It's not about money for Fedor. It's not about the money just a Fedor fight would have drawn. They wanted to co-promote with UFC. Meaning they wanted to take in partnership and part of, probably half, the money from UFC events. Meaning they wanted money Fedor would draw and money that other fighters, they have nothing to do with, would draw.

Again, no.

From all reports M1 would take over the promotion internationally in cards Fedor was on. However, M1 would cover those costs and possibly a 50-50 split of all money spent on each card Fedor was on.

People constantly act like M1 was wanting to put Fedor on a card, get paid for that, then get paid for revenue from the card as well. That just simply is not true.

Why did Bill Belichick walk off the field during the Super Bowl? Why did LeBron walk off the court against the Magic? Why did the Pistons walk off the court versus the Bulls?

People like to get caught up in this whole 'classiness' and honestly, it's a load of garbage. You get a load of testosterone flowing through those veins, have sacrificed the last 3 months of your life to sparring, lifting, conditioning, eating right .. basically putting your body through absolute hell to go in and under-perform to what you know you are capable of by getting your head treated like a basketball? I'd be ticked off to.

But hey, that's just me.

Anyone that thinks like that is a disgrace to their profession.

people have emotions and sometimes that causes them to do things they wouldn't normally do. I'm so sick of mma fans who bad mouth fighters if they don't all act the same nd show 100% respect. maybe some of these guys don't like or respect each other amongst other things. it gets old, these guys are humans not programmed robots(except for a few cyborgs).

It's not about showing 100% respect, in the ring Anderson jokes around and shows off at times and looks a little bit like *** but before and after the fight, he is respectful to his opponent.

In Basketball and Football, respecting your opponent isn't neccesary a cornerstone of learning but in martial arts, it is. You don't have to like a guy to respect him as an opponent.

Talking smack about someone is different from showing them disrespect, Brock didn't disrespect Mir till after the fight when he taunted him, and it's real easy to gloat after you've won.

Brock is a terrible example to use to prove your point, the guy is a total ******.

actually he's a perfect example cause his emotions got to him just like Forrest. Anderson isn't the most respectful guy either with his bad mouthing a lot of his former training partners in Shogun and Wandy.
