Fedor needs to get rid of that goddamn Jew that is managing his career.

boxing sucks dick.
salary caps suck.
pro sports suck.
over paid pro sports sucks.
The ONLY fighters bitching are old, full of shit fighters who are useless like FRITO.
those who cant, bitch..those who do..just fight.

this is straight up business dude. No different then a salary cap in hockey. Fighters deserve more money if a company highly profits off of their performance.

Boxing promoters were corrupt – fighters still got paid – LARGE.

xlife again I must tell you…fuck off and die, you stupid piece of shit. nobody here wants to see MMA become corrupt like suckass boxing, go suck delafaggott’s dick.

ha

De La Hoya/Mayweather fight – both fighters took come collectively over $70 million from one fight.

UFC 100 – the entire fight card was near a million combined with bonuses.

Maybe there is a pile of secret money being dished out that we dont know about.

In 2006 UFC PPV set a alltime record – $200+ million.

scam

Sexyama……only just but hey that is one mighty fine coat

WELL FUCK ME UP THE ASS AND CALL ME GAY!!!

And the bit you added at the end….
“Your own amusement park, and only you decide who gets to ride the roller-coaster. Isn’t that what we’ve all dreamed about?”
LOL!!!!!!!! i seen that episode of south park last night where cartmen does exactly that!

His wife will do more then hit him with a rolling pin!!! Fedor will need all the Vodka in russia to make this pain go away!!!

Fedor you are a fucking coward, this is just proof that you know you cant hack it in the cage and that LESNER IS BETTER THAN YOU. Finkelstein, you are just a money hungry russian jew whos grandfather got accidently skipped in Stalins purges, go to hell.

ha you guys dont look at the big picture. tyson was making $20mil a fucking fight. GSP is not even near $1million. Pay per view generates hundreds of millions of dollars – UFC under pays LARGE.

Fedor is winning this fight – UFC has a stranglehold on all the fighters. If they want him then they are going to have to pay for him.

The way i see it – title holders/main event fighters shold be getting a percentage of the PPV hits or have a HUGE wage increase.

Fuck UFC – Zuffa INC are ripping off the fighters.”

fuck you!
You are retard!
You must be Fedor come to spy on the hub, begone you russian troll turd.

cant we just admit that fedor is nothing more than a bleeding vagina? if he really wanted to fight the best, he would. and he won’t. because he’s scared, whether of tarnishing his legacy or getting the shit knocked out of him, who knows. but he’s a fucking pussy. it’s enough for me to wanna see even cock chestner’s retarded ass beat him down. life must suck as a coward, eh fedor?

Fedor is officially dead to me. I supported mma since the first ufc tourny bought dvds books order all the damn ppvs fuck fedor ill never support shit he does if he doesnt singn with the ufc fuck m1 gayble too btw cp nice kmart fucking servers

What a piece of work this Finkeldouche is…If I was DW, I’d have Brock Lesnar tag along just to call out Fedor for being the little pu$$y-a$$ b*tch (or b*tch-ass pu$$y) that he is in that press conference tomorrow. Then afterwards, for kicks, both of them have an ice cream cone for photo-ops

>>> biff, that’s a GREAT IDEA!

Having Brock along to see all this bullshit going down will have to grate on his nerves and he might go all “DON FRYE” on Fedor, his manager, and Russia altogether….

He’d probably call Fedor a coward and a sissy for eating ice cream cones and wearing dorky-sweaters that look like they were from the 1950s.

You lost me. What does deride mean?

I don’t think Fedor is afraid of the UFC’s HW fighters – I think it’s M-1 who’s afraid. That’s why they’re trying to pull all this long-term cross-promotional stuff. It’s not just with the UFC; this is their demand with Strikeforce as well. It’s their sticking point because they KNOW that that nobody gives a sh!t about M-1 except for the fact that they apparently own Fedor, body and soul. So if their greatest (and basically only) asset goes to the UFC or Strikeforce, and is subsequently destroyed by Lesnar or whomever in his first fight, the whole Fedor mystique is shattered – and there goes M-1′s meal ticket. It’s a gamble that they’re currently not willing to make, because when it comes down to it, anyone can be beaten at any time. We’ve seen that some guys have had serious problems adjusting to the cage, and if that were to happen to Fedor, and he were to go down in flames like Cro-Cop did (whose entire mystique was demolished upon stepping into the cage), then where does that leave M-1 in 2 years?

If I were Dana, Id do a 1 fight deal and let him fight Brock Lesnar. Even let M-1 split the profit. Id pay the camera guys and the commentators to completely ignore the M-1 logo, and then If BL beat the piss outta him, he would be useless to the world and out of a contract. Id skew numbers and pinch every penny out of them that I possible could in the deal.

And by the way, props to CP for calling it like it is, with these fucking idiots, Fedor and Vadim. Well done.

Can we really blame Fedor for this? I mean, what would you rather do? Sit around in geeky sweaters eating ice cream cones with a silly smirk on your face while clinging to a fabricated mystique…or, sign with the UFC and get completely destroyed by Brock Lesnar? Fedor fears the DeathClutch! Fedor and Vadim are both fucking pussies and his “legacy” will now die a slow death. Maybe Fedor can sign with a Japanese promotion and fight Barnett? That will give them about 15,000 PPV buys, and M-1 can slice that in half. Of course, half of zero is…well, you know…fucking zero. If Fedor is the best Heavyweight in the world, then that must mean that Frank Shamrock is the best Middleweight in the world. The joke of that comment is that Frank actually has faced better competition in recent years (Cung Le, for one) than Fedor has. Stay in motherfucking Russia, you douchebags.

@ Daddy_jeffy
I would never stoop so low as to deride your family. No class whatsoever.

This is a strategic news leak by the UFC. It has created a wave of anti Fedor sentiment which is exactly what they need. This offer was never made. The sole purpose of it is to make it look like Fedor is the one that is not making the deal happen. The UFC can now say ” We have given him more than enough and he still won’t come and fight”

Then all the bandwagoners will join in and chant “USA USA Fedor is a pussy” It undermines him and makes him look like he is scared of fighting Brock Lesnar. That way the UFC can claim to have the best heavyweight fighter in the world without having Fedor step into the ring.

@Androidrew
I was jess tryin’ to get your mom off the street and she came on to me.

Never thought i’d say this but, fuck you Fedor and Russia! Mostly all those fucked up internet shock videos are scum bag Russians. Russia=fail.

Thanks

>>> ROFLMAO!!!! What kind of fantasy-world are YOU living in? BOXING is a corrupt piece of shit industry and comparing what happens in Boxing to what happens in a TOTALLY-DIFFERENT sport is just plain idiotic in your case….but then again, you live in a village so…..

Oh yes… MMA is totally-different lol. This isnt a fighting based sport earning money with PPV ?? oh wait, it is.
=====================================
Let’s make it simple for simple minds.

First of all…as any other jobs being a fighter or a fight promoter is about one thing. MONEY.

Let’s says GSP and A.Silva wants to fight together and make as much money as possible. What’s the options ?? Getting a couple of millions from DW or self-promoting a PPV event that will draw like 25 millions or so ??

That’s business is all about.

i want vadim vs lesnar after hearing this shit.

I wouldn’t even pay that much for Fedor. What a joke. Its sad how they will pay Fedor 30 million yet they pay alot of fighters 8 FUCKING THOUSAND to fight. So dumb. Fuck these russian faggots.

@ Daddy_jeffy
I’m suprised you can find time to comment in between giving hobos blowjobs

Fedor is now (to steal a term from the NFL) Mr. Irrelevant.

He’s never going to fight top talent, and in my humble opinion the UFC Heavyweight Champion now trumps the WAMMA heavyweight title holder.

Time to move forward….

What a piece of work this Finkeldouche is…If I was DW, I’d have Brock Lesnar tag along just to call out Fedor for being the little pussy-ass bitch (or bitch-ass pussy) that he is in that press conference tomorrow. Then afterwards, for kicks, both of them have an ice cream cone for photo-ops.

I can’t even read anymore of this shit I hope they get hit by a double decker bus and dragged a couple of miles in the frozen tundra.

@xlifetimex

“The way i see it – title holders/main event fighters shold be getting a percentage of the PPV hits or have a HUGE wage increase.”

Lesnar already got a piece of the PPV which is how he made over $3M at UFC 100. That perk is going to be reserved for the biggest of the big draws. If GSP continues as he is, it wouldn’t surprise me that his next contract contains some of that.

Personally, I think that’s incentive to work harder and position yourself for that opportunity. If you start handing out big money automatically because of the more union-like system, you’ll get people just showing up and thinking “Eh… win or lose, I’m getting paid.” Make them work for it. And I don’t think $50-60K bonuses for mid-carders screams “underpaid”. Make them work for it. Find out who’s serious. Thiago Alves – talented kid, but showing up 4 pounds overweight doesn’t need to be rewarded. And if you can fight 2-3 times a year, you should be able to make it. If you can’t, then do like Brett Rogers and keep your job until you can. My point is that it’s not their God-given right to be super-paid just because they’re in the UFC. Some of the kickers in the NFL started out at $60K. I don’t begrudge GSP a dime. That guy works. Give him anything he wants. Everyone else? Earn it.

You mean there’s more to it than the five or six bullet points listed in this post?

who’s vedor? darth vedor?

Mike, I’d even go far as to say that more people in general know of KIMBO SLICE than Fedor.

Right now, this talk of Fedor passing on this alleged offer makes him look like he’s ducking legitimate competition on MMA sites and amongst MMA fans. If these sentiments ever made it outside of this little domain to a braoder audience, I can’t help but think being labelled a pussy would get under his skin. Is he such a robot that taunts of coward and pussy do not bother him? He is mystical last emperor indeed.

Hold the phone everybody!!

Over at bloodyelbow, M-1 told it side of the story(reported by Jonathan Snowden) :

“The numbers being floated there are a little misleading. The UFC’s offer of $30 million over six fights isn’t a guarantee,” Snowden learned from a source. “The number is based on Zuffa’s projections of what Fedor’s take of the PPV money would be, and the numbers they are projecting are based on selling a ton of PPV’s. The actual guarantee for Fedor is much more modest. It’s true that if business stays at record levels Fedor could walk away with $30 million. But that is no guarantee.”

very interesting.

@Sheps: I’d disagree with the fame part. He’s only well-known and regarded to the internet MMA world. I’d say more people in general know of Brock Lesnar than Fedor.

Good on him! He knows he has the power to get more so why should he sit back and take an offer he feels is below him?!

Man Fedor is the only mixed martial artist in the world to achieve his full potential money and fame wise. If anything Fedor is bigger than the UFC as a whole. The man is a god damn legend.

@ Androiddrew
That’s cause you aren’t that funny…

“Do you Know Who I Am?”

the Answer : A COWARD, Fedor. A STINKING COWARD.

Is M-1 Global even worth 30 million dollars plus a cut of the PPVs? For some reason I don’t think so. In fact outside of ex-Affliction I can’t even name an M-1 Promotion.

Bens have it right: Total fucking retards.

I saw it said best yesterday, and I am going to reiterate it here:

UFC without Fedor: Makes hundred of millions of dollars a year.

Fedor without UFC: Goes to Japan, sells a few thousand PPVs, retires as “Who’s Fedor” to the everday fan.

off-topic question :

Who deserves a contract? Sexyama or his Orange Coat? ;p

Ah Mr Bellic i need you to fix a problem for me……………………….Vadim Finkelchtein is the problem………………….

okay, I posted before I saw that nuclear was referring to someone else…but I’m not apologizing for any of it ’cause it’s absolutely RIDICULOUS to think that GSP or anyone would leave here to go somewhere else where getting paid is more an option than a requirement.

@ The Bens

FEDOR really needs to be striped of Number 1 after refusing this deal. No number 1 fighter in the world passes on this.

Fedor is using the UFC wanting him so bad to hype himself. If this offer is actually legit and he refuses, I lose all respect for him; poor management of not.

Good, UFC can spend the money on a proven draw in the UFC and the biggest star in the UFC right now Brock Lesnar, also on Canada’s biggest draw who can sell a ppv all over the states and the world GSP.

Fedor is just not that interested in fighting the best. Period, and there is no deny’n it now.

@nuclearblast: As we’ve seen before not only in MMA but other sports, some companies have no problem putting themselves into debt today for the slight hope that they’ll make it big tomorrow. Affliction tried it and would have probably failed in the long run if it weren’t for Barnett (Just looking at the fighter payroll per event).

>>> That still doesn’t discard the fact that GSP would be paid even LESS elsewhere than here.

Plus, comparing GSP to perhaps one of the most dominating boxers in history is kind of REACHING, don’t you think? I look at GSP more like a Holyfield-type…

“Fedor is winning this fight – UFC has a stranglehold on all the fighters. If they want him then they are going to have to pay for him.”

>>> You mean THIRTY FUCKING MILLION DOLLARS FOR JUST SIX FIGHTS ISN’T ENOUGH???? do you even re-read what you’ve posted? god….

“The way i see it – title holders/main event fighters should be getting a percentage of the PPV hits or have a HUGE wage increase. ”

>>> Fair enough but I’m not going to sit here and pretend to know just what’s going on behind the scenes. But I’ve got to ask you something : Has GSP HIMSELF stated that he is unhappy with his position in the UFC? has he done that at ANY POINT? If he hasn’t, then everything you stated is nothing but a whole bag of ASSUMPTION.

“Fuck UFC – Zuffa INC are ripping off the fighters.”

>>> And DW, Myself, Zuffa, and all UFC Fans say to you :

GO FUCK A DONKEY!

This smells like BS.

Seriously…who walks away from $30 million? If they could walk away from that cash AND the PPV buy points (which is major) what did they even come to the table for?

Honestly, the co-promotion was the deal breaker? Would the exposure been worth 30 million? Why would the UFC ever agree to that and allow M-1 to threaten their business?

It just sounds too bizarre.
