Considering the insane economy of scale Reebok has, even if they actually sold them for 20 bucks there's still around 10 dollars minimum pure profit.
And smh at ufc doing all that promo
global tours
Tv radio online interviews
embedded videos
posters and billboards everywhere
promo vids
all this back and forth
and because one fakkit decides to kick aldo in the guts so close to the fight/whichever way he got injured
it's all for nothing now. Unless the ufc quickly build up another stacked card within two months and book another Aldo/McGregor fight for that one.
All those promo dollars
Dana probably had a stroke when aldo pulled out
I hope Mendes actually beats McGregor just because it will fukk up their plans even more
We ain't seen McGregor go up against legit wrestlers before.

Given enough time.. MMA will likely surpass it. It's a refreshing departure from the stale format of pure boxing while retaining the classics of boxing itself.
As to when it'll surpass it.. Decades at the very least.

Mendes is elite, he is an excellent wrestler with great hands, top-notch athleticism & tons of power. Dude lost a competitive back and forth war with Aldo less than a year ago. He followed that up by absolutely demolishing a fellow top FW in Lamas. Conor has his hands full in this fight, I will be very impressed if he wins.

You think the UFC/Dana giving Mendes subliminals to throw the fight or what?
mendes aint going to take a dive, he wins he gets his third shot at aldo and puts mcgregor in his place
Damn...not enough time for Conor to continue sonning Chad on the mic. Dude had gems.
:55 seconds :wowwow:
Chad wasn't ready.

This is the exact reason why I'm not mad at the UFC for the Reebok deal. The ufc invests in the promo and marketing of the fighters, their image and the fights, just so what, some T shirt with an eagle on it can get prime spotlight in the ring after the fight. I hope UFC never follows the steps of Boxing, they need to follow the real money sports, baseball, nfl, nba, nhl. Get to the point when they can have regular weekly cards which lead and build up to the big fight cards. When the regular money comes in then spread it out equally between the fights. I know odds are we're never gonna see any of this happen, but its nice to dream.

give it time breh, give it time. mma as a sport is crazy young, but it's growth rate has outstripped that of other sports equivalents by miles.

The way the reebok deal is set up its only profitable for established UFC fighters. Any up and comer with less than 10 fights give or take aren't getting any money. Look at Yoel Romero. He got $66k that's with a $33k win bonus compared to Machida who got $200k. These aren't including their endorsement money. We can all agree it is Yoel's time now and he's getting paid chump change and he headlined a UFC card against a formidable opponent and we can go down the line with other fighters getting pennies. Any new fighter who doesn't either have some major savings or another job to support their camp, training, nutritionist etc are gonna get funneled out of UFC. Which in turn will create less competition and competitive fights. It's an ugly deal the way its structured and UFC corporation is really only benefitting it. The other sponsors won't be able to help add in the money a fighter would get anymore. Fight week is when a fighter really gets noticed. Nothing before or after that.
Make this shyt a fight money. Get in mcgregors ffeelings and beat him on his feet.
