It’s time for another of our infamous and patented Care/Don’t Care Podcasts, with your talent: the indubitable John S. Nash, our chief financials columnist and co-host of our ‘Show Money Podcast’, along with our lovely co-host, Stephie Haynes, of Bloody Elbow’s The Level Change Podcast and The Mookie & Crookie Show.
The format of the show is to review the prior weeks picks & then to announce each fight on the upcoming card, commenting on which fights are hot and which fights are not, as well as introducing an off-topic discussion point or two when there’s time. This week’s topics are as follows:
- 1:20 - Discussion regarding Conor McGregor’s Alleged Payout for UFC 246
- 7:25 - Discussion regarding Donald Cerrone’s Alleged Payout for UFC 246
- 10:10 - Do UFC Fighters get a piece of the Gate?
