I saw a documentary on Cinemax about the UFC guys, can't remember the dudes name but he had a rocking pain killer addiction and Mark Coleman, when he was pretty big, was living in an sub-par apartment with a wife and a kid.

The regular fighters make a couple grand a fight it ain't shit. It's gotten so bad that nobody in my school even wants to support them anymore and we usually have one guy pay and then make copies for everyone else.They shined on full contact fighter and all the other media that has helped build them too. That's why so many fighters have left for Pride they treat people like crap. The way they look at the fighters over in Japan is different too. Frank Shamrock said he made 10k just off endorsements under the table when he fought there last. THe market is huge here and the UFC is making money hand over fist there is no reason for them to be such asshats to everyone. The prodigy BJ Penn got so pissed at the scraps they wanted to give him started his own fights called Rumble on the Rock.

I would support them if we could just get some PPV events offered.
