Ever wondered what's truly ailing the Dallas Cowboys when crunch time hits? NFL great Shawne Merriman joins me to dissect the enigmatic Cowboys' tendency to fumble at the goal line of success. Through a no-holds-barred conversation, we scrutinize everything from Jerry Jones' top-down approach to the team's culture, to Dak Prescott's ability to quarterback under pressure. It's not just about calling plays on the field; we're looking at the entire playbook of a storied franchise struggling to reclaim its former glory. Transitioning from the clash on the gridiron to the battles in the cage, I open up about my foray into the MMA world, revealing the trials and triumphs of cultivating the Lights Out brand in an industry that's as unforgiving as the sport itself. Taking pages from the playbooks of Dana White and Vince McMahon, I share the key moves in promoting combat sport events and the relentless drive needed to make an organization thrive amidst giants. It's not just about the fighters throwing punches; it's about the strategic maneuvers that make an event come alive and resonate with fans. As the final buzzer sounds, we go deep into the impact of star athletes and the entertainment value they bring, both inside and outside the arena. From Jake Paul's knockout entry into boxing to the shift in football players' financial decisions, we dissect the evolving sports landscape. And yes, I'll even lay my Super Bowl predictions on the line, including a dark horse that might just gallop to the front of the pack. It's more than just a game – it's a glimpse into the future of sports as both a passion and a profession. Join us for an episode that tackles the hard realities of sports, the business that envelops it, and the legends who live it. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:09) - Dallas Cowboys' Struggles and Potential Changes (0:12:26) - Starting and Growing an MMA Organization (0:22:46) - Time and Sponsorships in Combat Sports (0:28:53) - MMA's Growth (0:32:24) - Fighter Pay and Sport Impact (0:37:23) - Boxing and Football as Sports Careers (0:47:48) - Super Bowl Predictions and Excitement --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/action-junkeez/support

UFC FN, Tate possibly retiring, fighter pay and much more!!!

The ongoing class action lawsuit against the UFC resulted in the unsealing of evidence that revealed past fighter payouts from athletes including Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Ronda Rousey, Anderson Silva and more. The evidence is a clear view at how the UFC paid its fighters from 2011 to 2016 (with most parameters likely holding true in today's operations), and the clearest view we've ever seen into any of the UFC's fighter pay practices. This podcast will break down the revealed financial information from the lawsuit, how it compares to the typical boxing split, and what the information has revealed about the UFC's business practices. Enjoy!Ps. I recently launched a sports business community on Microsoft Teams. Join here: https://teams.live.com/l/community/FAAIJe0ERyXmJDuOQw

Bloody Elbow's John Nash has a new report out on the UFC's finances and, friends, it is mind-blowing. Once again in 2022, the fight company made more than $1 billion in revenue and, largely because it didn't have to pay superstars like Conor McGregor last year, total fighter pay dropped by around $32.8 million (to roughly 13 percent of total revenue). UFC profits were up in every category, while expenses and operating costs were down. So ... wow. Plus, Mackenzie Dern went beast mode on Angela Hill and Dana White says he doesn't understand Francis Ngannou's new deal with PFL. This episode is brought to you in part by NordVPN.

In the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer, Matt Brown and Damon Martin debate the latest topics in MMA including Khabib Nurmagomedov, the greatest lightweights of all time and Michael Chandler's style. Brown, who is widely considered one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC, offers Chandler some advice when it comes to his style inside the octagon that has earned him a lot of bonuses and praise from UFC president Dana White but still left him with a 2-3 record in the promotion. Does Chandler need to change his style if he wants to become a UFC champion? Brown argues that Chandler can absolutely remain a fan favorite willing to put on bloody wars from now until the day he retires but if he wants to claim a UFC title, something might need to shift in his strategy for future fights. Brown also discusses Nurmagomedov's growing legacy as a coach in mixed martial arts and the resume he's putting together since retiring from active competition. Also this week, PFL color commentator Kenny Florian joins the show to talk about the legendary career that Jose Aldo put together and he addresses the pay problems that continue to plague the sport, particularly where the UFC is involved.

Jimmy Smith sits down with UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, to discuss his injury recovery, return to the Octagon, and how his talks with the UFC are going on Unlocking The Cage (0:27). He also gets a  preview of Canelo vs Triple G III and talks the latest boxing news with Showtime Boxing analyst, Steve Farhood (19:26).

EPISODE 31 Fighter pay has been the hottest topic over the last two weeks because of Luke Rockhold going full scorched earth with the UFC and Dana. Give your thoughts on what Luke said, especially the part where he mentioned Dana basically being given the reins to run the UFC however he sees fit. We've spoken on this before but Luke Rockhold's comments still raise the theory that things were so much better for the fighters under the Fertittas. Were they or is that a bunch of smoke and mirrors? Luke mentioned leverage and how the UFC has it all. How can the fighters get leverage outside of some sort of solidarity movement/strike etc? Are there other things they can do to leverage themselves, and I'm talking about fighters from the entry level floor all the way to champion level. Ariel recently had Sean O'Malley on and you just can't watch that interview without coming away thinking Sean has done a complete 180. I saw on your timeline you agreed with some things Ariel was saying. Would you elaborate a bit for our listeners on the parts you agree with and your take on O'Malley's comments. Paulo Costa says he only made $35K for the Vettori fight. I was absolutely aghast when I saw that. Paulo is 11-2 and has been in a title fight. How in the world does something like this happen? You've had the opportunity to look at several UFC contracts. Do they all have escalators built in? Like is that a standard for all contracts or just for the ones savvy enough to ask for it? The infamous Dana White vs. MMA Media went back up recently and I saw a comment you made that said there was no mention of fighters having to waive gross negligence on the UFC's part before they could return to the octagon. Please elaborate on that. Another topic that's been on fire is interim titles. Give your take on whether they're a good thing, a bad one, or maybe a little bit of both. What's your take on James Krause doing an official UFC betting show while actively training fighters? One Championship made its debut tonight on Amazon Prime. I couldn't help but notice that there wasn't a hashtag trend big enough to even show up in sports trends, much less the main portion of Twitter. Is that indicative of anything, or am I reading too much into that? I saw that they recently moved all their shares to a Grand Cayman Islands entity, essentially re-domiciling there. Please explain what re-domiciling means and why this is sort of a big deal. Oleksandr Usyk is on track to be the highest boxing earner this year. How did he manage that? Deontay Wilder said that boxing isn't really a sport, it's just a business. Would you agree with his assessment? It's almost a forgone conclusion that Saudi Arabia will get Fury-Usyk. Is there a real gain for them to continue dumping massive money towards sportswashing?
