@nakisa_bidarian@nakisa_bidarian MVP MMA’s very first MMA event had a minimum pay of $40,000 and fighters were allowed to wear their own trunks and have their own sponsors. UFC 12/12 & zero sponsorship freedom. They are a multibillion dollar promotion……
Parts of this tweet are very telling. MMA alums, who helped build UFC, were not afforded tickets but boxers were. Tells you everything you need to know.
@GREENVILLANMIKE@boss__almighty They will still be able to fight on ring shows. It won’t matter. The game plan seems to be to make Zuffa one of the best places to go so everybody signs, and then eventually it is the only viable place to go to, and then they can dictate everything AKA UFC 2.0.
@CurtP_ I’ve been thinking this all along as well. The truth is these promoters are just as money-hungry as Zuffa. Very few have morals and integrity in our sport, unfortunately. It is punching people in the face for a living, for crying out loud, but I'd at least hope for some decency.
Establishment promoters still working with Turki when he’s actively working against them bts and has a big stake in Zuffa is one of the stupidest things I’ve witnessed in boxing
AHAHAHAHA FUCK ALL OF YALL SAYING I WAS LYING,
I Don’t take pride in fouling our sport like this but DC took a risk here and saying it’s fake takes away from the courage it took him to expose the truth.
@EricTrump@ufc@danawhite That doesn’t even make any sense. This is fake and ai generated but DC deleted it. If they are fake screenshots of a post then what would DC have to delete?
The UFC "Claw" constructed on the south lawn for Trump’s Sunday night fight is a masterclass in marketing & corruption. Sponsor ads line every side, with these payments & others largely undisclosed as to who really benefits & how much. I am looking into it through PSI.
@Zuffa_Boxing@ConorNigel@ConorNigel Fortunately for you, you’re signing with Zuffa at a time where they can’t ignore the sanctioning body titles. But there will be a time in the future where fighters just like you won’t have the same opportunity. This is very short term. Remember that.

🗣️ "He would have fought against it!"📄
Nico Ali-Walsh believes Zuffa Boxing are exploiting his grandfather Muhammad Ali's name in trying to get the Ali Revival Act passed.😮
Thoughts?💭
@LukeFurryjo From my interpretation Floyd saw he didn’t have enough time to slip the punch, so he punched Conor’s shoulder which would make the uppercut would have less force.
