Quote:
Tonight an interview with Ariel Helwania, UFC President Dana White revealed that some of the fighters that were scheduled for UFC 151, but had their fights rescheduled months away, were indeed 'compensated'.


*So did this actually work out as a double pay day for some fighters?

Of course they get the hook up. Dana has to come out of this looking like the good guy. He's found his scapegoat.

Did he mention full purse or something like Starbucks cards? Also, why didn't Nike step up and cover their fighters decision? Not saying they have any obligation, but considering they use slave labor they could use some positive press.

He said that the fighters that didn't have their fights immediately rescheduled were compensated.

This would have been a wise nugget to drop in the original cancellation press tele-conference.

Nike's business practices along should tell you why they didn't step up with any money

I would have paid them myself, but when I heard that they were sad that they didn't get paid, I decided not to. They only get paid when they no longer care about getting paid. Don't they know that when you don't hunger for money is when you truly become rich.
