Lorenzo took it personal when the reporter mentioned how the sport is stagnating when it come to popularity, it’s 2019 and I believe the sport can’t get any bigger then it is today. The ufc has not hit those unbelievable numbers since 2016
Fertitta is smart with his words, and spoke wittingly, like an aggressive lawyer trying to push his lies. He claims they "pay more than anybody else in this space". Which is true when you round all the cash they payout as a whole. Doesn't mean worthy individual fighters aren't getting fucked by their contract. Fighters are making pennies in the UFC while Rousey is making millions. Just cuz you pay certain fighters VERY well doesn't mean squat. Didn't Phil Davis just move to Bellator for huge pay raise? Didn't Ben Henderson just speak his mind on testing the freemarket? Something tells me the UFC is gonna dig it's own grave...
fighter pay was much more till they brought in the sponsor tax , fighters made a lot of money from sponsors now that dried up thanks to that and now reebok
Oh shhh , so uneducated.Fighters pay was not more, you dont count sponsor pay as fighter/UFC pay .UFC is not stopping anyone from having sponsors. They can have all the sponsors they want, just not when they are at work. Just like footballers cant just flout there personal sponsors when they are at work/on the pitch. This is a business and the owners have every right to get a there fighters to wear whatever sponsors they want. If the fighters dont like it and think they can make more money elsewhere,gtfo and go to Bellator or something like that. You little sponsorship bitches are professional retards, honestly. Not a brain cell to your name
+TruthStartsNow3 why so angry , calm down idiot in combat sports closest thing to MMA is boxing or kickboxing they don`t do sponsor tax or any of that reebok junk , you know its bad when Tim kennedy made over 100,000 per fight in strikeforce just from sponsors not including his pay from strikeforce .. thats why he was complaining and refusing to fight for 2500 in reebok sponsor per fight , it is what it is u wanna defend whats brutally unfair that`s ur choice .. even company man Joe rogan is strongly against it , that should tell u something
Nothing will change and it doesnt have to. UFC is a private company, they can pay there fighters used condoms if they want. If the fighter wants to leave they can. Stop acting like this is illegal or something. 99% of ALL companies wouldnt let there staff have sponsors when they are working. UFC IS A BUSINESS. Reebok has paid a shitloud of money for this deal. They fact that you guys cant see why this is good business is the exact same reason you will always be nothing more than a youtube commentator. Your entire argument is also so fucking hypocritical. You bitch about fighters not getting sponsors but then the company that that employs the fighter,you dont want them to make sponsor deals?? Dont get me wrong i get your pussy "cry me a river" argument. but im also smart enough to understand how this reebok is gonna benefit the company and the fighters in the long run.

+TruthStartsNow3 Was it really a problem that needed to be addressed? Honestly the fighters need to unionize otherwise this won't change.
