Ever thought that Jon Jones is just leveraging his value for the highest pay possible?

One of the most spoken things on this sub is something along the lines of «UFC underpays their fighters», yet probably the greatest fighter of all time Jon Jones is leveraging his position for more pay, and its a bad thing? Bones has been been in this game for close to 20 years, do you really think he doesnt know what he is doing? That he doesnt know how to leverage his worth? Bones has fought fighters who where at the time considered way better than Aspinall, do you really think BONES of all fucking people are scared? Or is he leveraging his value to get the most out of the fight? Bones has destroyed his image to the point he wont earn any money doing ads and sponsorships for probably his life, he needs to earn as much as he can, when he can. He does have a family to take care of, so why is it a bad thing when he is leveraging his worth to get as much money as possible from Dana White and the UFC? The MMA community is more or less doing Dana’s job for him by calling him a duck. But Bones doesnt care, he needs that money. Dana knows it, Bones knows it. So why not for once try to see Bones’ side, and personally i support him in taking as much money out of Dana’s pocket as possible. submitted by /u/the_big_focher [link] [comments]
