I don't know how they did it, but they managed to make Anthony Johnson, one of the most imposing dudes in the sport, look really unimposing

DC was on either twitter or instagram bitching about this poster and said AJ must have done Dana a huge favour to be the focus of this even though he's not champ. Where as I'd just complain because it's dog poo poo.

Johnson wins this and thus ends UFC's hope of having a run of big money, big name cards in the summer. Could've potentially been looking at GSP Vs Bisping (June), Connor Vs Khabib (July) and Jones Vs Cormier (August). They'll still have GSP Vs Bisping probably, but they are really struggling for cards at the minute.

Ditch posted:Can anyone translate this from "lovely writing" to English because I have no idea who did what to who and why. Like, what was Rebney's role to start with, what would be gained by him killing a dog, etc. Sugar Ray Leonard hired Rebney and this Ersoff guy as talent managers Then Ray said he had an affair that would ruin his reputation, so Ersoff and Bjorn hired Mike Plonsker, and entertainment lawyer to help with that. Ersoff didn't want to go as hard as the others on the mistress, so the rest of the crew started beefing with him. Plonsker put Bjorn in touch with a FBI guy to see if Ersoff would incriminate himself. Ersoff didnt, but the FBI paid a visit to intimidate him anyway. Ersoff filed a lawsuit against Plonsker and Rebney, then the next day, Ersoff's dog got a metal spike driven through its head.

Mr. Nice! posted:Correct. It wasn't anywhere close to unionizing and actually will hurt them most likely when they do try. yep, their best shot was to jump on board when that baseball lawyer tried to organize them into the PFA. Instead a bunch of fighters were somehow idiotically convinced that a union was a bad thing and that they should be an association instead (which is legally worthless and can not negotiate a CBA which is what they really need), and brought on board shady guys who were toxic. So, people who were intrigued by the PFA were confused when the 1 or two other wannabe associations started sniping at them, then one of the organizations brought on Bjorn Rebney, then some high-profile names leveraged this whole silly sham to get better contracts for themselves and it ended in a clusterfuck. At some point if a bunch of fighters and lawyers get together and go "oh wait, we hosed up, we should have lined up behind the PFA" and try to start a real union, the rest of the fighters will think back to what happened and be skeptical. The prospect of a real union ever happening anytime soon, and therefore the well-being of the fighters, was seriously damaged by what happened last year.

Jerusalem posted:Speaking of money, what ended up being the upshot of the Reebok deal? I vaguely recall that UFC's justification was that it was going to even out merchandise/sponsorship money so the lower tier guys got more or at least the same somehow? Which I'm assuming did NOT happen. We're never going to know for sure, but the UFC (and therefore the fighters) got rooked on the Reebok deal because the UFC apparently did not know what the fighters were getting on sponsorship deals.The UFC was going off of anecdotal stories of lower-tier guys struggling to find sponsors and then not getting paid by sponsors, making low-4 figures on the sponsors, etc. The UFC figured "we can do better than that", and proudly presented the new signed long-term sponsorship deal to the fighters. The mid and upper-tier fighters freaked the gently caress out because they were getting a ton of money on sponsors, in some cases a lot more than even their contracted purse. (sponsors are willing to pay to be displayed on primetime on FOX, go figure). The UFC basically laughed, called bullshit saying there's no way the main card fighters were making that much, then some of those fighters flipped their cards by showing their old now-voided sponsorship contracts, and after that we heard crickets from the UFC. The UFC negotiated a very bad deal, because it wasn't ostensibly going to be for them, so they had no incentive to figure out what the exclusive sponsorship would really be worth. All they cared about was cleaning up the logo soup and looking more professional, less like NASCAR, which is fine, but they could have gotten a lot more money.
