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

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

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.

No one here knows anything about what was actually going on but do you think it's like, impossible for a successful corporation to gently caress up and make a bad decision? Pollyanna Capitalism is a new one for me

Not at all. Big successful companies gently caress stuff up all the time

I would consider that a form of aid in the overall process. If you know you have the IV to help bounce back, you can proceed with the cut differently.

for sure but he's right it's not gonna help you cut much more weight

Yeah I get the knockout bit, but from what I can tell the poo poo talk isn't even creative or funny. Like, I haven't found any examples of him being clever instead of just really loud. Obviously trying to figure it out in retrospect is very different from being there at the time, though.

Yeah I get that. It definitely causes funny situations tho. I think he's cool based on his fights basically

i think the bisping that fought anderson would have given him trouble at any point in his career. if anderson's chin was still superhuman and he was a hair quicker he probably would have won but bisping's non-committal offence still would've been a problem.

I don't remember Okami leading but he is so one note and hittable that it didn't matter.

bisping is also hittable, see 40 year old dan henderson smoking him twice with his only punch during bisping's best run of his career

this .. the two losses hes had since coming back from breaking his leg (generally a career ending injury at his age) have been to the current middleweight champion (after knocking him out) and a 2 day notice loss to daniel cormier who is the interim lhw champion

this is a good point for sure but prior to breaking his leg against Weidman he was getting tooled up and nearly finished in the first round. i don't think silva was bad by any means, he was awesome

Nobody is saying that Anderson was ever bad or is bad now, and if you read things like that you might be too close to the subject emotionally.

Kelvin's weird to me because he has a lot of power and great hands and can run a good drill but every three or four minutes he gets really stiff and just kind of flattens out so it's weird when people say he moves like Dillashaw

only one guy said he moves like dillashaw and it was insane
