Sorry, but these "should be happy" arguments are retarded. It's condescending towards the fighters and treats them like lower class athletes. A fighter should be entitled to the same percentages as other sports.

No UFC fighter gear will ever sell as much as NBA or NFL gear and that's why it's all the more important they receive a fair percentage of the profits on par with other pro athletes.
