mma is fucked up.these guys make no damn money.it bullshit that a well known fighter in the ufc gets paid pennies.in boxing tomatoe cans who are just stepping stones that no one knows get like 800 bucks and higher 2 fight in mma u have guys who are realtively known like some guys in bellator and they make 800 dollars thats bullshit.fighters only get like 3 fights a year even if u get 10 g's per fight u still struggling cuz ur not getting a fight every other month.
@Garuda1337 He has a front tooth, and I bet my car and home you would not say that to John's face, leave the N word out of it. Guy is one of the nicest people in the fight game.
I like WaiKru, but Alves has been pumpin' the roids like there's no tomorrow at ATT and become an angry shot up bitbull that won't be denied for the fruits of his juice!
he seems like a humble dude coming from where hes from but dam what is he spending his money on him and his family are still in the projects. You would think money from sponsors and fights would get you a decent apartment in a nice area
@kladen100 1. Boston is an expensive place to live. 2. Even with sponsorship money, most fighters struggle with money, especially when they have families. 3. Even if you're making decent money from purses/sponsorships, a lot of it gets eaten up by licensing/medical fees, managers, trainers, etc. That's why guys spend so much time doing seminars, personal appearances, and so on.
Amazing story! Coming home from Job Corps(everybody knows Job Corps is bullshit!). Needing a job..trains for one year. Then turns pro. I hope he gets some big money fights and buys his family that house.
Bro i like u and respect u. U a single dad and family to raise but i just think Thiago Alves will beat ur style...unless u gonna wrestle him non stop u going down bhra. I am sorry cause i do kinda like ur fighting spirit but u dealing with Pitbull.
@liquidhead agreed...it's these kinds of fighters you hope become successful in the sport because they appreciate what they have and what they went through to get there...
John Howard is the MAN I saw him at Tequila Rain Night Club When Fight Magazine was hosting when UFC came to Boston!!! Good Times!!! Its sad UFC didnt put him on the Fight Card in his home City! I hope he gives Thiago Alves a run for his money next fight! Thumbs up
