Nelson made $75,000 in 2010. That is straight contract salary and bonuses. That doesn't include any discretionary bonuses that the UFC is famous...
Less than 1% of students on High School Football teams end up with college scholarships. Kids play because they love the game. Do you honestly...
$65 million..... :giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle:
Yeah, wrong. I work out with high school players right now that end up batter and bruised yet play for $0 and can't wait for the next practice in...
I guess it depends on whether you like training and fighting. If I could have played pro football for $20,000 a year in my 20's, I would have...
Great analogy except for one small thing. None of the 'leagues' you mentioned pay the players. The individual team does. In the NFL, for example,...
Don't go there. It disrupts the whole "UFC is unfair" sentiment. Personally, if I'm an athlete, I kind of like how Zuffa has begun treating their...
Yep. If Nelson wanted a bigger payday last Saturday, beating Mir would have been a good start.
Yeah, except one small thing. If a fighter doesn't think his pay is enough, he can CHOOSE not to make a living in MMA. He can CHOOSE to do...
:lol::lol:
One of the problems is that people who slam the UFC's pay structure can't help comparing it to boxing. It's not boxing. There is no negotiation....
I always get a kick out of these discussions. People act like Roy Nelson or Matt Hamill didn't know what they were going to get paid before the...
"I'm gonna talk you through this soldier." I may have a new level of respect for Naseem. While I thought Shane's effort was ridiculously lame,...
Shane did quit right after getting knocked down.
Here are the remaining events for this quarter. You can send me your picks in advance if you want. Saturday, June 4 UFC: The Ultimate Fighter...
Pick away bitches. This is a fun card. There should be some good action. And it's time to see what Pettis is all about. And here's hoping big...
Exactly. I re-watched the fight as well. And at no point was Torres "controlled" on the ground. Torres gave an absolute clinic on how you SHOULD...
From an acting perspective, it doesn't get much better than Annette Benning as the non-lipstick, zero estrogen, lesbian in this flick.
I agree. Alves is ALWAYS the bigger guy it seems, but Story dwarfed him. But damn, how did he take all those flush shots in the 3rd? The kids got...
McCallum. Just a pleasure to watch. In his run as 154 pound champion, he had a bit of everything. He methodically beat guys down like McCrory and...
In my opinion, Story stalled almost as much only his stalling was against the cage in a clinch as opposed to on the ground. The bottom line is...
Karl really ruins the fun of being a bad ass behind a keyboard.
Well, me and the guys are discussing banning you for running away with this thing. Honestly, I am a little intimidated about debating fights with...
Your post is shitty and I felt the need to tell you because my post if far less shitty when I make yours look shitty. :ohno:
I know Z is joking but let me be clear, I was in no way implying GF was cheating. He is, but I wasn't implying it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kidding. You...
All I know is Torres was fun to watch off his back. The sweeps, the sub attempts; and the constant elbows SHOULD have been the rule to winning...
Hell yeah. I can't wait for Pettis-Guida. Obviously I can't put it up until the final bout is known which will be Wednesday. I'll put it...
How can you edit your post without it showing an edit date/time? I almost screwed up because I used everyone's initial picks unless their post...
I get tired of Rogan talking about how Nelson is fat but has great stamina.. Bull shit.. He was out of gas after the first round against both Mir...
Well, here we go. The latest standing. [IMG]
