UFC Merchandising Agreement - Fighters Get Scammed

[Deadshallweep]

That's disgusting. This really makes me hope for serious competition for Zuffa just so this sort of thing doesn't happen to fighters anymore.

its 10% total, split up among all the fighters involved in that product line.

lol...im sure the 10% will be distributed differently....like i dont see chuck getting the same amount as someone like clay guida.

fighters that came from nowhere get their own video game and paid for it? im sold.....whats the problem here? do you think the ufc is doing any advertising for this game at all? are the fighters paying for that? what about the liscensing and merchindising? are the fighters paying for that? no, the ufc is.....and all the fighters have to do is look tough and pose....whoa....someone call strike!

The autograph restriction and the lifetime duration of the contract are total nonsense.
Same with DVDs and vid. games. Not to mention that there's no transparency.
How much is the UFC getting from sponsors like Harley Davidson and Anheuser Busch?
I know they have a lot of expenses to pay, but the more I read, the more I tend to side with the athletes.

The UFC is behaving like an industrial tycoon over factory workers.

Whatever Dana

WHY DONT YOU ASK YO MAMA AND UR SIS HOW QUEER i AM BITCH

[TitaniumChin]

bullshit..........they do all the fighting, all the hard work and all they get is 10% of sales and 20% royalties.

what a joke, bu tin reality they are the tools that sign the contract.........fighters should just tell dana sorry I dont want to do this.

you know if affliction takes off and does well i see a lot fighters leaving for greener pastures where they have a lo tmore respect and better yet more pay to train full time at a great camo and support their families.
