Fighters used to do this as a side job. My roommate in college had Rich Franklin as a teacher in HS. I disagree with the make money fight better comment. If Tito made a million rather than 200k. Or are you referring to people who make 10k? If so that’s like saying someone in the NFL making league minimum would play like LT if paid like LT. It is a free market economy if someone is willing to pay more to see this person fight they can leave and get a better contract. But I disagree with the idea of paying someone more than they are worth just because.
I also love the “stick together” and foreigners coming in and stealing jobs comment after the union reference.
I know we will not agree on this, but the alternative for these fighters is obviously worse than what they are doing or they wouldn’t be doing it (I’m a finance guy with a minor in economics and you are a pro union guy, we are not going to see eye to eye on many things). Remember Jon Koppenhaver aka War Machine, he was crying on the show because he didn’t know how to do anything else.
