    Wow, 8k to lose in a prelim at a women’s tuf finale. Pretty good compared to boxing where men fight on major ppvs for a few nickels. Mayweather had 4 fighters on his last ppv make $3500 each, they weren’t insured and they probably had more experience than these women. Hahahaha.

    D you’r an idiot!! Boxers would pay to be on an undercard of the greatest Boxer pfp!
    Managers fight to get onto a show like that! You have no clue how show biz or sports promotion works, you are an amateur to the fullest extreme. Getting your name out there and having people see you is key into investing and developing a fighter, something that the UFC has no clue how to do, god forbid a ufc fighter gets too big and asker for real money! This Tuf card was decent considering it was done in a movie theater, ha ha, But lets get real, no one on tis card will ever make a fortune fighting, a living barley! Keep up your bullshit its hysterical what an idiot you are. hahahah

    HAHAHA!! There is an e at the end of you’re, moron, thus proving why you are the idiot once again.

    Well, they essentially are paying. And by the way, so would any up and coming fighter in mma pay to fight on a ufc card. Again, from someone who doesn’t know anything about mma/boxing, the business between either sport, or basic business practices in general, it is amusing listening to you claim anyone else doesn’t get it.

    Yeah, and how bad is it that this lowly venue produced women who lost that made more than double what Mayweather’s prelimers are making. HAHAHAHA!!

    Keep sucking Arum’s dick you little fag. HAHAHA!

What are you going to do in 2015 when Dana can’t pay you to post your dribble ? you r a moron! And no UFC fighter can pay to be on a card because non of them have any money and they aren’t going to make any money anyhow so whats the point. Thanks for the spell check, why don’t you fact check and do the numbers for PPV in 2014 hahahahahaha suck that!!!! hah hahahahaha 15 will be worse for the UFC oh wait cm punk vs rousey haha

    Sadaqueef can’t complete sentences, misspells common words, can not form thoughts and then accuses others of rambling on which is amusing.

    Saldaqueef is obviously a disciple of Bob Arum’s gay behavior patterns. He forces Sal to suck his dick on a daily basis and spew his bullshit propaganda on mma websites.

    “And no UFC fighter can pay to be on a card because non of them have any money and they aren’t going to make any money anyhow so whats the point. ”

    Right because the 20 something fighters from the South Bronx that pay to fight on Mayweather’s undercards are rolling in the dough. Hahaha! Yeah, they’ve got a great financial future of headlining ESPN cards for 5k. HAHAHAHA!! The boxing pay scale is 10x worse than mma. The low ranking fighters make way more in mma, you dumb fuck.

    Sal is going to continue to squirm when the UFC has another year in 2015 where they dominate the ppv market over boxing. Uncle Bobbi will have him working overdrive. HAHAHAHA!!
