What MMA has is a lack of professional management for fighters. I train under fighters who were a pros in the 80s before there was what is called MMA, and they says even then you had someone looking out for your best interests. They made money, they prospered if they were good. Good Management.
Today, you have nonsense. Fighters who put it all on the line for peanuts, yet do not have the expertise to tell the promoter to shove it.
Fighters (if given the right representation), simply don't have to fight in the opinion of my trainers. Pay what they're owed, dont fight if you dont get it.
The Fighters hold all the cards. It's poor management why they dont make more. Most fighters dont know any better. They take what's offered instead of telling promoters to shove it. I fight for this or else. In the 80's fighters told promoters that if they wanted to have a fight you better pay me XYZ.
That's why guys like benny the Jet are still rich and Don Wilson, and Joe Lewis, and Chuck Norris.
