I suppose you could say i feel a little bit sorry for these guys. Outside of the top guys in the industry most of these guys don't really make a ton of cash. I was looking at the payments for some of the minor cards the other day and the people were getting as little as $10,000. Now that probably seems like a lot to us because the fight only lasted 8 minutes or so but what about the months of training and the fact that most of these guys only fight 3 or 4 times a year at most?
I think people would watch it but unless Dana authorizes it I don't see it happening.

great points. This is something that a lot of people don't factor in. We all just presume that all of these guys are multi-millionaires and for most of them, this isn't the case at all. Fact of the matter is, in MMA, a mid-level accountant probably takes home more cash than your average MMA fighter and doesn't have to recover from head trauma nearly as frequently.
