I think you're way off base Fonize..maybe not on priviledged athletes, but definitely on Rampage. Rampage is so down to earth, it's not even funny. Almost all of the professional MMA fighters are. WHY? Cause up until recently, they didn't make shit. they still don't make shit compared to what they go through! I agree, someone making millions of dollars to swing a bat is crazy..but teams pay that because that million dollar investement brings in much more money on the back end. That being said, when you step up to the plate, you're not putting your health on the line. MMA fighters are putting their BODIES ON THE LINE every fight. They deserve to get paid decently. THERE IS NO RETIREMENT PLAN. THERE IS NO UNION. THERE ARE NO HEALTH BENEFITS. THEY DO NO MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A FIGHT. So you know what ? All that hundres of thousands they make (only for the top athletes...the low and mid level guys don't make anywhere near that) has to go to paying their doctors bills..paying their trainers...etc. Only the top level guys get sponsorship that means anything. I'm not saying Rampage's job is more important than yours or mine..but to suggest that he is overpaid shows a lack of knowledge on your part. it's not a flame..I'm just pointing out facts here. Rampage couldn't do your job, and I'm pretty sure you can;t do his job. Yeah it sucks that teachers and cops and the like don't make the kind of money they do..but this is HIS JOB. He is putting his BODY and well being on the line every day when he trains, and definitely in the ring. He deserves to be compensated...and trust me, Dana White ain't paying all that well compared to what he's pulling in.
