Great piece on Bob Sapp. If you didn’t laugh reading about the dildo made of “his likeness” and being compared to a horse, then you need your head checked.
Tim Sylvia a little while ago complained how Brock Lesnar was getting paid more then him. He then talked about how Monte Cox was part of M-1, yada, yada, yada….
And he has basically done two things with this interview he did.
1. He made Monte Cox look like a fool. Because Cox had said in the past that his managing of fighters and his role as CEO of M-1 would not have a conflict of interest.
2. Now that Dave Meltzer is reporting that UFC 81 had a preliminary estimate of 600,000 PPV Buys, it shows how much selling power that Brock Lesnar has to the general public (or at least Pro Wrestling Public). Which means he was worth every cent, if not more. And definitely more then Tim Sylvia, would couldn’t sell out a gym with his name value alone, even if he was paying for people to come….
