IS Nick Diaz right to complain about how much money UFC Fighters make?

[240 is Back]

fighters are easy to replace.  and it doesn't take a lot to become a fighter.  You train for a few years, have a knack for it, etc.

Oh, and they only fight a few times a year.

IMO, a guy getting 100k a year ot workout and watch tv all day, fight a few times a year - it's a pretty good deal.

No college, no people skills... just get in there and fight.

That's right, if they can do better elsewhere then they would.

Most fighters have an academic background + Nasa openly refuses to take back employees who have been in a room with Dana white.

Hey, that was a cool documentary to watch. Know of any other cool mma/fight vids?

Underpaid? Give me a break. This is supply and demand. The fact of the matter is that there isn't a large enough market demand to pay all UFC fighters (let alone all MMA fighters) what they'd "like" to get paid. If UFC fighters were "underpaid" then a competing organization could easily "steal" all of them from the UFC by means of offering higher pay. But that hasn't happened. Why? Because UFC fighters get paid exactly what they deserve to get paid!

  Dana White is a modern-era lanista. He couldn't care less if his fighters end up brain-damaged or in wheelchairs. The bottom line is that his company, Zuffa, continues to increase in market value. Pure laissez-faire capitalism at it's best.
