UFC Quick Quote: Tito Ortiz and Punishment Athletics

punishment athletics

"I run a multib(m)illion dollar company."

-- UFCs Tito Ortiz reveals during last night's episode on NBCs "Celebrity Apprentice" that Punishment Athletics is raking in billions (that's what it sounded like, anyway). Hyperbole, reality or did he mean millions? More than likely it would have to be millions, which is still rather impressive. In other news, Ortiz could be on his way out next week after the teaser for the upcoming episode depicted Donald Trump saying, "You're fantastic, and you're a champion, but you're fired." Lennox Lewis and Jennie Finch appear to be the only other possibilities.

I couldn’t tell if he said multibillion or multimillion. To me it sounded like he said multimillion but he was pissed and talking pretty fast so it was hard to tell for sure.

the man is smart there is no taking that away from him,i also liked the way he steeped up to the other guys after he made that commet,tito is no slouch when it comes to being told to stand back,if he is voted off then so be it it really doesent matter as long as he stands up for what is right,and he really does care about his charity that the true meaning of the whole show.

I rewound it like 10 times … sounded like billion. He was talking fast. Regardless, even if it’s millions, that’s pretty damn good for PA.

Tito also says he invented everything in the ufc. Yeah Sure.
Tito is smart and crafty business man..cuz for a few years now he has not been that guy..but still sells as much as Chuck and GsP when he fights PVV events. With his company..and starting it with only $500 dollars..to what it is today..goes to his credit..but I’m not sure it’s multiBillion dollar..really not sure. I’m sure he pulls a few mill’s, between acting, endorsments, clothing, investments, ufc fights and what not..at this point who is he?? His not talking about the LHW title no more..or fighting the tuf fighters..Tito has done alot of positive things with his name with charity work and going to Iraq at meet out troops and stuff..with that he gets my props..but with mma politics..he is not a serious contender..but is good in acting like one.

It’s multi-billion pesos, actually

Yea, it sounded like “billion” to me, too.

Haha, this show is such a trainwreck, but since Tito is on, I’ll continue to watch. Hopefully he doesn’t get kicked off next week. Without the Office, my Thursday night TV options are dwindling.

Tito must have just watched the Borat movie. “Thaats Naaice, high Fiiiive” Hopefully that was just one day and we will not see it again. Someone should make a little clip of it when he gives Lennox a high five.

I don’t see a lot of people sporting PA so I don’t know how he’s a multi-million dollar company. I’d say more like a multi-thousand dollar company.
Based on their website and the images for their apparel, I wouldn’t buy a damn thing from them. The products on their site aren’t even actual products. It’s clipart with artwork placed over them. I hate it when these companies don’t take the time to properly market themselves and look professional.

I hear that the UFC all access show for UFC 81 will feature Brock Lesnar. Great I get to see how a novice mma fighter trains for a co main event fight………What a joke!

lol, at first it looked like Lennox was going to leave Tito hanging, but then he eventually gave in and gave him a high five.

The Donald was looking to his right when he said “you’re fired” in the teaser video. Couldn’t mean much but the women sit on the right side of Donald.

I just read an interview with Rampage, and I found it interesting that he will recieve the PRIDE middleweight belt. He has yet to receive the PRIDE belt, but said that the Pride belt takes w hile to make….. I am happy to hear that after all the blood sweat and tears he shed in the PRIDE ring while chasing the title he will finally be able to hang that belt up in his house.

Just because you don’t see people supporting PA doesn’t mean people support PA other places, I support PA, and how do you know if it is not professional, do you buy tapout stuff? because all there artwork is done by Mask.
Anyways onto the show I hope it isn’t Tito or Jennie, buit do you think it could possibly be Omarosa that gets fired? because she was the first winner of the Apprentice and The Donald could refer to her as champion.

Even if Tito said Billion, he either didn’t mean to or he was just straight up lying. Obviously his company is not and will never rake in Billions of dollars. And what’s with his perma- smile, he looks like a friggin goon, all of the time. And then his nasty plastic —-dumpster of a girlfriend really helps this couple go down as the worst couple in the history of male and female parters.

I think he could be bringing in millions Tito is a hell of a business man. But he has to be or he would have already have faded into obscurity. Tito was\is a great fighter but i think he makes a better business man cuz he hasnt really won the fights he has needed to. The show isnt that good slightly amusing at times but i wont cry if i miss an episode thats for sure.

Tito is a smart dude. He has done a splendid job in marketing (UFC and himself). You all talk about how he can’t fight anymore. He has had 3 loses in the last 7 Years…let me say that again 3 loses in the last 7 years. Let take a quick peek at Chuck and Randy…by the way those are the only 2 guys that have beat Tito in the last 7 years.
        Randy, has lost 6 times in the last 6 years…don’t get me wrong I love Randy. Look at Chuck 4 times in the last 4 years…again I love Chuck too. But you all need to spot hating on Tito so much…use some common sense. Tito heart might not be in fighter anymore but he is still one of the best fighters of all time.
        There are 2 Tito’s, one that fills up and sell PPV events…the cocky, bad boy that make you watch what he does (all an act for marketing). Then there is the real tito, all of you saw the real tito on TUF…tito is truly a good guy. Tito has done a lot more for this sport then any other fighter has and should get all of your respect! Man it sounds like I’m on Tito’s nuts, but I’m not, I’m just tired of all you all hating on him when he has done so much. Later!!!!!

He is a nice guy, no doubt about it. I have had a couple of drinks with him and I was kinda shocked at the time on how nice he was in person.

A lot of people may hate him for actually having their imaginary girlfriend. ;)

All you haters out there better recognize one thing Tito is the p diddy of MMA he turned soething that already was great to something that has beome even greater. its funny how all you haters leave a blog but your doing it from your coach at home. This man not only fihts his heart out, trains his heart out, gives to the needy, supports our troops, sponsers blood drives, BUT he has also turned 500$ into millions in a matter of a couple of years. You guys are nothing but lops compared to man. do something great with your lives and work as hard as he does and then maybe you can talk. Hey Tito when is your next fight???? You already whooped rashad but i think he has another one coming. Im out

Its cool Tito is getting famous and making a career outside the octagon. But i would rather see Tito fighting 3-5 times a year. I don’t care if he ever sees the belt again i just want to see him fight and prove his self that he can win in a good fashion against top 10 contenders, and shut up all the haters that say he’s past his prime.

Boss, what you said is exactally how it is with Tito. He only lost to Randy and Chuck recently(As MOST guys do). He also lasted alot longer than most guys do against them. His heart isn’t into fighting anymore,(that is why I’m not a fan of his)but I have to give credit where credit is due. Tito would beat MOST of the LHW, even without his heart.

  He probably makes alot more then you. I think they market damn good if your a mma fan of course your not going to see a 30 second bit after a news cast because mma is just hitting the main stream. Give the guy a little credit he could of ended up like alot of the earlier fighters or old boxers.

dude or whatever u r, Tito couldn’t even beat Rashad Evans! Rashad is overated and so is Tito. Thiago Silva is someone 2 lookout 4. I’m predicting Forrest over Rampage anyway incase u care. I hope Tito loses his next couple fights and retires. Not ORTIZ More like ORTIZ – THE CRYBABY!!!
