Dana isn't so much the problem. The often very fickled fight fans however think these guys shouldn't have any control nor even so much as an opinon over their careers.

- Rampage shooting the A-Team
- Diaz/Silva wanting to box with RJJ
- Lyoto wanting Anderson Silva $
- Ed Soares/Silva, Jones, Rampage wanting high profile fights
- Corano going Hollywood
- Randy Couture actually getting a superfight with James Toney

I dare these guys want more for themselves... that is so dishonorable (may as well be a slave mentality.)

It will all depend on whether or not he learns from this mistake or not.

That's his DSL face.

I'm sure he would have entirely understood and accepted it if Shogun had refused him a title shot because Jones wasn't established enough to be a big draw.

Even if he never gets another dime to fight again, if he goes broke it's because he's a moron.

You're missing the point. There is absolutely no difference in paying someone one million dollars when they feel they deserve three million dollars and feeding them to the lions. There is absolutely no difference at all.

because like he said
he did it and did not make the cash (ppv sells bouns) he was hoping for due to the low sell of the ppv
