I follow you about as well as you follow me. My impression, perhaps incorrect, is that you were implying that Fedor is just motivated by cash, and not by a dislike for White. If that is what you think, then I am saying that maybe it ain't so, as I think Klitchkos are motivated by a dislike for King, and if that is true for them, then maybe it is true for Fedor.

Well if you believe Fedor he has been quoted that White's comments had nothing to do with signing/not signing. The UFC met every contract demand Fedor's management put forth except co-promotion. It may very well be more than just money but IMHO I don't think White being a media whore and asshole played a part. I doubt Fedor personally has had much if any one on one time with White.

And I doubt Klitchko has had much one one one time with King, but that didn't stop them from forming an opinion of the guy, and I wouldn't simply chalk that opinion up to the way the media portrayed him. One on one is not exactly the only, or even the best, way to form an opinion on someone
Anyways, I see your point. Fedor through his management rejected White's conditions. Or White rejected Fedor's, which is just the flip side of the same coin. That's the only thing we really have to go on. Whatever role Fedor's like or dislike of White plays is really just speculation on my part.
Yeah I'd think that when you are looking at millions some douchebag says but I can't find myself to get all worked up about it and for me White is an easy scapegoat.
that's one possibility I suppose
I dont get the whole complaint about what UFC pays their fighters, what other organization compares to the UFC? There is none, all the other MMA organizations operate on a shoestring budget and lack staying power. What good is it to pay a fighter more money when the organization will more than likely become dissolved sooner than later.
UFC provides a steady and stable income/ career with a proven track record of success along with many opportunities for mainstream appeal and big time endorsements and sponsorship... UFC as a company is the bench mark, carved its niche and puts on the best production hands down.

The truth is, UFC need Fedor, they just have average fighters compared to Fedor.
but on the other hand, Fedor needs UFC also, what is he going to do after Overeem (which, imo will blast Briock in one round) and Jeff Moonson ?
but don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that for Brock, but against a man like Mir, Noguiera, Cain Velasquez, it can be interesting.
BTW, just to refresh memories, Fedor was meant to fight Barnett, who is really the number 2 nowadays...so it's not like if he was fighting tomato cans. Brock is far from the level of Barnett.
