i heard until the guy starting asking about betting ,man i just wanted to punch him
I watched most of it, man there are some dumb *** people asking dumb *** questions it’s so frustrating. I want to know where the outrageous numbers that Kevin Iole came up with a week ago of Randy making $14-16 million, came from. I’m pretty sure no one addressed that issue.
I just got back from work guys.. guess im gonna have to wait till the presser is over.. that link isnt working for me
….. YEA… THE UFC EMPIRE I HOPE DOES NOT BECOME CORUPT
patrick
i dont think the word corrupt is correct ,i kinda get the feeling of dana being napoleanic in a way
The problem is if Dana isn’t in COMPLETE control of everyone around him… he freaks and starts dropping f-bombs and threats… stupid.. you cannot have and EGOMANIAC / HOT HEAD in charge of an organization like this.. you need cold hard rational with a pr savvy and he has no savvy he is a my way or the highway type of fellow…
..hhhhmmmmm.. I also see that Randy did make over a million per fight… not even Chuckie made that in his last fight… so considering it all…. yeah the UFC made Randy a freakin MILLIONAIRE and I think that they will work a deal, it always sucks when a guy marries some mouthy winch and she gets in there and puts crap in a man’s head… just like in the beginning… I remember Kurt Warner was awesome, until his beotch of a lib wife starts making comments off the record on radio shows, and websites… caused huge rifts between the Rams’ staff and Warner, eventually cause Warner to have to move out because the guy wasn’t gonna throw his new wife under a bus… I think if Randy’s fairly new wife would SHUT UP and leave all this along.. Randy would be fine, but just like any idiot woman she’s gotta get in his ear and say crap like “their just using you” or “your worth more than that” simply cause she wants to be in control of a famous mans career and she wants more pie to buy more Gucci… plain and simple… he is a Millionaire, and there are guys like Wanderlei that are only getting 50k per fight so I think that Randy will repair the rift within 8 months and fight Nog…. either that or he will have to relinquish the belt and due to age have to retire because NOBODY is 100% TIMELESS… every month counts when your in your mid 40′s…
I hope White shells out some final BIG bucks to get Randy in there so they can part ways in an amicable fashion and Randy can retire with honor while the UFC can keep him in the Hall of Fame without the stigma of embarrassment surrounding the relationship and parting of ways…
big nog is a top guy it would be an awesome move for randy to fight him
This thing will battle out in court. If randy decide to settle this dispute now, it’s almost as if he admitted mistake or ‘chicken out’. I don’t see he can turn back the clock. It’s too late already. It’s too late when he showed the contract live. Disclosing contract like that is unprecedented. Bad move by randy and his lawyer.
UFC seems to provide decent prove of pay etc in this conference. I actually believe both ufc and randy. I think there is a misunderstanding here. Too bad that they didn’t work it out behind close door. Once something like this goes public, it hard to undo. I can only see court battle from now on. I hope randy doesn’t do another live conference because it will damage his reputation. It’s hard to continue to convince your fans that it’s not about the money when every disagreement boils down to bonus etc. AND yes, his wife definitely has a part to play in this fiasco. Got to be careful with women, man. Hope randy learn his lesson.
Lorenzo is pretty classy. I like the way he handled this way more than ufc egomaniac dana. If it’s up to dana, he probably say lets take this outside. It’s fight!
I still don’t see how Dana has the nerve to say that Fedor is not even in the top 5 Heavies in the world. I mean, the guy beat Nog, Herring, Cro Cop, etc. These are guys that Dana once considered or still considers the UFC’s top fighters. He beat a guy (Nog), that Dana is grooming to be champion.
1.Randy signed the deal. He has no room to *****.
2.He made a lot of money. He has no room to *****.
3. After watching this presser, I’m convinced that Captain America is a *****.
I gotta agree. After watching the presser I think Randy looks really bad in this one.
DOC….
I THINK TODAY IS THE FINAL HEARING OF SHAWN SHERKS APPEAL… WILL YA KEEP UP ON THAT THROUGH UR CONNECTIONS AND MAKE A POST VERY CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS
Randy is so screwed on this issue. I think he made a bad mistake.
I think the misunderstanding part is he doesn’t know how ufc management works. He was upset because ufc did not gave him bonus for the gonzaga fight. But little did he know that ufc can’t give the bonus to him until the bills been paid to all the tv station etc before ufc themselves get the money.
Plus, he thought that locker room bonus were under the table but according to ufc, they are not because they are well recorded and also those money is actually taxable. Randy should know that those taxable money can’t be under the table. Now it even brings up to attention that could he had not reported all this under the table bonus that he received from ufc to the IRS. If anybody deem that is the case, randy could get investigated by the taxman!! He could be in a whole lot of trouble rather than just contract dispute with the ufc.

Yeah, as I get news I’ll post it here of course.
LOL RANDYS ONE OF THOSE ******* WHO ISNT HAPPY MAKING 200,000 PLUS… PESH.. SURE BEATS MY 30,000 A YR… WHAT AN ***… BITE THE BIG ONE … ANOHTER BRANDON VERA ON OUR HANDS
It’s hard to argue with signed checks. I still think the truth lies somewhere in the middle on this but the UFC did have some real arguments. Sounds like the UFC is willing to mend things and I hope Randy does the same. A fight with Big Nog would be great but I don’t know if Randy would come back after all this. Hopefully Randy will swallow some pride and honor his last couple of fights.
yeah,big nog is still up there among the heavyweights probably 2 in that weight class so i think randy should fight big nog

Your both correct no two ways about it

Yesir.. Gatties you saw it before ANY of us… good call man.. who would have known, but behind the scenes … I really think its more of the PEOPLE Randy has around him now… his manager, agent, and wife… they are putting crap in his head.. he would be wise to cut some ties..
so in the end who’s side is everyone on is it randy or dana?i like randy ,the way he presents himself and the respect he shows others ,i think he maybe went a little overboard on his decision to leave.

Come on kansas except for the wandy thing me and u see eye to eye on most things
its hard for anyone to be on Randys side at this point.. when you look back at what they did for Randy, the opportunities he got that nobody else did, the kind of money he made that almost nobody else did. Its kind of hard to try and examine the things he DIDNT get, because of everything the UFC has lavished on him, it looks a little greedy on his part. Especially that whole thing about his likeness rights thing way back when they first bought the company.. man.. kind of petty there Randy.
From Danas own mouth he said he considered Randy to be almost a partner, im thinking Randy wanted to erase the “almost” lol.
bvrasp
at the end do u mean sexual partner of homie partner?
no Richard.. i meant like business partner LOL
oops
