Lightweight veteran Renato Moicano recently removed the headlines revealing that he turned money That would be paid for the recent UFC Antitrust right case.
The settlement of $ 375 million is distributed to hunters who competed between 2010 and 2017 to promote Moicano among those who make a payout. Although lawyers who apply the settlement stated that about 97 percent of the funds paid for funds, there are a few holdouts such as Moicano who have passed on the money.
UFC legend Matt Brown is one of those hunters who are paid from the court case and although he doubts whether Moicano actually rejects the money, he believes that even the public statement today speaks to a greater problem that athletes are confronted with.
“I wonder if that is true or not. I think Moicano might say that in public, but I don’t know if that really is the case,” Brown said up The hunter versus the writer. “I doubt that what knows what in things.
“There are very, but very few people who have not signed up to get their money. I doubt that Moicano is one of them to be honest. It doesn’t make him better to say that. I don’t think someone is like” Wow, Bro, you’re f*cking brand loyal, good for you! ” No, everyone is like an idiot for this. “
Moicano explained his decision to reject the money after he “agreed to the conditions of the contract” and those conditions paid him at a rate that was “a huge deal” for him.
After having spent 15 years in the UFC, Brown understands that loyalty to the promotion just goes so far, especially with the way things are now being done. During the start of his UFC career, Brown felt like the organization was a family with just a few important managers at the top who made decisions, but that is no longer the case after Endeavour had bought the organization for more than $ 4 billion in 2016.
Since then, Brown says that the UFC is no different than another company that is on a mission to earn money and treat everything as a company.
In fact, the settlement of $ 375 million is proof that the UFC even deals with the lawsuit as a company movement, because the potential losses to be tried and losing could be much greater.
“It’s a company now. You don’t change Dana’s day at all [by taking the money]”Said Brown.” As soon as the lawsuit was arranged, Dana [White] Didn’t think so after that. He claims that he has not thought about it before, but I doubt whether that is actually the case. But after it was arranged, it was a drop in the bucket for them, the amount of money. It is also writing off all things for them, which is not a depreciation for us. We have to pay taxes on it, but it is a depreciation for the UFC, which is insanity for me.
“It’s a company. It is as if Apple had a Class Action right against them and had to pay and then you said:” No, I love my iPhone. “It’s literally the same.
Brown believes that hunters who, for whatever reason, try to favor the UFC, speak a much bigger problem in sport.
In contrast to, for example, the NFL with 32 teams that all compete against each other and compete for the same pool of players, which then leads to larger and larger contracts that are offered and paid, the UFC has set up a much different structure.
As the largest and only profitable MMA company that is currently active in the sport, Brown knows that hunters are all trying to compete for the UFC and that ultimately gives the organization a huge lead when it comes to negotiations and how much money is paid to the athletes.
“What this sport has become, the way the UFC built it is not correct,” said Brown. “What it leads to the way it is built – if you are Dana White, it is appropriate, if you are on the business side, you have sold your company for $ 4 billion, you have done the right thing for yourself and your company. The company does not give things to do things right. The company gives money to earn money and that is what the company is for.
“The promoters have to compete for the hunters. With the way the UFC is structured and built, the hunters who compete for Dana’s recognition and Dana’s love. That is completely opposite as it should be.”
Brown believes that it all comes down to the central problem that fighters are now testing too much, especially when someone like Micano simply passes on money by him.
“Moicano, instead of taking money for which he fought as a price -maker, he wants Dana’s love and recognition more than the money, thinking that it will give him more money in the future,” said Brown. “That should be a very f*cking sign of how this script is and how F*CBE is real.”
