As for the money side of things. I wont lie and say I wish I was getting a piece of this PPV. Of course I want that, so does every other fighter on the card that is not. I love to fight but I would love to fight for millions of dollars. Who wouldn’t want to be paid millions of dollars for doing what they love (aside from that girl in Twilight)? But, I am not fighting for the money. If I was I would have checked out of this sport LONG ago. This is not the NFL and there is no league minimums. You eat what you kill and that is all. I have a great team making sure that I have plenty of game to hunt. I am not dependent upon fighting Brock to cash out. I am making more off of being a fighter than I could ever have imagined. I regularly make calls to my manager thanking him for “changing my families life”. I have been blessed by MMA, most of the MMA media, the fans, and even the haters and for that I am forever grateful. For those of you reporting I am only making $50,000 for this fight and that is the reason behind my limiting media, please get your facts right it is $80,000 ($40 to show and $40 to win) plus you have to factor in my generous sponsors (THANKS) and the KO and FOTN bonus that will be awarded to me on July 3rd. I would have done it for less, I love competing and testing myself.
I do not know if I have enough time in the sport to ever be the next “Brock”. This is something I am okay with. I just want to be the very best ME I can be. I want to make sure you can reach me and we enjoy this journey together. I am not a superstar just a guy chasing his dream. I am happy with that because I know many that are not in the chase anymore. They speak of their dreams in the past tense, for me I am seeing a future filled with the best fans and fellow athletes anyone could ever hope for.
I am grateful to even be here. I have worked hard my entire life and I do not know any other way. There are no short cuts, I can’t throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at trainers and training partners and expect to win. Winning for me is a lifetime of work. I was taught at a very young age that you have to work for whatever you want in life. I am doing that, I have put in the time and I deserve to be fighting for this belt. I know the more I put into it, the harder I work I more chance I have of having my hand raised at the end of the fight.
I hope Brock is ready for a war. I have prepared myself for the very best Brock Lesnar and I hope that is who shows up.
