Comments on: Dana White’s admission that will likely not get much attention but really should http://www.fightopinion.com/2008/10/22/dana-whites-admission-that-will-likely-not-get-much-attention-but-really-should/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:26:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Russell http://www.fightopinion.com/2008/10/22/dana-whites-admission-that-will-likely-not-get-much-attention-but-really-should/comment-page-1/#comment-56680 Russell Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:48:33 +0000 http://www.fightopinion.com/?p=2729#comment-56680 Honestly, is a disc jockey / radio talk show host considered a journalist? Even using the term "media" is a stretch. How many times do you hear your local radio DJ advertising that he will be at a local car dealer and to come out to get the best deals, etc. Isn't that the same thing Ferrall and UFC were doing? Scott Ferrall and the Howard Stern chennels are far from the New York Times / Newsweek / CNN, etc. This is simply a company doing some good marketing with their exact target demographic. There is nothing illegal at all about it. Honestly, is a disc jockey / radio talk show host considered a journalist? Even using the term “media” is a stretch.

Ferrall was never paid a dime because the the UFC only paid the people who pay him, so he never received any of it. Truly compelling arguments.

Who knows what happened, but I am glad Ferrall is gone form MMA. Maybe Dana could hold a press conference and produce the cashed checks he made out to Ferrall.

Ferrall was NEVER paid a DIME by the UFC. Scott has been a friend of mine for a long time. I have hung out with him and the Sirius crew at many UFC fights in Vegas and Anaheim. He never asked for any money and all the UFC gave him EVER was 2 seats to the fights, and paid his airfare and hotel....NOTHING more. Dana....you are on top of the world right now but the people that made this possible for you, the Fertita brothers, are in DEEP financial shit with their Station Casinos in Vegas...they are damn near bankrupt. I love MMA and the UFC, despite Dana White. The UFC is hot right now, but with a series of VERY marginal fights lately (did anyone really care about Bisping /Leben ??? Really ? as a MAIN event ? Not exactly Liddell/Ortiz). And, Dana's biggest box office draws (Ortiz/Liddell and Couture) are DONE with the UFC. Ortiz is with Affliction because Dana continually fucked with him. Liddell is now a "has been" and has lost 3 of his last 4 fights (Jackson, Jardine and Evans by BRUTAL knockout in the 1st round) . Couture is ONLY going to fill out his contract with the UFC in November and then HE is history too, probaly also going to fight for the "T-Shirt Guys". Now that Trump is on board with Affliction, as is Golden Boy/De La Hoya, and the fact the Afffliction has Fedor, they WILL have Couture, along with guys like Ortiz and Arlovsky already, and all of this after ONE major fight event, the UFC SHOULD be very nervous. All the UFC has left in terms of really big names are Anderson Silva, Georges St. Pierre and BJ Penn...alll the best in their weightclasses by far. Maybe Forrest Griffin and Rampage as well. But Dana will do his typical thing and somehow ruin those relationships too. As they say Dana...pride comes before the fall. Enjoy it while it lasts, but quit being a fucking LIAR.

I don't think that Sportscenter was doing a Zuffa lube job to try to lure UFC into a broadcast deal. ESPN can't even put together a single editorial message on something like soccer (or MMA), most of the time. They pay people, for the most part, to speak their minds, not to say something specific.
