Reebok is 50% to blame, they aren't dumb. They looked at the deal and did the math and found out the AVG. Revenue per fighter.
You think a major corporation such as Reebok didn't do the math to realize they are fucking fighters out of a tonne of money? Reebok got a killer deal, one they couldn't say no too, someone needs to tell them when it sounds too good to be true it is.
Signing 500+ professional athletes for 70 million dollars (the fighters barely get half) is a steal in any sport. Reebok seen this and jumped on it. Reebok and the UFC both took advantage of fighters and both have greatly changed fighter pay for the worse.
Reebok released their little PR statement to try and shift the blame to the UFC and apparently some people bought it.
As for this Wanderlei shit are you seriously considering anything a career long cheat and fight fixer has to say about his former employer seriously? This is like that dude that tells you how much of a hoe your girl is till you break up with her and he gets back with her. Why doesn't Wandy talk about Pride or Dream? You know the ones with CONFIRMED FIXES HE WAS A PART OF.
Fuck Wanderlei Silva guy is a piece of shit human being who never should have been signed by the UFC.
Brazillians gotta love the fact their image has gone to shit, Wanderlei Silva, RDA's Eyebrows, Anderson Silva, etc.etc.etc. Seems 1-2 times a month a Brazillian is caught cheating. From having the best fighters on the planet to being an entire country of whiny cheaters in under a year. Pretty fuckin impressive if you ask me.
How long before Eyebrows gets busted for HGH? He's not legit, there's no way. Mediocre fighter's forehead starts to look like frankenstein and becomes an unstoppable wrecking machine Just coincidence.
Also: Wanderlei was never a top tier guy in the UFC he was in pride where there are quite a few questions around the legitimacy of some of his wins.
