Nets look like they will never have a full strength team.  They aren't exactly as old as the Lakers by any means but this is the perils of building a team with players who have been in the league 10+ years.  Basketball is hard on the body and 30 year old in the NBA aren't meant to withstand a 82 game season plus playoffs and plus international games for some of them.  Playoffs will definately be shaped by health.  Can't bet on the Nets with patty mills as the "second guy"...

I agree they aren't getting younger, Patty Mills is 33 years old now, just like Kevin Durant, James Harden is 32 years old, and I think maybe a couple of years now they will need to eventually retire! Kessler Edwards is 21 and can become a defensive asset for the Nets in the future, well we can not say for sure how many years James Harden, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Durant, Patty Mills, Blake Griffin, Paul Millsap could play longer for the Brooklyn Nets, but they will need to try their best to keep the pace now that the team is pretty much dependent on Kyrie Irving, Kyrie will have to be safe in being injured why having at it.

Today i bet over 18,5 pts Anfernee Simons vs Chicago. Bulls playing without their best defenders Lonzo and Caruso. They will pay the most attention in defense to CJ McCollum. This will open up space for this extremely dynamic player.

Simons already had 14 points after the 1st half, looks like this is a winning bet of yours, but it also looks like the Bulls are going to win and would cover the spread. Good luck and get that win mate.

Congrats Anfernee Simons got 21 points, unfortunately, Trail Blazers lost with 14 points advantage for Chicago Bulls, the field-goals percentage and free throw percentage had gone for the Bulls, while the TrailBlazer has got the 3 pointers percentage and team turnovers for the Bulls have 7 and Trailblazer got 12, the Chicago Bulls have got the lead on the 2nd Quarter of the game that the Portland Trail Blazers wasn't able to take the lead.


Well terrible night to bet nba.  Dallas loses to Orlando, cavs lose to Detroit.  Bucks lose by 36 at home lol.  Just one of those days.  Cavs were up by a good amount and aging well, they just completely folded up after midway through the 3rd quarter.  Uhg.theres always tomorrow

Well, it really happens it is not your day and not your favorite team's day aswell, this is Basketball anything can happen, but we can surely look for a teams advantage but sometimes it will surely not reflect on results sometimes, Luck is surely still needed and it is not a lucky day.

This is surely a grudge match both fighters really wanted this fight and I can say they each got what they want well I think this could be an interesting fight, both I think have a number of Knockout wins that surely have power with their shots, both at their 35th so this is an equal fighter but I think the urge in who wants to win more will be shown with this fight even though Kell Brook has more fights than Amir Khan, with 42 fights and Khan with 39 fights, I think more than 3 fights is not the issue here, but the determination on winning, I really think that Amir Khan has a lot of Motivation to win this fight, in saving his marriage, and to be an inspiration for his mum to beat cancer, but saying this could not be his last fight yet, because he fears life after his boxing career, Amir Khan isn't just ready to part ways wth his boxing, I think that is how eager he is and really likes boxing so much I think he has the drive in winning against Kell Brook, so I think I would go with Amir Khan.

Yeah, he knows he's probably got about three more years in him before he passes his peak. He's either going to re-sign or just run his contract down then do what he wants. There's no guarantee Tyson will fight him though as he's going to be a busy boy this year. After Whyte and then probably AJ or Usyk who is there left for him? Tyson/Ngannou would be a good retirement fight for both of them I think.

Francis Ngannou will sure continue fighting, and we don't really know if he's still a fighter on UFC when 2022 ends, but the highly unlikely that he is not on good terms with Dana White is really showing off, even though Dana White denies the allegation, but yeah a great exhibition match between the two heavyweights will be a good retirement for them, but they need to plan well their good 3 years as a fighter before retiring,

I don't think Francis is asking for too much. I think he just wants more than 500k and the option to fight in a boxing match. Give him a guaranteed 1 million a fight with a cut of the PPVs and let him box with it being a UFC-cross promo like the Mayweather fight and I'm sure he'll be happy. If Brock Lesner can get $2.5 million for fighting Mark Hunt back in 2016 then Ngannou should be able to get something similar. UFC is far bigger now than it was back then as well. Dana really needs to get it sorted because he's going to lose arguably the best heavyweight on the planet if he doesn't cough up the dough. Surely they'll lose more in the long-run by letting him go.

Yup! I agree Francis Ngannou just wants freedom and that is why he doesn't want to sign his contract because it could be a Shackle for him not to do what he wants, if Dana White can't provide higher pay for his fight then he will do something about it by providing him a cross fight rather than obliging him to just fight in the octagon, there is a huge opportunity outside the octagon and he wants to grab it and if some fighters can do it so why can't he,

Right now I am not excited about the February 6 event but I am more excited about UFC 271 the much-anticipated fight Israel Adesanya VS Robert Whittaker, Derrick Lewis VS Tai Tuivasa, and Jared Cannonier VS Derek Brunson, and the next fight the UFC Fight Night: Dos Anjos VS Fiziev, and the fights that I think worth to watch out are Rafael Dos Anjos VS Rafael Fiziev, Jhonny Walker VS Jamahal Hill,  Jessica Rose Clark VS Stephanie Egger and Chas Skelly VS Mark Striegl,

I know this is too soon to make discussion but I surely can't wait to make predictions, analysis, and to watch their fights so badly.

GSW have a really good squad depth and if one player fails to perform, others rise to the occasion to save the game.

For example, both Curry and Klay had an average game but Wiggins popped off and scored 24 points and took 8 rebounds. Poole and Porter also contributed well.

On the Nets' side, Irving and Mills were insane as they score 32 and 24 points respectively but it was not enough for them to bring the win for them. Overall a really competitive and enjoyable game.

I agree that is why the team of the Golden State Warriors are very unique, if a player, or rather Stephen Curry is on his shooting slump again there are other teammates that could fill that gap, and regain that game momentum, although the team is badly needing a consistent Curry than giving a shot on the other players on the team, we can say that the team of the Golden State Warriors have many pieces to fill the gap Andrew Wiggins have proven his worth once again, and without Draymond Green, on the field, Kevon Looney has shone with some offensive and defensive rebounds Jonathan Kuminga can shift his role in defense, well all I can say is all players on the GSW have a potential role on the team,

Well, even though he is not Vaccinated yet, (just kidding) Kyrie Irving has risen to the occasion without Kevin Durant and now James Harden with a last-minute strained hands problem, I think it is very crucial for the Brooklyn Nets right now to have any more injuries, right now James Harden and LaMarcus Aldridge have been added as players that have injuries good thing that their next game was on February 2 players of the Nets can have a rest.

Here we have nothing new because if you are able to check history it's already happened many times Bayern buying quality players from Dortmund and enjoying this all for some seasons and then dropping them out and Dortmund management never try to use them for having their own better results they mostly love to buy players and then sell them to big teams for higher prices.

As now, we are checking Bayern is interested into Haaland then no matter they will buy him and having very strong attack even now Lewandowski going to leave Bayern for another club. Right now, Dortmund is looking for their desired amount and this is going to happen because after end of this season surely he is going to leave, and now we have only two clubs with Bayern is front and second one is Real Madrid.

This is what Dortmund is doing things if they could get their hands on players with talent, they would eventually  sold them into a higher price, Dortmund would set an example that they are a busy club

It's not a matter of Erling Haaland moving to any other club which causes the alarm in people's minds. It's about Erling Haaland moving to Bayern Munich which is absolutely dumb.  Undecided

I don't know why would Dortmund make that decision. I think obviously Dortmund is not going to make that decision unless they are on drugs or something!!

At a time when people are thinking Bundesliga to be a more competitive league and having more teams to compete against Bayern Munich, it does not make any sense to allow Bayern Munich to be stronger. I agree that it is really boring for the fans to watch Bayern Munich win the title again and again.

It is what Dortmund would eventually do, they would eventually let go of Erling Haaland to make a huge profit, Dortmund is already doing this kind of cycle whether you like it or not they would eventually sell all their good players to clubs like Bayern Munich that can really afford them, and Bayern Munich is a club that can surely afford their number 1 player, so the possibility for Erling Haaland to be on Bayern Munich would have a higher possibility, and now that Erling Haaland rejects Man City offer said by rumors,

And yeah it is not really balanced for a team to have all good players but Bayern Munich is a club that can afford to buy good players that they can afford, but there is a possibility if they bought Erling Haaland they could even Let go of Robert Lewandowski,

My Results on today's game

New Orleans Pelican VS Boston Celtics SCORE 97 - 107 - WIN

Philadelphia 76ers VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 103 - 101 - WIN

Golden State Warriors VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 110 - 106 - WIN

Needless to say, it is a very one-sided match the Boston Celtics was on the lead from start to finish even though Josh Hart has scored a double-double and the score was spread to the whole team, it is not enough the Boston Celtics combination of Jayson Tatum with 38 points and Jaylen Brown with 31 points have to crush the Pelicans, the field goal and 3 pointers percentage have gone to the Boston Celtics side, it really was a one-sided match.

This was a close match, at the 1st half the Sacramento Kings was leading the game I never expect a very close game, yet the odds are hugely in favor of the 76ers but surely risking a bet for the Sacramento Kings was a close one in getting huge profit, but the 76ers have won with only 2 points advantage, Joel Embiid has made a double-double play, to win the game against the Kings.

The Golden State Warriors from start to finish have led the game against the Nets, James Harden isn't able to play due to hand strain, but Kyrie Irving performance was remarkable having 32 points but it isn't enough in winning the game while the Golden State Warriors have shown a team play effort, Andrew Wiggins was the lead scorer, and Kevon Looney with 15 rebounds was a tremendous addition in the defense, both teams have equal turnovers of 10,

Thanks for the update @freedomgo, that's a great news.

So it's not gonna be the 1st week of February but on the 2nd week, regardless, at least it doesn't take too long before the PBA will resume and we can see some live actions soon. There's no crowd, it's understandable, what matters is PBA will be back soon.

They Decided to resume it on Feb 11 which will be great for teams that have injuries, and a great time to rest for players to be in their shape and I think the PBA officials can not do something about the regulation here in the Philippines the need to follow the rules and need to comprehend the situation when the Omnicron Virus have surge here in the Philippines the government needs to take action and place an alert level 3 in all part of the country, but right now that we are back at alert level 2 I think there are certain things that are now allowed, and the LGU even though we are in a certain alert level close contact sport such as basketball are now allowed, so I wish it will not surge back again.

^  Oh if he gets a boxing deal with Fury?  Def he’ll be paid a lot of money that he’ll start his own whisky company and make even more money then start losing all his next MMA matches and might even break his leg.  Lolol.  Grin

Seriously, yeah...  Ngannou prolly is thinking of getting as much money now while he’s still at the top.  But the problem is I think the UFC can’t give him a better deal than what he wants.  I agree that they should pay him more but what if he’s asking a lot more than what the UFC is willing to give?

I think what Dana should do is pair Ngannou up with Jones and hope for the best.  Maybe give Jones a picogram.  Cheesy

Definitely Dana White would not give Francis Ngannou what he wants, that is why the final option for Francis Ngannou to get a larger pay and as you said while he is in top shape and in his prime is by a boxing match with a well-known boxer or even a personality, that could certainly give him in addition to the sure purse a cut to the Pay per view revenue, I think a Tyson Fury fight would be a great deal for him, then when he got into a match with Tyson Fury I think that is the best way to switch from MMA to a boxing career, if he can not tolerate anymore the bad gesture Dana White is getting at him then I think it is really time to leave the first sports that have made you into a big star, well nothing lasts forever that is why it is good to pursue what you want to do,

And in Ngannou's case, boxing is a very ideal sport for him that he wants to try, but that Knee injury he sustain before the Ciryl Gane fight is a big issue right now that is why he needs to rest for a bit and try to focus on healing, for now, I don't know if he signs another contract with the UFC, but let's just wait if he would truly become a boxer of not.

Here is my pick for tomorrow's games, highlighted in green are my picks,

New Orleans Pelican VS Boston Celtics

Stake Odds are 2.85 for the Pelicans and 1.45 for the Celtics right now I think that the Pelicans have some issues with some of its main players with injuries, Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, Brandon Ingram, Jonas Valanciunas, and Devonte' Graham having problems with his knee and in question, if he can play, while Bol Bol is the only player for the Celtics that can not play, for me the Bolton Celtics is in good health and the pelicans may struggle with the Bonton Celtics that is why my pick would be the Boston Celtics.

Philadelphia 76ers VS Sacramento Kings

Stake Odds are 1.15 for the 76ers and 6.00 for the Kings, many are trusting the 76ers to win against the Sacramento Kings, right now Shake Milton is unable to play and Terence Davis for the Kings and De'Aaron Fox and Chimezie Metu are in question if they can play, I think we should stay away in betting for the Philadelphia 76ers since it is not profitable the way the Odds is in favor for the 76ers, but if Sacramento Kings can pull an upset then it is a huge profit to bet for the Kings but I am afraid it is a big risk, my pick is the 76ers but staying away from betting.

Golden State Warriors VS Brooklyn Nets

Stake Odds are 1.40 for the Warriors while 3.10 for the Nets, I think the huge possibility on why the odds are not so close because right now the splash brothers are back and with more than just the splash because each and every one of the Dubs Players can shoot from the 3 points, while the Nets doesn't have Kevin Durant, Joe Harris and Paul Millsap this is a great deal for the Brooklyn Nets, their power is not that much without Kevin Durant playing, while James Wiseman, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala can not play for the Warriors, my opinion Warriors are doing great in terms with their offense and defense even without Draymond Green so my pick will be the Golden State Warriors.
3670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 29, 2022, 11:35:57 AM
I think that Dortmund will have a tougher game than Bayern Munich next week. Because their opponent is Leverkusen which is a tough one than Leipzig this season. Leverkusen are at the third position in the standings right now. However, this still doesn't matter too much for Dortmund if we take their recent effort into account. For example, Freiburg were also one of the top teams in the standings but Dortmund still didn't care about it and destroyed them. Maybe the Leverkusen game would be a competitive one but Dortmund should be winning this one too.

I agree, Leverkusen is doing great right now that is why they stayed at the 3rd position in the standings, this is my verdict I think that Leverkusen may still give a tough game for Dortmund and can end up having to Draw the game or win with 1 goal advantage, Patrick Schick their top goalscorer is in good condition although 4 injured players and 1 with Coronavirus, 3 suspensions and 2 risks of suspension they still have a chance because Erling Haaland have muscle problems and if this continues this could be a crucial game for Dortmund, in addition to Haaland, there are 5 other players that have injuries and 2 risks of suspension, there are still hope the game is on February 5, and they're still time to rest let's just wait if Erling Haaland and the other player would recuperate from their injuries,


Haaland would only be a reinforcement for Bayern if at the same time Lewandowski would not leave the club and there are indications that he might not extend his contract. Otherwise, Haaland would simply be an equal replacement to Lewandowski. However, I believe that should Haaland move to Bayern, Lewandowski will leave the club because Bayern's current successful tactics and gameplay cannot be continued with both players at the pitch at the same time.

I agree whether Bayern could replace him, or Robert Lewandowski would leave, and if Erling Haaland would depart and would surely go to Bayern, a possibility of that exchange is to happen, I think there is no need for two super scorers to share the limelight of 1 club or team, and certainly, if this happens the balance on the Bundesliga will once again be broken and we could see Bayern likely to be champion once again.

Haaland shouldn't be sold if Dortmund really aim to win the Bundesliga title and achieve big things in the Champions League also. He is a critical player for them in terms of scoring many goals. I assume that he has scored most of Dortmund's goal only by himself since he came there. But as long as he has a this cheap release clause, it seems like impossible for Dortmund to keep him at the team anymore. This summer, I think that Dortmund won't be able to keep him and we will start watching him in another league.

Dortmund had likely sold their players to get income from them you can say they like to focus on giving birth to a top scorer kind of player by eventually nurturing them to greatness, and selling them to a higher price just like they did with Robert Lewandowski, Lewandowski was once a Dortmund player and then sold to Bayern I think this is Dortmund intent in the 1st place, they will be sold their greatest asset and would not care for a championship at all, but right now they are getting into the 2nd place of the standing is remarkable I don't know if this is intentional or just a coincidence.
3671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 29, 2022, 10:12:51 AM

Yeah, winning a boxing match would just add fuel to the fire, because overall UFC fighters going into Boxing haven't really done well. Apart from Anderson Silva I think all in recent memory have done pretty poorly. The thing is Ngannou is unlikely going to be able to cherry pick his opponent, since he won't have the cash behind him like Jake Paul does, and a lot of fighters will want to avoid fighting him because of his power.

Even Logan Paul vs Mayweather was absolutely massive, I do see that Logan Paul is claiming that Mayweather promotions haven't paid him his share though. Not exactly sure how to verify his claims though.



I really think passion is what drives a fighter in pursuing what he wants and Francis Ngannou is one of that fighters, I really think that he has already done training as a boxer, even though he has shown tremendous strength in wrestling against Ciryl Gane because he is pushing himself to his limits and really wants to win, I think the drive to win really has pushed him the boundary in wrestling, and because of that knee injury that he doesn't want to publicize, this has pushed him to used wrestling, and he said that he wants to keep on winning with a Knockout or submission but that only decision win was because due to his knee injury, I think he pushes himself to the brink in training both in boxing and with his upcoming fight to Ciryl Gane, so many boxers should avoid him because of his power and determination, but I still like Ciryl Gane,

I haven't seen that issue yet, but if I would see it will surely share that here, that is a massive claim that Mayweather promotions haven't given his payment yet, and right now I think they have a personal vendetta going on and because of this issue it will surely rise even more.
3672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 29, 2022, 09:31:42 AM

Congrats, the Nuggets cover that spread as you have said, they won by a margin of 11 points.

I haven't made any bet for the games today because something came up but I really enjoy the game as well, you can say that Nikola Jokic was really amazing in getting a triple-double for this game, and yes the score was spread to the entire team, but we can not take out the lack of players on the Pelican site that is why the Nuggets is crushing them, Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas was not playing for the Pelicans so they are in a big pinch against the Denver Nuggets.

Clippers continue to struggle without Paul George, but it was a good and entertaining game. I also think that they have changes in the game to win. But the Heat prevail but not enough to cover the -7.5 spread as Clippers wanted to get the score close in the end.

Well, it is not really enough the Miami Heat is dominating all the stat percentage from Field goals, 3 pointers, and free throws even though they are high on turnovers they got 18 while the Clippers has 13 they still manage to win the game, Bam Adebayo manage a Double-double play, 12 rebounds, 4 Assist, and 20 Points and Jimmy Butler lead the game with 26 points, the Miami Heat have managed to spread their score to each team, even though Victor Oladipo, Markieff Morris, Chris Silva, KZ Okpala, and Kyle Lowry didn't play for the Heat they still manage to win the game.

Congratulations mate, and to all who put their bets on the Bucks. Surely it wasn't an easy handicap but luckily they've defeated the NY Knicks and managed to score 123 points with a 15 points difference.
As expected, Giannis led the game and made 38 points alone with ofcourse the help of Middleton and Holiday who also managed to contribute a total of 44 points.

I can not stress out more, that was a good game coming from the Milwaukee Bucks, and that pass from Giannis Antetokounmpo was really incredible, from start to finish the Bucks is dominating the game, and there is no quarter where the New York Knicks lead the game, pretty much even if the Knicks have to lead the field goals, and 3 pointers percentages it is not enough to win against the Bucks free throw percentage has to go to the Bucks, and I was always looking at the games turnover count, Bucks have 12 and the Knicks have 14 that I think still have an impact with the game,

I would put up my picks later, would look at the team's injury reports and other news about the games tomorrow.

3673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 28, 2022, 10:08:04 PM
By the way, why everybody think thank Ngannou would earn millions in boxing? Before ufc created him a star, he was nobody. Without ufc promotion, would the world know that there is a boxer in France that knock people out cold? Would someone offer him a million cheque for the fight? He would need first ti go through number of fights, before he gets a real opponent and get paid huge.
Doesn't really matter who made you famous, just the fact that you're famous in terms of boxing. In boxing, there's much less well known fighters earning more than the heavyweight champion of the UFC. Also, there's also Jake Paul, although that's probably not comparable because he's well known, and a big name in Youtube. Though, there's definitely lesser known boxers making more than Ngannou.

He would walk into a fight with Fury if he wanted, which would mean big bucks for him. Even if he only got 20 percent of the purse he would be better off.

I agree! if you would look at different fighters in the UFC that are already retired and having boxing exhibitions with a known boxer, or well-known youtube star those UFC fighters are getting much money from getting payment on fights on UFC, Ben Askren VS Jake Paul have generated 1.5 Million PPV, (Jake Paul claims) and Ben Askren Guaranteed purse money was $500,000 USD, Jake Paul VS Tyron Woodley 1st fight Tyron Woodley Guaranteed purse money was $2,000,000 USD I don't know about their 2nd match base purse because the fighter pay is not released, but we can estimate base from their 1st fight that it could be $1,000,000 USD or another $2,000,000 USD, and add to the Base Purse money they will also get PPV revenue on how much the PPV would be earned, While the Evander Holyfield VS Vitor Belfort fight although the payout was not published aswell, there is an estimated revenue and Belfort will get $300,000 to $400,000 USD and plus the PPV revenue of the fight and we all knew who won that fight,

And from this, if Francis Ngannou would sure fight in a boxing match, he could likely take almost a lot from an Exhibition match I think he needs to win an Exhibition match 1st, to certainly become well-known in the world of boxing, and yes he is well-known in his own rights, in the UFC and if that Tyson Fury VS Francis Ngnnou would continue then I think that would be a bigger fight than with the rest I have mentioned.

Edit: oh I forgot the Mayweather VS McGregor fights but you can sure search their Guaranteed purse and PPV revenue online.

The line is really too high considering that the Knicks is a decent team. But I like the line, it tells us to bet on the Knicks but what would happen in this game is that the Bucks will dominate them and win by more than 10 points, I hope my expectation will come into reality.

In my opinion, the Milwaukee Bucks could still win this right now I think Derrick Rose is not going to play until February 25, while Brook Lopez and Lindell Wigginton can not play for the Bucks, but yes Giannis Antetokounmpo will play and I think the main players will play instead of Brook Lopez, stake odds is 1.20 for the Bucks and 4.80 for the Knicks there is a possibility for the Bucks in winning this, and if you look at their December 13 game the Bucks win it dominating the whole game, and Derrick Rose had played the game with 18 pts, and yes Knicks that time have a tremendous player disadvantage because they only got 9 players playing for them, but I guess the Milwaukee Bucks could certainly win this,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 105 - 87 WIN

Golden State Warriors VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 124 - 115 - WIN

Just as I thought the Los Angeles Lakers will have a big problem without Lebron James even though Anthony Davis has a double-double stat and made 31 pts but it is still not enough with the combined Joel Embiid, and Tobias Harris, the 76ers have dominated the game stats percentage gaining momentum on Field Goals and 3 pointers and gaining upper hand with the 1st Quarter and 3rd Quarter of the game,

I never expect a beautiful game and momentum the Warriors will have even without Draymond Green and even with that 18 Turnover versus 9 turnovers for the Timberwolves they still manage to win the game, gaining domination on the overall stats of 3 pointer percentage and just like I have said Karl-Anthony Town would be a big threat without the defense of Draymond Green giving Timberwolves a double-double play 12 Rebounds, 6 Assist, and 31 Points, but the splash brother have dominated the 3 point line with Curry 29 points and Klay 23 points.

You are saying correct words. Ice hockey is more popular. Same is with boxing and UFC. You have mentioned safety. Again, 100% hit. Boxing is more dangerous than MMA. Injuries can be cured, but no one can cure the damage punch does to the brain. Also, ever heart that any MMA fighter died or get crippled during or in a short time after the fight? Boxing has hundred of such cases.

Found new info about situation with Ngannou. There is a clause in his contract, that does not allow him to compete in combat sport one year after his UFC contract ends. He is 35, becoming a boxing star at 37 is hard. (this news can be fake)

Well, I will not be saying such things if it isn't a fact and Dana White should research more and look at the situations of most fighters why they want higher pay, and why some fighters are just so happy to get a fight of the night extra money because think the amount is unreasonable, but lifetime damage can surely be sustained by fighters not only with boxing but here in the UFC aswell, we can not run from the facts and I think there will be a time that Dana could Realize what he is doing,

I don't know if that contract is true, but definitely, we should see what is inside that contract just to be sure, and I think a higher possibility that it was there in the contract is huge, UFC management can sure put something like that, and to secure that the fighter of UFC would just stay fighting for UFC, I think that is why retired fighters are a free fighter, and most UFC fighters would fight in different combat sports in their age that is not qualified anymore, and not in their prime.

Boxers do make alot more than these other entertainment associations due to the fact of them winning a "purse".
And this is not what Dana White has available to his fighters in the organization.
I believe he planned it this way from the very start when he became president back in 2001 and basically took it over from Art Davie and Rorion Gracie.
So he makes all the rules and if you don't like he tells them to **** off just like he had with Francis when he didn't put the belt on him after the fight nor attend the post fight press conference.

Well, just like what I said his rules we can not do something about it, this is his UFC, a very popular one right now, that is why Francis Ngannou has wakened up and pursued other careers but that contract had bound him in not doing what he like, maybe Ngannou have spoken this thing to Dana White and White, doesn't like the sound and that kind of idea, that is why he is very angry with Francis Ngannou when it won the UFC 270.

I think the 2 games tomorrow is pretty much interesting to watch and will be another close much, and here are my picks for tomorrows game highlight in green are my picks

Philadelphia 76ers VS Los Angeles Lakers

Stake Odds for both teams, 1.72 for the 76ers, and 2.16 for the Lakers making the Los Angeles Lakers a slight underdog, right now Seth Curry and Shake Milton can not play because of injury while Danny Green is questionable if he can play, while the Lakers Kendrick Nunn is still out until Feb. 27 and Sekou Doumbouya and Anthony Davis is in question if they would play, but regardless of their return I think they can play, I think despite Joel Embiid great performance Lebron James is doing as much, I really think the 76ers defense right now is quite shaky but their offense will be incredible but I am going with the Lakers, Lebron James is doing a remarkable job in giving high score and the return of Anthony Davis, if he could play, will set up a good play for offense and defense.

Golden State Warriors VS Minnesota Timberwolves

Stake Odds are 1.42 for the Warriors and 3.00 for the Timberwolves, the Golden State is quite doing remarkable wins and having consecutive wins even with the games that are so close to losing, right now again James Wiseman, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala is out while Jaylen Nowell and Patrick Beverley is in question if they could play, I don't really know why the Warriors still gets the odds despite losing to the Timberwolves on their last match well I think it is because of how Jonathan Kuminga replaced Draymond Green on his position and doing as remarkable as he does, I think they can surely manage to pull out this time a win against the Timberwolves.

Elsewhere, with Giannis in the starting line up for the Bucks tonight, I'll be going with the Bucks -4.5 vs the Cavaliers.

GL!

This one IMO is safer, I'm taking it as I believe that the Bucks would win tonight and will dominate the Cavaliers. Though on the road, Bucks would definitely gonna crush the Cavaliers and Giannis would be unstoppable once again.

The last time they meet, the Cavaliers beat them (MIL 90 - CLE 119), so it's about time for them to payback and beat the Cavaliers on their home.

What a performance by the Cavaliers, I guess there's no such thing as a safe bet in the league for now, you either win or lose at a 50/50 chance. Giannis had 26 points and 9 boards, but still that wasn't enough to get Milwaukee Buck within range of the Cavaliers. They couldn't just put a foot wrong all through the game.

I really thought that the Milwaukee Bucks would win aswell because they were on the lead in the 1st quarter with 26 - 35 but the next 2 quarters did a tremendous comeback that in the last quarter the Bucks wasn't able to come back from, the Cavaliers lead, Grayson Allen wasn't able to play against the Cavaliers, maybe that is a big part, but Giannis Antetokounmpo's 26 points wasn't enough they sure need more, and another think turnovers was a big factor why the Bucks have lost this game, they have 19 turnovers and Cavaliers have 12, and the Cleveland Cavaliers also have most of the percentage on the 3 pointers,

My dude!  Mitchell and Gobert were both out.  I was just posting about how this should be an easy spread clearing win for the Suns.  They've been playing great lately as you indicated above, while the Jazz have been struggling.  That's a bad combination for a winning pick.  I'm never one to bet against a contrarian but this one seemed like an easy dub. 

The Jazz did make a nice little run with about 4 minutes left, but dumb offensive fouls and poor defense sealed their fate.  Booker and Paul are a hell of a combination out there these days.  I'm surprised Chris Paul is still playing at such a high level, but he is...  If Ayton can come back from injury strong I think they might be in for another deep playoff run.

I have taken the Phoenix Suns aswell than taking the Utah Jazz because the Suns have a high winning percentage than the Jazz even though the Utah Jazz is playing at home, the Suns still manage to perform well, despite Utah Jazz has a much percentage when it comes to 3 pointers and free throw percentage,  they have a lot of turnovers that the Phoenix Suns exploited, having 14 turnovers while the Suns just only have, Turnovers can always ruin a good play and could surely affect the situation.

People who compare fighters payment in boxing and UFC and say that UFC fighters deserves to earn more, what could you say about payment in ice hockey and field hockey? Both sports require puck, equipment and stick. Top NHL players earn 10+ millions per season. Field hockey players get around 100k. Or compare soccer player payments with Australian football payments. Unfair again? Cheesy

in my opinion, Ice Hockey is more popular than Field Hockey, you can not compare the two, because mainly not all countries have a sport of field hockey mainly popularized in the USA ice hockey is very well-known and popular, and I myself really don't know that there is a field hockey game if you would not spout it here, I don't know if Field Hockey is the original sports and ice hockey just derived from field hockey or vice versa, but I think people like me would notice ice hockey more than field hockey, and from that I think we can conclude that there are many sponsors for ice hockey than with field hockey,

and again, we can not compare UFC and boxing and with their payments anyway, but I am just saying that UFC fighters should be compensated by the way sports could risk one's lives or involve the safety of someone should take a  huge profit out of it, or just give him all the profit that he earned or all-expense-paid should not be taken out on a fighters payment but should be on the management side, or if not pay a large amount to the fighter,

But anyway Dana White is the one controlling it so it is his decision, and there are no legal actions regarding this kind of treatment to the fighters,

in the game against Gladbach of course they were in a bad form. Fatigue is possible for most players with several matches in a short period.
Looking at the results of the last few matches, Munich has a pretty good result. won 2-1 against Mainz, won 0-5 against VfB, won 4-0 against Wolfsburg, and won 0-4 against Cologne. it makes Munich very strong at the top of the table. defeat against Gladbach I'm sure a lot of gamblers lost their bets there.

Well, maybe fatigue is one big factor for the team, but why Gladbach is more consistent in their loss, do you think they are always in a state of fatigue? and I think this is not an issue either because all teams or clubs are experiencing the same thing,

Bayern Munich is doing too well that yes Leipzig or Dortmund is the only teams that I think could stop their winnings but these two teams should have 100% to secure a win against Bayern, and Bayern doesn't need to be at their 85% to win a game against other teams, what I am saying here is that we can all agree that Bayern is that kind of a team that can surely break the balance of the Bundesliga, that is how strong Bayern is,

I agree with you. Scoring goals doesn't seem like the problem for Dortmund at least in the season. As they have been consistently scoring goals every game with or without Haaland. Bayern Leipzig will be a great match for Bayern, Leipzig, and also Dortmund. Because every point Bayern loses right now will be a plus point for Dortmund.

All I wish is for Leipzig to have a win against Bayern so that Dortmund can have a fighting chance to make a comeback, don't get me wrong I like Bayern but right now I want a fair match and a new champion for this season, but if Bayern ends up winning as champion again it is still OK, but I think Leipzig and Dortmund can have a chance the game is on February 5 all teams will surely have a rest before their match, and for Leipzig, they need this 100% rested team and a bit of luck on their match against Bayern, Dortmund will have a very crucial match aswell with Leverkusen but Erling Haaland is a game-changer for the team so I have no worries that they can win even with only 1 goal advantage.

Just in, the Ngannou VS Gane fight, that Francis Ngannou has a knee injury when he fights Ciryl Gane, that is why he has those knee supports to cover the injured knee so basically, Francis Ngannou is fighting with 1 leg, if this is true then Ciryl Gane's has a handicap when he fought Ngannou, and that is why the fight ends up in a Decision, and Ngannou on the third round have decided to go on with the takedowns and wrestling his way to win, which is effective but at the same time, this time luck is on his side, what do you guys think?


I think Dana is hoping one of O'Malley and Paddy will be the new McGregor. I think they both have potential but probably not at Connor-level. They both get attention but

For me, we can not compare them to Conor McGregor, and with that kind of level of hype, I really think that Sean O'Malley has no shine anymore when Marlon Vera Destroy's his ego, and I think that if they would fight again Marlon Vera will definitely going to win again, in my opinion, and with Aljamain Sterling keeps on dodging another fight, that was the rumors says, the UFC should strip him of the Bantamweight Champion, and give it to the most qualified one, for me Petr Yan or Marlon Vera.
