Dana White: Anderson Silva and Georges St. Pierre aren?t going to give up their cash to form a fighter's union - MMAmania.com

He failed to mention the huge amounts they'll want from his pay too. Thats the biggest reason, and the fact he won't be able to be a total dictator

Sounds like Dana is sayng Unions hinder the best and brightest performers and prop up the untalented, lazy, and slouches. Sounds about right.

Sounds like somebody is scared to me, but in fairness most businesses I've worked at are terrified of unions. I worked at a place that told us to come to management if anyone talked to us about forming a union, and I worked at a mega superstore (not to mention any names) that showed anti union propaganda film in orientation.

There's some truth in his statement. Many people want to believe hes anti union just to keep control of fighers and 'hold them down'. There are many instances of the UFC handing out extra checks just for a good fight, win money when a fighter didn't receive the W, & FOTN-SOTN-KOTN bonuses, all could be cut out within union negotiations. Then fighters would need a structured pay scale which would most likely bring the top fighters pay down. And tack on union fees to all the other costs of training.

ask dana how hostess is doing with their union....

The UFC is more like Hollywood. It's show business not a regular job. It's the the music industry, it's flaky, flashy, fun, and over before you can blink, espcially for those who lose 1 too many fights. For most fighters it will never be a solid career. A union would hurt the biggest asset to it's Brand, it's exclusivity. Most people would say the UFC only has the elite fighters, a union would threaten that image. Competition is the only thing that will make the UFC re-evaluate how they pay their bottom guys. And that's going to take a long time to develop. But I do believe it's starting to happen, as you have more networks looking for their own MMA brand to sell.

We all know he isn't gonna be giving up any of his pay he's mother fucking Dana White!

Corporate greed killed hostess not unions.
