Lol. I usually scroll past these tweets -- think they& #39;re largely harmless if overindulgent. But as a big fan of MMA (namely the sport and the fighters more than @danawhite) was in the mood to call out this @JoePompliano thread-

Dana is obvi an extremely successful businesman but https://twitter.com/JoePompliano/status/1308937782459498496">https://twitter.com/JoePompli...

1. A large part of the @ufc& #39;s success nowhere to be seen in the thread is fucking fighters on pay. They send about 18% of revenue to fighters, wildly below other leagues (NBA, MLB)& #39;s more-near 50/50 split https://rb.gy/gg4stl ">https://rb.gy/gg4stl&qu... (As the great @JackSlackMMA says - & #39;just unionize& #39;)

2. Dana also famously lies and disparages fighters that don& #39;t play ball -> some *with* the personality that Pomp mentions he is high on then crushes publicly once they want more pay. Tons of compilations of & #39;Dana White Lies& #39; out there, here& #39;s one I like https://rb.gy/h8abt6 ">https://rb.gy/h8abt6&qu...

3. He met the Fertitta brothers (who floated the inbitial 2M fo the UFC) in high school -- https://m.imdb.com/name/nm1831502/bio

No">https://m.imdb.com/name/nm18... mention of that in @JoePompliano& #39;s thread -> likely cuz it goes against the whole rah rah & #39;this person did this that means YOU can do it too& #39; of the thread.

Dana (again obvi) is an extremely prolific businessman and I& #39;m sure is in the top percentile of hard work/drive/ruthlessness needed to pull off what he& #39;s pulled off. But if you& #39;re gonna glorify his from rags to riches story don& #39;t just leave out ^^ b/c those play a huge factor too
