That’s sucks. I’ve been an employee and owner - so on both sides. Almost everyone I have worked with treats their employees this way. What Dana is doing is nothing special. My advice, find an owner of a company who has this kind of culture. It’s better than getting paid a few more bucks.
My boss literally has a employee appreciation day. We norm go play paintball and have lunch.plus fully Paid day! You gotta find someone who appreciates you my boy
My company recently closed my entire division, which is ironic because it's an electromechanical service business, and I was the maintenance man. My boss reached out to me the next day to let me know that they had also let him go, but that he really appreciated working with me personally, and that he wasn't reaching out to any of the other maintenance men. Sometimes it's nice to just know when you're leaving, that you have an ally that saw the story, and also knows how valuable you are
"I just wanted to say goodbye before you left" "Ay, I'll be back" Bro had to make sure Dana wasn't firing him 😂 EDIT: I found out after that he hasn't fought since this clip lol. His name is Daniel Rodriguez
Danna is genuinely a good guy I remember I was waiting in line to get into a press conference in Brooklyn he came out his car and his security told him to go rite in and tried to push him in…. He said hold up!!!! And took pictures with everyone outside a true genuine good guy
❤ forreal. To get to that level and Dana come out give u respect..kind words..He gets done hate but I love the guy he’s honest real and a peoples person
@@williamtennill6744 we respect you as he cuts him a 2500 dollar check for 4 months worth of work n literally putting it all on the line in the cage. Dana is a tool, always has been.
Facts. Been an UFC fan for 30 years, have seen Danas work and interactions for 25 years. That's good he is. Been blessed to have met him and talked to him. Super down to earth guy.
This is how all bosses and owners treat employees that are well paid. It’s sad that most people don’t seem to realize that this is nothing special. Once you’re earning more than $100,000 a year and add value, people are going to be civil to you even if they are firing you and think you’re terrible at your job.
Well he said yea yea i know that could be good news for him i dont know if he has a commitee of people or who makes the fight but smart if he slone didnt have to choose i dont think he does it alone i think his team does alot of the work
To come to an agreement it has to be mutual, in regards to pay and all the perks and benefits they’re offering in the contract. They can be friends and not see eye to eye with business. If they can’t separate business from personal lives, he doesn’t respect them 😂.
@Tyler Durden1995 Tugboat Johnson. Mma record of 1-7. Most known for his decision win over Willy Clarence where after the fight he told a drunk, belligerent Misha Tate he would cross face chicken wing her if she kept it up. Dude is a beast. I caught up on his fights last night when I stayed at a holiday Inn express.
when your making over 20k for 15 minutes work, plus fight bonus of 50k if you perform electric, plus venum sponsor money....all this for being unranked.....find me a better job that pays more for those minutes in the cage....?? nope i though not!! understand the buisness and how it works for each individual fighter AND THEIR WORTH and how many times they fight etc.
Oh uve fallen for this leftist narrative too!?! U know how many millionaires dana has created?? How many employees he provides for their entire families?? Has offices with employees and gyms and facilities all over the world!?! Hes not a boxing promoter that can operate out of 200 sqaure foot office with maybe 1 assistant, ZERO assests, who mind u if hes lucky enougj to get an elite guy, pays them well at his going oit of business party, but pays the undercard absolute gobshite!!! Dana is an american icon that should be praised and respected to the highest!!!
“We respect and appreciate you getting paid a pittance for getting beat up to near death and making me lots of money, come back though and make me more money” yours truly awesome guy Dana 😂😂😂
Don't you mean they pay the most out of all the organizations? Guys like you might be better in a communist country. Things would be much simpler for you to understand how things work. It's obvious you have no clue how a free market works. Or maybe you should take up the fight for 90% of the boxers who make a fraction of what the big money guys make and are getting their brains bashed in and future cte so the big names can get paid millions
They get what they sign up for, nobody holds a gun to their heads and makes them sign. Take McGregor who came in and signed a contract for a small amount and made a star of himself and made it were he got what he asked for , it's all up to the fighter's to make themselves a ppv icon and then Dana has to ask how much do you want as the public love to see you fight
@@navjitbassi03 lol stfu. Anyway, I was commenting that because I saw one of the top comments saying something like "dana is a friend to anyone who isn't a snake to him, plain and simple" and I was like...ok thats corny...and not true haha So I commented what I said. I understand how capitalism works.
@@perkosherrigh7243your paid what your worth, if you bring in money you make money your fights don't bring in money you don't make money it's pretty simple.....
The man gets paid yes but he loves the sport and does what he can to keep it going great. Lotta work and volatile athletes to deal with and coordinate.
Dana literally created the current UFC. This investment in UFC by the furtito bro's was a Hail Mary throw to Dana.dana is why UFC exists and thrives. If Ultimate Fighter season 1 didn't blow the roof (Bonner and Griffin) off, Dana would be living in his car as EVERY penny was invested; people don't think of the "do or die" circumstances that Dana had on his plate. But he is a great owner, and he is the GOAT of GOATS as he treats everyone with respect -but you(fighters) must treat this job without excuses. You must treat your employees like they matter, etc. I would love to be Dana's personal 😊assistant as I like the way he carries himself etc. He is a great CEO, boss of all bosses et. Dana doesn't deserve the trash talk about fighter pay as I know it's a complicated issue. But I do feel that after a certain degree of success ( not just wins and losses but great battles,), including PPV sales, attitude,doing the media rounds with a genuine smile, and conducting oneself with integrity, being available to the fans(and media). I respect Dana for not putting up with nonsense and for not letting $ blind his morals ect. Guys like GSP are what I respect.
Dana loves his fighters. I'm sick of everyone saying how he s••ts on them. Dude legit helps ANYONE in the UFC when they need it. Look at what he did for everyone in his comoany during covid.
@@forevertoremain Francis was purely fcking greedy. He was offered the largest contract in HW history and declined. This is not a Dana issue, purely Francis’ fault
Dana white’s a man. I’ve never met him but from watching his sponsored fights & interviews and from what people close to him say, he seem to an amazing friend and trustworthy business partner. What he’s gone thru his life he thought him to be humble & honest & there’s nothing better than being honest and sincere in life. So my daily & are huge fans of Dana… keep up the good work brother…
Khamzat Chimaev is one of my favourite fighters to ever compete in the UFC. I agree that he is one of the hardest workers in the gym, but it’s because of that inner drive that he has become so powerful. Injuries are part of the deal for professional fighters. Let’s hope that we get to see Khamza Chimaev make it all the way to the top,
Met him on the glass elevators at palace station I was on coming from a 1 floor up it was me ,him and a engineer for the property we chatted for a bit the engineer was star struck so I said hey Dana congrats on the Merger and sale for Frittatas brothers and he said thanks man I appreciate hearing that this was back when it just went mainstream and they had states like NY not wanting it in there state etc and he looked right at me and said thanks sometimes it’s all haters trying to keep it out of mainstream events but when I hear from fans like you he said it’s worth all the shit and regulations that I have to put up with he shook my hand and we went or different ways .He seamed so happy to hear something positive and that made my day .
@@manuelroman7597and you still sleeping. We know by now that people like you uses the same modus operandi and always staying stagnant with dumb thoughts because you are focused on everybody else but yourself. But if you say he's a greedy ass**le that don't treat people properly, then what are you doing?? You are trashing someone you don't even know. At least Dana made it because he focused on his goal. Even if he was truly an ass**le, anyone that works for him don't have a gun pointed at their heads. They make the choice to stay there. If they do for the money well thats on them, chosing money over well-being. Stop blaming everyone else. You and you alone is the master of yout destiny.
Hey manual don’t be a hater you’ll get your chance one day.lol. Or as a friend said after he read your comment there’s always some one That just can’t take seeing someone else talk about something positive.So in there irrelevant lives they have to talk shit.
Love or hate Dana, he’s a businessman at the end of the day and he’s successful. He took many risks and bet on himself and he speaks his mind and does what he wants and created a great platform for fighters and fans alike to enjoy the art and sport of MMA. Hats off for showing his gentlemanly side at the end of the day so often. Too many people love to hate, but no one is perfect.. hats off to the man
Even the top draws don't get what they deserve when you compare it to what boxers get & its as popular if not more When you look at ppv sponsorship arena receipts on the big fights Dana certainly ain't potless especially when you see him dropping 50G bets at the casino
@@aliaswhatever Dana can shut down the whole thing and none of them get a thing. Seems fair to me. If it wasn't enough they wouldn't do it. Strikes do work
I've seen this side of him before. I've met him twice actually at my job. He had to lean in close due to his hearing issues. To avoid getting fired, I didn't ask any "troll" or funny questions nor ask about any fights/fighters.
A lot of ppl think the fighters should go from 30k to 20 million in like 4 fights , its like half therse kids never worked a day in there life , most theese fighter’s on the upper half are making more then probably 95% of the ppl in this comment section
I disagree. He has words for fighters that try to overstep their rank. These words are genuine & to say this to Rodriguez is keeping the fighters head straight after a tough loss. For his fighters he has true respect for their abilities. The Ultimate Fighter show is the fighters on the UFC fringe. I hear his conversations ringside during the matches & he can tell who is who pretty quickly. The real thing is he wants more fighters that push the envelope. Not wrestlers that spend 99% of their matches on the mats - that win by decision on judges scorecards.
My primo didn’t get fired, he just came back from hand surgery took some time off, but lost his #15 welterweight ranking spot, was about to crack the top 10! He has been one of them guys to step up on such short notice if Dana needed! He’ll be back
^ Dude that’s how business works. Dana is a boss and a leader. Without Dana the UFC would not exist, period. And even if it did still somehow find its way into existence without Dana, it would be NOWHERE as big as it is now.
