UFC vs ESPN: Fighter Pay

 

Sakuraba vs Gracie, Liddell vs Ortiz, Gross vs White? Yep, one of the oldest rivalries in mixed martial arts reignited this week when ESPN's Josh Gross got together with John Barr to produce a television piece for ESPN's Outside the Lines (10 a.m. (ET) Sunday on ESPN2.) Which featured interviews with chief executive officer Lorenzo Fertitta, former UFC fighter Ken Shamrock as well as the accompanying article simply titled:

 

UFC fighters say low pay simply brutal 

 - John Barr and Josh Gross

 

Needless to say it wasn't all that flattering of the UFC's pay structure. Which had UFC president Dana White blasting the former sherdog editor via twitter:

"Josh is a pessimistic scumbag who pitched the story. The beauty is we filmed the interview too. We will air the entire interview as is no edits after ESPN airs theirs! We are Looking very forward to this :)

trust me I have been a part of ESPN hack jobs and that's why I don't do those BS shows and why we filmed it ESPN is going to see what a clown gross is. Gross set this BS story up and I LOVE IT!!!!"

and the rest of the MMA blogosphere, weighing in on how the UFC distributes it's income.
