00:00People, like, you know, debate it a lot.

00:02Like, you know, would you get punched in the face by Anthony Joshua

00:06and get your jaw broken in three different places for $92 million?

00:10And I think the answer is yes, right?

00:13Yeah, of course you would.

00:15But the thing is, the difference is, say what you will about Jake Paul,

00:18but, like, if Anthony Joshua punched me in the face

00:23like he punched Jake Paul in the face,

00:25I would have more than just a broken jaw.

00:28I might have, like, brain damage.

00:30Right?

00:30Like, give credit to Jake Paul that he ate the shot and stuff like that.

00:34So it's not as easy as just, oh, yeah, like, it's like, okay, yeah,

00:37you might have brain damage, you know what I mean?

00:39Like, you're not a professional fighter.

00:41You're not, like, Jake Paul at least trains and gets punched, et cetera.

00:44Like, the average person gets punched like that from Anthony Joshua.

00:47They could die.

00:48So, but imagine telling someone, yeah, do you want to fight Brock Lesnar

00:52in a real fight or get punched in the face by Anthony Joshua like that

00:56in a real fight for $90,000?

00:58He'd be like, no, the medical bills alone will be more than $90,000, right?

01:06So, yeah, like, so affliction was paying big-time money.

01:10The UFC now, Cormier basically said that fighters are making a lot more money now

01:15and stuff, and I have a lot of respect for Cormier as a fighter,

01:20but I'll be honest with you.

01:23I don't take a lot of what he says about UFC contracts when he is an employee

01:32of the UFC, you know what I'm saying?

01:35Like, I don't expect Daniel Cormier to go on a podcast and start talking about

01:40how fighters are greatly underpaid and the UFC is making so much money off of

01:45fighters as somebody that gets paid by them.

01:50So I'm not sure that Cormier said words about how, oh, yeah, you know,

01:54I don't know, people get paid a lot more than they used to.

01:57Yeah, I guess it's all kind of relative, but as I've stated,

02:00no one puts a gun to anybody's head.

02:02No one puts a gun to anybody's head, right?

02:04And, you know, BKFC, I don't think, like, BKFC fighters are getting paid a ton,

02:10but I think they like the freedom of, you know, and you heard what Ben

02:16Rothwell said.

02:17He goes, you know, I get treated with respect here because I've never really

02:20had that before.

02:21And I think that's something that people, you know, it's a business, right?

02:27The UFC, you're just an employee to them, right?

02:33Like, I think, you know, BKFC fighters feel a little bit more sort of

02:36appreciated, per se, in a similar sense of, like, what Sean Merriman's got going

02:40on because he was a pro athlete, but it's a cold world, man.

02:44I'm not calling the UFC out for their business practices.

02:47Nobody puts a gun to anybody's head and forces anybody to sign a contract with

02:50them.
