Given that, there's no reason for the UFC to know what they were getting, because the fighters and/or their agents negotiated their own sponsorship deals pre-Reebok. Its really not in doubt now that the UFC's exclusive deal was far below what they could have gotten, given what we know now on what fighters were able to get. You have no idea what you're talking about

I'm sure they only negotiated with reebok and did no due diligence to see what their market was like, then turned it around and sold it for 4 billion in the same manner

Or they didn't care about the Reebok deal as long as it led to the sale. Zuffa seemed intent on getting uniforms. Like, in the short term, if you're trying to cash out for 4 billion dollars why worry about 70 million?

They did care about it and made extra revenue which added to the 4 billion valuation

This is my intuition too, but really no one is going to know what truly happened until someone writes a tell-all in a few years.

There's huge variables that make what each fighter was receiving from sponsorships not indicative of what the company will receive in a deal, like Keven said in a much funnier way.

Its really not in doubt now that the UFC's exclusive deal was far below what they could have gotten, given what we know now on what fighters were able to get. Or they made a deal that was helpful for the UFC itself and not the fighters and didn't care about the fighters getting screwed over by it and claiming they had no idea at all what the value of the sponsorship they were giving away was worth is a convenient cover for them not really caring too much about how it impacted the fighters.

To any other athlete, I would assume they are making chicken salad without high octane mayo. But Hendricks is full blown dumber than hell so, yeah.

We used to laugh at Mike Dulce for being a scam-artist but apparently fighters really need to hire someone to live in their extra room and make greens and grilled chicken for them

At the time I think everybody assumed it had to do with money and both of them being idiots, but in retrospect I choose to believe it was a hatred that grew in Johny's heart every time Dolce slapped a hamburger out of his hands. Skip My Posts posted:life is short why spend it fighting with people all the time? - Khabib I think Khabib could actually just retire whenever and the Russian government or maybe Ramzan Kadyrov would pay him a bunch of money for just existing and maybe doing a little coaching and PR poo poo, even without ever winning a belt.

Should all of us that know how to cook go move in with fighters? Also, has any champ flamed out as bad as Hendricks over an extended number of fights?

Memento posted:I've been assuming they want Khabib to win a belt so they can build around him to push into Russia. "They" being the UFC? The importance of sport to the government and the insane levels of public corruption make that a difficult prospect. The guys running MMA in Russia now are all really plugged in to the ruling class so I don't know how you could convince them to make room for an American company to come in, even if they have a bunch of Russian stars. Maybe we'll see it happen and then a couple weeks later Vadim Finckelstein and Vladimir Putin's daughter will quietly acquire significant stakes in the UFC, and A-list WME/IMG clients will start showing up at state dinners in Grozny.
