    That's GSP's way of saying he won't take the fight because he is scared. No way in hell Dana pays him 50 mil, that is just absurd.

    Straka: Georges St. Pierre wants $50 million to fight Anderson Silva

    Dude, is that one word really worth you stating my post was a misquote. It's actually not, considering it doesn't matter who made up the comment, it's still a report.

    Well considering it's Stratka claiming a little bird told him this, and not actually GSP, it's misleading. People will think GSP has said it, when that's not the case.

    Case in point:

    How is it misleading? It's a report. Not an actual statement. This is meant to be informative, and it's quite possible St. Pierre did such a thing. That's why I put "report" in front of the article. Because it could or could not be true.

    It's a report on a statement by Stratka, not a report on a statement from GSP. The very reason why mma mania titled it the way they did, when you changed the title it became misleading. If you listen to the MMA Beat and what Straka said, it's nothing more than "hear say".

    Actually, I posted what was on the main page, which is a totally different title than that.

    You posted the shortened link title to the article, not the article title, then pasted the actual article under it, while neglecting to post the actual title, but as long as you're pointing how you misquoted the title, we're all good.

    Just a rumor.

    Yep, just like Silva is scared of Bones. Weight matters. It affects ur speed nuthugger. Id rather watch Silva vs Bones anyways. Its a better fight for me.
  14. smfowns4 Well-Known Member

    What's more sad is the fact that "Bones" is scared of Silva too. No excuses there.

    Did anyone watch the MMA beat ? That Mike Straka is a tool kept interrupting and said G.S.P is not important because he was out for 18 months.... well he's back now.As soon as that was mentioned Luck Thomas completely discredited it I think it's just here say if you ask me.

    Meh. Even though it is a complete rumor, GSP should start negotiating for the fight with a very high number, you don't start where you want to end up. They will sell 70K plus tickets, get insane event sponsors, and probably set MMA PPV records. Whether it's GSP v. Silva or Jones v. Silva, the fighters in those fights should get paid what they are worth. That would be well over 20 million a guy. UFC would have a bidding war for sponsors for the fight.

    as an avid Silva nut hugger he did say something worse than that when it came to fighting jones. The rumor was he wanted "half the ufc"

    Its about time UFC fighters got paid some serious dough.

    More polls? Christ bout you start a poll on whether we think you do to many

    On a side note: I dont think Anderson would "end his career". Maybe put a Koscheck style beating on him, but not end his career. Worst case scenario would be a broken face & 6 month medical suspension. Not worth 50mil. Especially when Anderson is going to deserve as much, if not more of the purse. Both will make a TON, but $50mil is a bit silly.

    So if they could do 1.5 million buys at an average of $55 each (in Canada its $60) you're looking at what... $82,500,000. Plus what is a live gate on 90,000 people? GSP is still looking for half? Seems like a reasonable place to start negotiations ;) hahah
