Thanks Macedawgg and p0id0g, learned alot from your exchanges.

Could driving up the price of an elite fighter, through licensing, eliminate other orgs. ability to sign top fighters, indirectly lowering the fighters value?

An org. without licensing agreements for fighters have that many less ways to pay or attract elite fighters to their org, while the UFC can meet the fighters demands though many different channels - licensing agreements, etc.

I must apologize. I read that entire agreement on the link and that is a bullshit contract.

UFC get 80 percent royalties even if they do let u do something else.
Yeah thats some indentured servant shit for sure. but some UFC dudes who dont know any better will sign it.

Are you an MMA fan, or a UFC fan?

please tell me the difference between MMA and UFC.
Because last time I checked UFC used the unified rules... which make them MMA.

Wow, sherdog was not the place for this topic.

very sad if a fighter doesn't get one bit of money from their selves being sold at stores.

Yes you would be correct. This is why the fighters need some kind of union and a pension.

Why would that be?

Umm, didn't anyone notice that they're giving 10% of GROSS revenue to the fighters and not net revenue. If fighters were getting only 10% of net revenues then there would be something to bitch about.
