Snowman_McK posted:Or Jon Fitch, or Carlos Condit, or Nick Diaz. Hughes and Sherk were both carrying more muscle, even if they were shorter. The only exceptions were Penn and Serra. Lol nope. GSP was also bigger (mass wise) than Condit, Diaz, koscheck, hardy, and probably many more. At the time guys like Luigi fiorivani were solid size WW and plenty of chubby lightweights populates the top 20. He was never the biggest but he’s not undersized against any WW.

...and the pitch! posted:I don't blame MM for not wanting to take the fight that makes the UFC the most money when the UFC won't promote him or pay him like a champion. Huh? He gets paid more than BJ penn did, a popular champion who people actually paid to watch and generated revenue for the company. I’m not one to jump in and call pro fighters midgets or anything, but being the 125 champ is like being the best basketball player under 6’ or the fastest chihuahua or something.

MM has been making good cheese ($300k+) long before he was worth that much in buys, if he even is now. The frustrating thing as a fan is that, dude you have a nice contract and get paid well to fight nobodies, the one time we ask you to earn your salary and put on a fight we actually want to watch, you want triple. gently caress off

Snowman_McK posted:It's also the rule that if you want the guy to take the bigger, riskier, more profitable fight, you pay him more. MM gets X to fight contenders to his belt and when the contender is really lovely, they don’t pay less, they honor the contract. When MM finally has a challenge again he wants to hardball for a gigantic raise. If they were asking him to go up to BW, I’d say he deserves the 2 mil he wants, but he shouldn’t demand Conor’s opponent money to fight anyone with a name in his own weight class.
