    When did I ever say the UFC won't be around in 5 years?

    Not once has I ever said UFC has a potential short lifespan.


    You're really reaching.

    You said they pay the fighters little money because their popularity might not be what it is right now.

    That's kind of what I said, but not really.

    Regardless, being less popular doesn't mean they'll be out of business. Like I said, more reaching from the UFC haters.

    If we can give InI a 'USA Bad' thread, maybe we can give you guys a 'UFC Bad' thread as well.

    No hater is reaching. You have your built in excuse for UFC not paying their fighters what they should.

    UFC is paying their fighters what the market dictates they pay their fighters. Nobody is forcing the fighters to sign the contracts.

    There's no excuses needed.

    Look at the title of this thread. Are they really paying what the market dictates? The truth is they pretty much ARE the market. Shit like this is why people consider monopolies so bad in the long run. The bussiness cleans up while the fighters make jack shit.
