August is the goat month if you love the NFL and fantasy football. You start doing your research, planning draft day with the boys, watching training camp and pre-season, getting your draft sheets together, and then having your draft during Labor Day weekend. August is forever GOATED.
I used to like August when I was a kid but in Louisiana it's entirely too hot. Then in 07 it became the worst month of the year for me due to something that no parent should have to go through.
rick has a bad take about salaries… francis only got his boxing payday bc of his mma status as the lineal hw champ… regular boxers aren’t hitting million plus purses till they are champs
and mma isn’t paid per year so you can’t sign a normal nba/nfl/nba/mlb contract and even then $30 mil for a single fight is insane and doesn’t compare to year long deals
@@inlikesin9436 Nobody should be educated by LT. I stopped watching his stuff because he can't keep his content simply on the topic of mma, he always has to insert his politics.
@@jonoharper4729Luke is very transparent with his beliefs, I feel like you just don't agree with him so you use that as an excuse lol. I don't agree with everything he does but I still respect his opinion and how he is able to put it aside and give a very middle of the road view.
Conor McGregor’s guaranteed purse for the Khabib fight - per the documents released as a result of the anti trust case, so legally binding was $3mil. No way they’re giving Jon a guaranteed $30mil. 10X more than their biggest ever star..
I'm guessing Frank is trolling because obviously February is objectively the single worst month of the year. Darkest month, coldest month, no sports, no real holidays. Nobody could be THAT dumb to prefer it top 3.
The " boys in the back" show is a breath of fresh air, GC and Rick don't taint the discussion with the typical anti UFC and anti Dana rhetoric that Ariel always does.
Very similar picks I’d go with for best months: 1. October 2. June 3. September 4. April 5. December February is diabolical and the most Frank thing of all time 😂 June and July are the best no debate if World Cup or Olympics like 2024
GC saying he will go 10 rounds with a groundhog is really pitiful....he cant finish the groundhog inside 10 rounds? how out of shape is NYR that he lost to GC in the bike challenge?
23:37 Wow, I want whatever drugs New york rick is on today, coz the absolute ridiculous takes coming out of his mouth one after the other 🤦🏻🤣. I can understand GC saying this he is new to the sport but Ric has been around the sport for a long time and still to be this wrong is just ridiculous. Putting Jones and Mcregor in the same lane like they do the same numbers, come on do better man. This might be his worst take even worse than the Ronda Rousey BS 🤣 “Jon jones was cracking 1 million ppv buys on the regular” when tf did that happen? Jones has headlined 17 ppv events in the ufc, and he cracked 1 million a grand total of 0 times. Never happened, his highest sell was 800k against DC. “he should be paid 10x of 30 million 10 years ago” so jones should have made 300 milion per fight in 2014?? Ufc wasn’t even valued at over a billion back then, they should have paid out that much when Jones was fighting Chael Sonnen? 🤣🤣 “He should be paid infinitely more than 30 mil” wtf does that mean, seriously? What is this the dreams and feeling championship? You should be paid by how much money you are bringing in. I actually agree ufc needs to pay more to their fighter and champions, but please be realistic about it, you can’t compare it to boxing they have been overpaying their fighters, Floyd Maywether has put promotions and networks out of business and hurt boxing in the long run, because he was charging way more than he was bringing in, and now Turki is doing the same paying out wayy more but he doesn’t care coz he’s not running it as a business. It can’t be compared to boxing, UFC is an actual business. UFC and boxing are two extremes, the fair thing for promoters and fighters is probably somewhere in the middle.
How can you be so sure the UFC still makes money on the PPV if they pay Jones 30 million? We have no idea what their profit margins are. If I am the UFC , the absolute mostI give jon is15 million plus ppv points. That sounds like a damn good payday to me!
Dana always said the downfall of boxing and other sporting enterprizes was the insane purses. Dana ain't about to make the same mistake with the U.F.C. No way is he paying Jon jones 30 million.
Just a heads up, the thumbnail (currently) reads as "thirty million dollar dollar man". Either use a dollar sign or use the word "dollar" after the number rather than both at once.
@ I agree it is important to pay attention before criticizing. Take another long look at the thumbnail, and read my original comment carefully. You’ll find it eventually.
I see what you’re saying but I personally believe they chose the color contrast to “fixed and avoid” what you’re referencing. Either I’m about to start watching it so ✌️
Oil spoons never hesitate. If jon wants real big money. He can fight against Francis at Riyadh after the contract. Oil spooners will pay him fairly enough. 30m is not a big deal for them. They are different than dirt spooners who negotiate and persuade to cut purse. Stressful and too frugal
Sorry but 1:22:51 makes no sense, Islam isn’t a welterweight and there was an argument Volk beat him already, Islam probably wins but it’s a style issue not a size issue lol
Ricks off hear a bit. Jones hasn't done 1mill buys and certainly not regularly. Also, the monopsony law suit gave us all the fighters pay, it's n ow public record. Go and look at john nash's work. U can see Mcgregor v Khabib etc. Ppv bonuses and all. The real figures are underwhelming
Somebody on the future bets bet Steve Garcia. Gotta be very favorable odds. Somebody hit me back with those odds ?? He’s fighting fan favorite Barbosa. He’s on the longest knockout streak in the entire UFC roster with 5 AS A FEATHERWEIGHT ‼️‼️😵💫 if he beats Barbosa think of that star power. If he knocks him out???? He’s on a Diego Lopez like train! Speaking of Diego what if his next fight opponent gets pulled out OR Mosvars next opponent falls out ? The Volk Ilia rematch is already announced and those are the next dudes in line, if he gets a last minute fight against one of them it’s to the moon baby! And we also have that Ilia moving up and vacating in our back pocket. THROW THE DART!!!🎯
Love the boys, but you can’t compare the purses made by Usyk and Tyson in Saudi. Those fights are not financially viable and are never making that money back. So from a UFC business perspective it wouldn’t make sense.
U guys are comparing apples to potatoes to other sports. How many baseball, basketball, soccer, and even football games are played a season? U can’t compare them to mma. Boxing pays those guys that much money but lose money more events then not lol
UFC....Jon Jones deserves $30 million for one fight. PFL....annual tournament purse is halved from $1 mill to 500k. This demonstrates the difference between the industry's "co leaders" 😂😂
Oil spoons make fight whatever they want to watch without considering purse of fighters whereas frugals from soil spoon backgrounds try to save their moni as much as possible all the time. So oil spoons will take the industry over eventually.
take a shot everytime New York Ric says “ultimately
its tuff
Acshually☝️🤓
I’m now dead
I frickin love the BITB show. Shout out

Is New York Ric a stoner or is it just me 😅
🎶 Boys boys boys in the back 🎶
Unfortunately the ufc and mma in general will never get the athletes other sports get simply because of the pay scale
Pretty sure jones has never had a 1 million ppv buy rate in his whole career lol.
Pretty sure he cleared 1m with DC
@mrrat9805 every number i find for that is under 1 million.
“You can clean this up! BRUH!” 🤣🤣
BITB and Morning Kombat collab …..
When did Jones break a million ppv buys?
Never. Think his highest was 850k vs DC 2
@dustinkilburn that's what I thought. Weird claim for Rick to make.
Never. He’s not a draw

GC singing happy birthday made my freakin day! Shout out BITB for the birthday wishes!!!
And yes my name is related to Hakeem Olajuwon 😜 lol
Banger
GC carrying this show. He’s such a natural, positive and pleasant personality. I like Ric but his contrarian personality is just exhausting sometimes
The boys are always excellent. Fast forward first 10 minutes to get to actual MMA talk.
Well done lads
September so slept on
I gotta go
1. October
2. June
3. April
4. July
5. November
McKenzie dearn as 5th best month of the year is a great shout

Bones jones asked for 30mil in his post fight conference. Dana white said he would make the fight happen in his post fight interview.

If jon beats tom he will make more than 30 million after he retires with the domino effect of greatness .. but so will Tom .. roll the 🎲
Jon jones was not selling 1 million ppvs. That's false lol
Just a heads up, the thumbnail (currently) reads as "thirty million dollar dollar man". Either use a dollar sign or use the word "dollar" after the number rather than both at once.
Oh shut up
He doesn’t use the word “dollar“, you nitpicking stickler. Important to pay attention before criticizing, especially publicly.

Calm down lol
Jones has never broke a million on ppvs and only came close once. But still guy deserves 50 mil let alone 30!
spend a summer in Houston and you will hate may-august
Lads you cant leave that intro playing over them talking it's messy af. you can leave the 'beatbox' playing but not the talking its horrible
So do people avoid NY Rick because of the gout or bc he is a Jehovahs Witness?
Yes it is worth the price tag, for several reasons, the biggest being is Jon Jones the greatest of all time

Jon unfortunately at this time isn't worth 30 mill. The only person in the ufc and even now would be Connor.
Ideally all of these fighters should be making 10x what they are now, but this isn't boxing.
4:43
1:53:22
Jon jones screwed himself out of past huge paydays with his out of cage antics
Ngl the pound for pound list was dumb as fuck nobody wants to hear that come on boys
No parlay boys this week?

The bit is annoying!
ric always looks like he has an all black mouthpiece in for some reason, has the taken his teeth?
Terrible p4p pound list....lame.

Delusional
Jones bigger than Usyk is fucking hilarious
