The Show Money crew is Paul the economist, Jason the lawyer, and John the man who knows everyone and everything in MMA. In today’s episode, the guys discuss GSP’s contract dispute with the UFC, leading into thoughts on WME-IMG’s first few months of UFC ownership, and the show ends with the clusterf#@k that seems to be the World Series of Fighting.
What are GSP’s legal options and will he fight in 2017? Might he gain leverage by trying to put on his own pay-per-view? How will WME’s $4 billion purchase of the UFC affect fighter pay? How have its fighter relations been so far? And how is the World Series of Fighting still in business?
The show was recorded last Thursday and there was a problem with the video, so it will be audio-only today. Subscribe to the MMA Nation YouTube channel for all sorts of video goodness and visit the YouTube link if you have any trouble with the embedded video.
