Terrible precedent set by the UFC

[Joshua Jarboe]

How many viewers did they pull in?

[Tim Elliott]

That a fat man can walk into that Octagon, get destroyed and still walk away with that much more money than guys that train like gods.....

Makes me sick too.

I dont think so man, its buisness I bet the paper veiw sales alone were worth it and think of the cross over fan gains paychecks dont always reflect a fighters ability in the ring but there ability to sale ppv's. Its just buisness. Moves like that are what brought the ufc out of the dirt and allow hard core fans to see the better fights sometimes put on on the under card.

[Joshua Jarboe]

I agree with Jonathan. But it's too bad that in this case, business isn't fair. I am glad that some of these guys make more in a night than I do in a year of programming.
