Amare's Right Hook
Southeast World Champion
shyt I wonder what that money looking like from Ralph?at Rockhold not being able to fight because he’s shooting a commercial. If Blachowicz wins he might as well do modeling full time.

Yeah, can’t be mad because these dudes are getting robbed blind. The same weekend that Cejudo as the main event champ made $440,000, other big names made $100,000-$200,000 and lesser names made way less, a supposed fat bum that was never supposed to upset Joshua took home 7 mill, while Joshua made $25 million.
It sounds soft to postpone a fight for a modeling shoot, but fukk it if UFC isn’t breaking bread
You don’t burn a bridge with Ralph Lauren for a company like the UFC who would throw any fighter and employee away and under the bus for their own gain.
What was the difference in viewership/ppv buys between the mma and boxing bout though?Yeah, can’t be mad because these dudes are getting robbed blind.

No clue. I don't think the numbers are in yet. But regardless, UFC guys get a fraction of what boxers make, even when the buys are comparable.
Take Khabib/McGregor for instance, which did 2.4 million, which is historic levels of buys. The main event guys got $2 million & $3 million respectively. Canelo/GGG did half those numbers and they got $5 million.
When UFC cards do Canelo/GGG type numbers the purses will typically cap out at about $500,000 for anyone not named Conor or Ronda Rousey.

I really think Artem is going to get fukked up bad. I know he takes beating in most of his fights but this one with Paulie is going to be brutal

Paulie is going to beat the fukk out of him. Either they're in it for the checks or a lot of these MMA brehs don't know just how lightyears ahead boxers are with the hands. Artem got brutalized by a dude with subpar boxing skills in his first bare knuckle match, so imagine what a former world champ will do

Report: UFC 243 Set For Melbourne's 55,000-Capacity Marvel Stadium
Izzy is in some serious trouble tbh. Whittaker takes this Aussie shyt seriouly and probably couldn't stomach losing in front of a home crowd after disappointing in February.

Too bad the rest of the card will likely be trash like most Australia cards

I'm glad they are keeping the train rolling with Valentina 
Valentina Shevchenko vs. Liz Carmouche rematch to headline UFC Uruguay
Hope they don't try to pull out another interim belt
UFC champ Henry Cejudo likely out until 2020 due to shoulder surgery
