We dont know the full story.
So, what if, RVCA was renewing their contract with thte ufc, and the demands by zuffa were not what they wanted, there was no deal reached, so now, they cant be a sponser.
You have to look at it from business point, if you think Dana is just not alowing companies to sponser because he is mad at them, your nuts. I ting some of these brands, did not want to pay the asking amount by zuffa because there is another media outlet for them to use, prob cheaper. Everytime a fighter wheres a sponser on their shorts, the ufc makes some money off that, they have a set price, like a news paper ad, if the sponser doesnt agree they dont sponser, done..
Business is business
To say the fighters dont make any money is stupid, 5 years ago, what were they making?
When you go to work today, why dont you tell your boss, I want more money cause you made more money,,,lol...
Ask Gsp, Evans, Penn, Randy, Forest, or any other fighter how they live..
The only ones that complain about their pay checks, are the ones that think they are better then they really are.
I chatted with Jason Macdonald a while ago, and he has a ok life for someone that isnt a main event guy,, He now make 7000 a fight to win in the MFC.. big diffrent from 45000 pluss sponsers..
I know everyone here thinks the ufc is bad, but again, it is a business first, if the fighters dont like it they have options, and if the fans dont like it is a business, they can watch amature sport, .
