the wec contact isn't a good excuse, still a zuffa champ, look at edgars pay, sherks as a champ

Ok, he answered me, I will copy & paste it or screen cap when I get home. Its an ambiguous answer but it appears everyone gets something.

Yes and No.

They all get a cut, but some get a greater cut and some have the specific cut in their contracts (the minority) and most don't.

If only dave has something about it I can't take it serious, he is a known shill

stop it.

here is my follow up, he hasnt answered it yet, and probably wont because once a thread goes to shit he usually wont come back, and the trolls have invaded the thread already:

Cruz got a reported 40k + FOTN bonus.

How much more would someone on his level get in ppv money? I assume Faber would get more?

[Liquidrob]

Dave has to be considered a shill at this point, for as much 'inside info' he has with as little critical pieces he writes zuffa is a joke, to say otherwise is absurd

[Warner2BruceTD]

Gee, thanks Warner for going out of your way to get some info for everybody. Nice job, I wasn't aware everyone got a piece of the PPV money, hopefully he answers the follow up, i'd love to know what a guy like Cruz gets out of it.

I'll just pretend this is what you said.

Jeez rob, is this a schtick thread or not? You keep swaying back & forth.

[Liquidrob]

Yes, good effort warner, but dave isn't the end all for info, you know my opinion on him and I don't take him seriously

Plus, what is 'get something'?, could be a million or 5 bucks, sounds like a pr answer

[Warner2BruceTD]

I asked someone who would know, and he gave an answer.

All the guy does is report news, I dont know how on earth you have this negative perception. He is critical of Zuffa all the time in the newsletter, like when they put the wrong fights together, and he always digs through the BS and reports the embarrassing number of comps w/"real" attendance, etc. I think he covers everyone fair but we've done this a million times. You dont like anyone unless they bash Zuffa 100% which is kinda ironic, no?

[Liquidrob]

I like a lot of guys who are not 100% critical of zuffa, my favorite is the around the cage guy

His credibility and integrity is beyoind reproach.

[Liquidrob]

Iole, MDS and now Dave are the 'big 3' of shills

Dave sold his soul for inside info

Ariel isn't even a shill, he is a lackey

[Liquidrob]

Looks like cruz might be out until the end of the year with a hand injury

I don't read anything by the first two guys, so I wont comment.

Helwani isn't a shill either, he's just a guy who will never say anything bad about anyone ever, so everyone trusts him as their go to guy. I guess that kinda makes him a shill, but he doesn't favor anyone so really it doesnt.

[SHOGUN]

Helwani is weird. He straddles the line in my book, but he does ask tough questions (re: Shane Carwin) and he's more infinitely legit than MDS and the Yahoo! bums. I'm not particularly fond of him because he's always trying to stir shit up, but that's a part of his job so I shouldn't really hold it against him.

Call him what you want, just don't call him a cheap jew.

Rob, you see what you want.

Meltzer is the most fair writer on the subject out there. He hardly caters his coverage to what will make your buddy Dana happy.
