... because this fraudulent honey commercial does "not fit his powerful image:"
It's honestly impossible to make this stuff up.

Critics always said Fedor was a Bee-fighter. Bah-dum-dum.

I agree…“it does not fit his powerful image” :) That commercial sucks and Fedor should be paid/punished for being part of it, regarding what was the deal.
You could use that sentence also after 1st loss (if it ever comes)…

after reading thr article Im a but confused. Why did he shoot the commercial if he didnt want it to be aired?

Dudes, Fedor isn’t taking time away from his fighting game from the ring to the court room. He’s got lawyers to take care of that shit.
And props to his lawyers!
Like Frank Mir said, “I like combat in all its forms. Lawyers are some of the most strategic combatants in nowaday times… not so much being able to fight with fists and hands but be able to use their minds.”

Good fighter and a good businessman. Just screwed that company nicely for an easy pay.

What kind of powerful image was he wanting to project from sipping a bottle of honey? His dumbass should have known that you can’t make something like that look powerful. Next up: Fedor sues a commercial he starred in for Huggies because it exposed him as the whiny baby he truly is.

I’m sure he thought it would depict him in a tough and rugged fashion. You know, like all the other honey commercials.

They should have had a commercial where he fight s a guy in a bee costume from SNL. It could be the only decent opponent for a while.

DO you actually think Fedor gives a flying F**k what american fans think of him. No. he probably doesnt give a shit what anyone thinks of him
you can show pics of him eating icecream or in goofy commercials it doesnt matter because he has yet to be beaten by an opponent and is still the baddest Mother f***king fighter alive right now

Who cares? He’s making as much money as possible, WTF why not!
Look how much Mayweather made fighting in the WWE, it’s crazy! Fedor u suck, but at least u suck on your own terms and you are your own man.

After his fight with Choi VanDam was wipeing his face but it looked more like caressing, and VanDam was looking at him with googly eyes. Maybe they both have sugar in there tanks. Fedors overrated when he fights a real top fighter he’ll get exposed.

He might want to refrain from doing gay ass comercials that confirm his love life with Van Damme.

You can’t blame the guy really. I mean, how hard was it for him to make that commercial and look how much money they gave him to do it. Easy money, and he didn’t even have to take a punch.

Jesus, what else will this guy do to make a few bucks? Next he’ll be making tampon commercials stating that he uses them to soak up his ass sweat!
Then again, 1.6 million? There’s a lot I would do for that kind of money!

Amen! To be the best you have to beat the best…and he beat the best (Nogueira), its up to other fighters to take away his crown….Until someone beats him, fans can hate all they want but he is the badest dude on the planet.
Ask Rampage who the best fighters in the world are, or Brandon Verra… They have all said FEDOR!!!!

Mayweather did NOT get 20 million for that. Vinnie Mac said it was 20 million and had Floyd play up the whole Money Mayweather thing to generate some heat (wrestling-speak for a negative fan reaction) as well as mainstream media attention. He actually pocketed maybe $2 million.

He asked for 1.55 Billion? WTF!
I caught that too. 1.55 billion is just plain ridiculous. He must be planning on never fighting again. Surely that wasn’t a typo.

Just can’t get over the 1.55 billion. He must really think his shit don’t stink! And people are turning their back on Couture saying it is all about money to him but defending Fedor by saying he just wants to compete in Sambo tourneys. Sounds to me like Fedor could care less about competing and just wants money. Dana is right—-crazy Russians!

fedor you can do whatever the hell you please, as long as you continue to beat the crap out of all the NOGs of the world out there like you have, you will always have the last laugh!

Fedor is a joke…He fights fake fights with comical other fighters. The only true test of this guy at this point is UFC. Other then than, he can keep fighting other jokes until he calls it quits.

Are you sure that isn’t 1.55 billion yen or whatever the Korean currency is? If that’s the case it’s still a ton of money but not nearly as much as it sounds like.

i think if you polled most of the fighters today on who is p4p the best in the sport i think most would say a. silva 1rst then b.j.,gsp,randy and fedor in no particular order. last year at this time they would have said fedor but i dont know about now. he’s just been to damned inactive against inferior competition. i think it is a compliment if they say fedor is still in the top 5 p4p after the last 3 years. hopefully he signs soon and fights someone good at the same time.Amen! To be the best you have to beat the best…and he beat the best (Nogueira), its up to other fighters to take away his crown….Until someone beats him, fans can hate all they want but he is the badest dude on the planet.

2 day, you may be right. But I remember this past summer I read in all kinds off different magazines that most of the fighters response to that question was Fedor and BJ Penn.

Yeah I re-read it a few times, says as far as I can tell, that fedor asked for 1.55 Billion and settled for 1.6 Million! I think fighters are awesome, risking themselves for my entertainment BUT asking for a billion dollars is so Dr Evil I have to mock it.
