Thats the issue though. Listen im not on anyones side here, but i think people should understand whats going on here at least UFC has bought up all their competetion, or out classed the growth of their competetion, so in fact they have a monoply. In a monopoly , the fighters have no leg to stand on when it comes to negoitating pay. Thats the problem. If you beleive UFC invented MMA, then i beleive they well within their right to do this. If you beleive they didnt , then... no.

@ExplosionHurtedMe

also just noticed you tried insukting me in that crapfest of a post, LOL (he called me fuck face while , trying to prove how smart he is, wtf ..LOL), Thanks you just proved me right , that you obviouslly have no clue what you talking about, and i can now safley assume that you got your economics infor from the back of a corn flakes box, else you wouldnt get so heated lol (people get heated when they run out of smart things to say LOL).

PART 2

The cost of watching UFC has only gone up, it hasnt gone down, so you are wrong there also. They are not interested in offering cheaper views, they only want profit, and if we have no where else to watch MMA, wtf else we gonna do. You probbaly havent finished your economics degree I assume, cause even i under stand this and i have no degree. Only right way is ufc became more like boxing with promoters seperate to organization, with more event, then monoply work

@ExplosionHurtedMe

Ehm so what? i could care less about your economics degree or where ever you got that garbage from. What ufc is doingwill actually make MMA less appealing in the long run, it will end up a joke like wwe, for a healthy enviroment healthy other organisations on a similar scale (shit up with bellator lol) are needed, that all work toghether like they do in boxing. UFC, promote, organize and hold events all themselves, thts plain wrong . PART 1

@mangoKush12 well said

[ExplosionHurtedMe]

As for fighter's pay, there is nothing wrong with what the UFC is doing. The fighters sign their contracts under no form of duress and do so on their own accord. If they're unhappy with the terms of their contracf, they're free to leave. This is how businesses operate, fuckface. I'd love to see the UFC grow to the size of other behemoth businesses like Walmart so that we can receive events for cheaper and events become far more frequent.

[ExplosionHurtedMe]

@TonyMon16 Why don't you try and gain a minimal understanding of economics before spouting your garbage. What the UFC has done in buying out their competition is absolutely legit and fair. As the UFC grows, it is able to offer events for a cheaper price to fans (economies of scale).

30 years ago those sports didnt have billion dollar revenues. Dont assume stuff, people usually have reason for trying to shine a light , theres no smoke without fire. Alot of money is just going to the owners pocket.
