Top popular fighters like Georges St-Pierre, Cain Velasquez, T.J. Dillashaw and Donald Cerrone are forming a union for MMA fighters. They come with demands of wanting their fair share of the pie and even a CBA. What does it all mean for the multi billion dollar promotion, UFC?
“Most of the sports it’s 50/50 — promoter, athlete. For us, we have around 8 percent,” St-Pierre said. “So when I talk about it’s not fair for me, it’s not only not fair for me, it’s not fair to the TUF contestants, even to Conor McGregor, who doesn’t have his fair share of what he should have.”
