Ill take Tito's word for it .

[playuntiltheskyisblack]

True or not, it's silly to say...Oh Georges says he doesn't like the UFC...but he gets a Hummer and everythings cool. Its like an angry cat you dangle a string in front of.
The worst part is, "putting words in someones mouth" (Notice the quotes).
Either way true or not, this could stir shit up.

But then again I forgot Tito is Jose Canseco. Everyone hates him and he knows everything about everything.

There's no need for profanity!

Well Tito is helping himself by creating all this media attention and doing interviews but hes also helping the UFC i think, in that hes drawing attention to the brand and the ppv itself.

So I can venture to say that you are not an Athletic Supporter. I couldn't resist that one.

This sounds like the "birth" of most sports. At the start, there was little money to go around...then as the sport grew, the athletes enjoyed the fruits of their success...now it might be time for the athletes to realize that they the 'stars' of the sport and hold more power in their hands.

I wonder what would happen if collective bargaining allowed the fighters to a certain percentage of the gross and then it was divided up in a fair and equitable fashion? Could be based on ranking or drawing power.

I think Tito is upset Georges got a Hummer...

"You have to pay taxes on it and have you seen the price of gas?" is something I would say if my friend got one... well... I wouldn't be jealous of a Hummer but if he won an Audi then yeah...

I don't think Tito is throwing Georges under the bus, I would hazard a guess to say that Georges isn't too happy with having his sponsor banned but that's hardly the UFC's fault.

Tito has a point about how much fighters make and how much they paid, but he's (in my opinion) kind of in the boy-who-cried-wolf situation...

Yea Tito is a good bussiness man alright... maybe after Machida beats him he will become a promoter just like Oscar DH did, maybe fight some cans every now and then.

Its just another Tito Ortiz the man building up Tito Ortiz the brand... throwing in the champs name just makes people think "wow the champs not happy...whoa Dana White is an a hole" Tito knows hes not an everyday name like he used to be in the UFC so hes trying to make himself a little easier to sell in another org
