Top stars will rely on UFC’s ‘Desire to put their hand in their pocket’ without pay-per-view points

“The UFC will have to find a way to allow the stars [to earn more without pay-per-view points]. The boys who stand out, who deserve to get more paid because of their actions, successes and risks they take to achieve those successes, what they give to sport, what they give the fans – they deserve to continue to earn money at higher levels because their growth in sport demand that they get higher purches. The sport will have to find a way to make that happen and it is not that difficult. “

“Pay-per-view points were a way, now there is an old-fashioned way. Do you know what that old-fashioned way is? Go in your pocket. The money is there. Instead of saying it is facilitated by the pay-per-view songs. No, it is facilitated by two things. Take it out and dive out to let it earn it.

UFC has surpassed boxing

“Boxing was surpassed [by the UFC]And it hurts me to say this, in the way of popularity – not when it comes to the big, big fighting, not when it came to generation battle, not when it came to the Superstar fighting, but there is only a certain amount of them, if it came, our universe was greater. “

“But on a consistent base, day in, day out, week in, week out. I hate to say it, but I am not here to lie. The UFC has surpassed us. I am not talking about the figures when it was a big pay-per-view show, no, I have been posting the stowage of wekeline numbers on a week of wekeline numbers.

They surpassed boxing. And the reason they won, they had a better chef. Their restaurant suddenly had a better chef. They postponed more competitive battles. It was not complicated. The formula was simple: the most competitive fights that every fight is competitive. “

‘After 40 seconds they have to get up’ – UFC must evolve as a basketball and baseball with wrestling ‘shot clock’

“Everything has to adjust. People have less attention span if you have not noticed it today than 20 years ago. They want quickly. They want satisfaction. Everything. They want the boom, boom, boom. And struggling does not always give you that.”

“Baseball was too slow, so they put a clock on it. The pitcher had to come in there and lose the ball within 20 seconds or whatever it was. Whatever the clock was, he had to get rid of it.”

“The game started to go faster. Baseball became healthy again. Fans started coming to the stadium. The network started to have good grades again. That is what they did. They started to go in the wrong direction. And they have adapted. They have adapted what they had to see here. It is the same here. [UFC]. Baseball made the adjustment. They all make the adjustments because they don’t want to lose the money. And you must be able to see that. And Nick Diaz was right. And he’s right. And they will have to see it. And they have to make an adjustment, whether that adjustment is a kind of shot clock ”.

“They got a shot clock in the NBA, which is another adjustment. They put a shot clock where you couldn’t kill ten minutes by passing a ball because you had a lead. The sport was attractive because it was competitive, it was exciting. ”

‘Wily’ Jon Jones who from view the retario

“I think Jon Jones is smart enough, slijs enough, experienced enough, and of course he has that greatness to be labeled the goat, that he could almost have planned this. Don’t put that past him, where he could say:” Okay, I was retired. Maybe I would have to come back to generate interest in the number of y.

Peira beats

“Pereira can do it because he has that kind of talent, that kind of explosiveness. An error with him, and he touches you with that left hook, he puts both hand to be honest, but man, that left hook is really, really special – it’s explosive, it’s powerful, and he is athletic with his kicks, you can’t sleep on that man.” He is so dangerous. “

“I chose Ankalaev to win for the first time, by the way. And the reason I chose them was to win, and I said this because I worked ESPN for that fight was that he checked about his aggression. Even with the striking one he didn’t get anymore. Desperate.

I credit Sean O’Malley for ‘uncomfortable’ Conor McGregor -Obes

“He was brutally honest and explored himself and was introspective of himself, investigated himself, what many of us do not do. We have the opportunity to do it, but we don’t have the guts to do it. We don’t have the fear of doing it because it is uncomfortable.

“Sometimes you have to get ahead. And I think O’Malley was doing that. If he gets ahead, he is still young, if he still has a career, and I say ‘as’ – he has to go back to continue. You are a better chance to succeed in your arena, whatever that is, but just to put you at ease in the most important arena in the world.
