what's not to understand? they probably just feel like he is asking too much, even for him.

Surprisingly, Rich Franklin's PPV numbers are crap. Every single main event he's in sucked.

Yeah really Tito is like 200k PPV buys himself he has to be worth a raise unless his lowish number vs Rashad are that big a deal.

Yeah Tito always says that in his UFC bashing interviews. How UFC doesnt treat their fighters well, and how their biggest draw are " Liddell, Couture, myself.... uhm Couture". He said that in the very last interview I heard from him, exactly like that.

You would think with all the TUF noobs the buys would be higher by now.

Couture isn't a big draw like everyone thinks is he now?
