the ufc isnt doing as well as they used to
there business was down 40% last year. they just raised there ppvs prices as well.
alot of mma websites do not discuss how the ufc is 500 million in debt as well
That's because Dana + The Fertittas really messed up: On the one hand they've devised a model that is unsustainable, most of the money goes to the promoters/UFC while the fighters get diddly shit; and on the other hand they are trying to get rid of the competition as if that was the only way to compete. I mean, look at Dana White, would you like to work for that fat fuck? Who would?
There's no money in MMA, and their push to make the sport global isn't attracting local talent because there isn't money in it. And, to top it all off, the fights they do have are gradually becoming lamer by the minute, with moves that show/attract nothing. And some of the fights are such miss-matches that the only way to get them to happen and be sort of economically beneficial is to first put up a huge advertising campaign and then let the vastly annoying Rogan shout his fucking way through it.
UFC = dead end for MMA.
