A buyout is not "alimony." I am fine with a buyout and in fact expect it is the only way SA exists without lowtax short of him dying and having left the site to someone in particular in his will. I do not expect anyone to part with their primary income source for free, much less a cantankerous, lazy dipshit of an rear end in a top hat with no marketable skills. However, I am not fine with him maintaining any sort of partial or nominal ownership of this site, or receiving any longterm or indefinite and/or percentage based installment payments. If I am to continue posting and contributing as a Unique Daily User (something that contributes to this site's profitability regardless of adblock) then I want to know it is without him involved financially in any way.

Yeah my moral compass has landed on being okay with a moderate buyout and zero licensing or royalties moving forward. Whoever said we’re looking for a “good not perfect” solution said it best imo. There’s no lowtax gets nothing the people get everything solution. Discord sucks because the forums aren’t a chatroom and while I have no problem migrating to a new site it’s not going to be the same and all the same people are not going to migrate over. The domain and user base hold the most value and I even wonder if Jeffrey should just rebrand the thing and have the domain forward to it for symbolic reasons. Who am I kidding this lovely codebase probably can’t handle that.

Brut posted:The next PPV isn't in the US and is also featuring 3 title fights so yeah he'd either be at least 4th on that card, or have an event with his name on it. Meanwhile we just had 250 and that god awful fight night card with Jessica Eye headlining.

Dustin Poirier isn’t a champion. Being the main event of a fight night is fine. poo poo, Faber would “headline” prelims. They get paid the same amount either way. e: If you’re a champion who weighs in at 135 or less, though, sometimes you gotta headline a fight night.

Latest Helwani worth a listen in its entirety. Apparently Platinum Mike is having his girlfriend corner him (and no one else) because she doesn’t what a coach should, sits back and enjoys the show’

I mean for 250 he still wouldn't be headlining cuz there was a title fight on there, and I'm not sure what your point is with the other fight night, unless you wanted Dustin to headline both fight nights  It's not like he would've gotten PPV points or paid more in any way really, from being on a PPV.

In an ideal world I would make sure a bigger % of what went to the ppvs goes to the fighters and avoid giving the UFC anything. But my lizard brain likes fights so occasionally they get my $

ESPN+ works poorly sometimes, and doesn't show you poo poo happening between rounds, either one of these on their own is a dealbreaker for me. I pay $9 for fightpass instead of $5 for ESPN, the difference is like...less than a sandwich, and I also get to not watch ads for random products.

I thought I was paying at least SOME attention to the weigh in stream, and I've now scrolled through the whole thing like 3 times looking for this, and I still can't figure out when this picture is from. Oh wait I just looked at the timestamp, this was posted 15 minutes before weigh ins started so I guess that's just a test, they didn't end up needing it.

Yeah sorry I worded that badly, I don't think ESPN+ is good, it's just with the deal and now even Fight Nights not being on Fight Pass it's really not as good a deal these days. Their geoblocking seems to have gotten smarter too.

But yeah if I couldn't do that it's not like I'd be paying for fight pass to watch Titan FC or whatever.

I dumped FightPass when I realized I didn't watch any of the extra content, and it was easier to make pirate streams work than fight with getting it to stream correctly and then have to hop devices/protocols when going from prelims to main cards or whatever. I have paid for things when I have filthy casuals over, because they're not gonna put up with janky streams or stream hopping as they go down or whatever. My fight degen friends are used to that poo poo from the days when we watched streams the size of postage stamps and got mad when torrents of PPVs weren't up an hour after airing.

The explanation of the anti cheat measure seems extraneous.At most, it was fighters resting their hands on the top of the towel or trainers' hands, right? Now, it'll be obvious if they touch the frame. And sure, it'll be a more obvious if they try to pinch the cloth, but I wasn't aware anyone had been accused of that?

There were multiple incidents of suspicious weigh ins, most recently last week when Cortney Casey weighed in with the hoop for Flyweight at 123.5 lbs, a full 2.5 lbs below the allowance, those are some heavy underwear. chaleski posted:Just recently Calvillo and Joanne Calderwood accused Jessica Eye of pinching the towel Yeah also that.

the real solution is to stop the entire need for cutting weight, everything else is just patching up a hole with duct tape.

I don't see how you do that, even if you have weigh ins at fight time that just means that some idiots will be fighting dehydrated. Please don't cite ONE FC as doing anything but hiding their weigh ins, it just looks silly at this point.
