Default Help Tito feed his family!

It should be obvious to everyone here that Tito has struggled to make this great sport what it is today. He deserves much more than $160,000 a fight. How can a man support his family on such money? Now Zuffa is refusing to negotiate, and is making him fight according to his contract! Tito even said himself, "If you think I pay my bills with my fight money you are out of your mind.I do alot more then just fight." It's a shame that he has to do things, other than fighting, to make ends meet. Tito fans, I urge you, go to titoortiz.com, and buy more punishment t-shirts (they even have women's and children's sizes). They are only $35, and it is for a worthy cause. Don't let Zuffa strongarm our great champion into not getting paid what he's worth. Let the PUNISHMENT begin!

What is this nonsense? $160k/yr and he can't feed his family? He should be beaten with a rubber hose.

You mean like a normal person has to work?

How can a man support his family on only 160,000? Very easy! There are a lot worse off people out there! I wish I had a clothing line to support my income!!

Wasn't he at Wrestlemania last week? He could afford to go there? Maybe a career in the WWE will reap more rewards (as the rumours are saying)!

I'd have to work for 8 years to make 160k at my current job.

Now that it looks like Tito will be stripped of his title, he needs our help more than ever. Imagine him having to sit out for a year to wait for his contract to expire! There are terms in the contract which states it's open for negotiation. Zuffa is just cheap. Tito is a better fighter than Shamrock, or Tank. He should get paid more. His name drew over 11,000 fans at UFC 32. Zuffa is on a power trip, and refuses to pay the biggest star of our sport what he's worth. He needs all our help!
