day one you have been calling out Dana and the payment of fighters! Now we have heard 3 different accounts of fighters getting screwed by PFL 2 on your channel. 1/ the guy needs surgery and they didn’t want to pay after it happened when in the ring for them and now this please keep the same energy with PFL
If you are watching from day 1, you would also know that he is not a "keep the same energy" type of guy.
@@somdutroy yeah you’re right. Plus he does anything to try and make Dana white look bad it’s not really even a ufc as a whole beef
nobody going to say anything about new york rick saying he "likes to throw it back"?? 🤭
Stop ignoring the reality of the situation. You gassed up PFL for AGES and now won’t call them out on their shady business practices. You disgust me.
Ariel pls do podcast with Badr Hari
I beleive whether aj vs fury does/don't happen they'll be remembered as part of the best bunch like Ali frasier forman....Lewis hollyfeild tyson...we got usyk fury aj
You right about Draymond. Dudes shouldn’t be on that show. He is literally still in the league just on there trolling & being disrespectful. Knowing his history & knowing he had multiple suspensions this year why reward him? So he can take shots at people he gotta play? They don’t think that could lead to another draymond on court fight? Terrible for the sport.
@@thehumblehummingbird Fr I lost interest when they stopped allowing physical defense. Just look at a ref for a little too long and it’s a technical 😂
Frank was unbearable today.
Past interviews being shown should either be funny moments, best moments or montages, not entire interviews. Older ones are better but perhaps a mashup of the previous month or two of interviews instead could work too.
Bellator overpaid their fighter, because they got that showtime contract at the "right time". Their champions at the time were making 6 figures which is alot in MMA, I'm sure ppv points involved.
8/28 questions were actually mma related....
39:05 bruh
Bellator is shady for giving him a new deal just before selling the company...
Dana likes loyal ppl not weasels so that won’t happen
but even an ACL injury can occur from overdoing,bozzo
No question about it, Chael lost to Ariel, CZcams consistently play Ariel after Chael, even though there are other Chael videos that would be a good fit to play next, here comes Ariel
Cage Titans doing great though if you'd like to report that!
And yes your 100% right that Inside the NBA is not the same without the "Godfather"
Wait, Perry is not a champ in bkfc?😆
Guess UFC is not so bad right now.
i wish the questions were ordered by category. ufc / boxing questions, then wwe / other sports, then food / other miscellaneous questions
Its just so silly ro not create a new brand or at least ditch 1 brand.
PFL is on its way out lol
hey first one ;)
This is what we come here for
At least if the ufc say your getting $12 gs to show 12gs to win....you actually get paid...😂 pfl is trash how are they going to be better than ufc when they cant afford good fighters.
Ariel is such a sellout and a rat, defending the PFL not paying their fighters while complaining about Dana and the UFC all day.
Second! 😂
5th comment
the more stuff that comes out just makes don davis more and more of a phony
Ariel is a hypocrite and joke. There is 2 sides to every story when he is pandering to a company. When it comes to UFC there is never 2 sides.
It’s gross his biased Ariel is.
PFL IS DEAD
Draymond sucks on that show
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Anyone who has actually been watching Inside the NBA for a while (shoutout Run Through the Tape) knows the show has long past its apogee. Fell off a couple years back. What was one of the greatest live shows on televesion is now just a really good sports show. Still good, still the best sports has to offer, but just aint the same not even close. Shaq has become completely insufferable, Ernie been feeling himself a little too much these last couple years, Kenny still Kenny for the last 2 decades (meh) and Chuck is still goated. Barkley is really the only one of the initial 3 (and eventually 4) that has gotten better over the years
Regardless, the drop off hasnt been precipitous and its a testament to the 4 for keeping the inevitable decline as slow as possible. It's been a legendary run and in its prime was truly one of the best panels on all of television
Nobody cares about champ status, really.
Try to ask ten people all of the UFC champs. 8 wouldn't be able to name half of them.
I mean are we talking about random people off the street or MMA fans? If you are talking MMA fans I bet most would be able to name nearly all of them. Terrible take, tons of people care about champ status. Becoming a champion is often what allows you to make a big name and then not require a belt for big fights.
Top Shelf Helwani! 🙏
PFL SUCKS. BELLATOR SUCKS. Dancing on their graves. Only a matter of time.
this guy is fake news
Forgot to address the tourney: yeah, they chose not to continue with that. Poor form. Better move would have been to finish it off and bite the bullet.
Baki? He’s been paid. I forgot to answer that. His not paid part, so they say, was for sponsorship, and that’s been sorted.
Did yall forget I said I’d buy stock in BKFC over PFL, like, two weeks ago?
You turned belals hospital into rubble
Ariel all the hater comments are only from people who watch snippets and neverrr bother to see the whole context of anything you say over a 4 hour show. Don’t bother with it.
Funniest thing is 99% of those haters favourite fighters are the ones that back you and are stoked to go on your show.
Unfortunately for Gegard he won't win that. The former bellator ownership committed business fraud by doing that at the 11th hour.
The new owners were purchasing a company with certain contracts. And then we're given a company with different contracts.
It's a material change to the business deal.
That would be like selling your house, and then before the new buyers move in you have the above ground pool removed and transferred to your new home.
They're offer was for a house with the pool not a house without a pool.
The money they offered bellator was for a bellator with mosasi on his old contract
Hopeful 😂
Everyone hates Ariel...not just Dana.
