War on the Mainland: Nobody's going to tell Jens Pulver he's too old or when to stop

Daniel,

Financially: Jen never really hit full stride when MMA was netting fighters the big bucks, I’m talking about $100K+ per fight with a 3 fight average per year… So I can agree with you that he probably needs funds. Your question about "why not keep getting that pay cheque as long as you can? Let’s look at the basic economics of the fight game. If Jen has total renumeration of $10,000 a fight and fights three times a year we have gross $30,000.00. Take away 10-20% for management/trainers and your left with $25,000.00 roughly without taxes. That’s peanuts and completely ruins your argument about "How we will remember Jens: Health Wise, Future Wise… None of this matters unless he can post victories and get back into the big leagues and big money. Let me phrase it like this (Daniel, I think this is what you meant to say…) Jen’s will be fighting for peanuts to secure his financial future, legacy, health and his future fighting career. Wanna re-think your post. Pulver has lost his step, hasn’t evolved- you have to agree with this as you acknowledge his being submitted in defeated vs. KO’d.

With guys like Franklin and Couture- Zuffa has zero need to Pulver. Again, Pulver should develop new talent, seemed to be a good, caring coach and lead his students down the path he ought to have taken.

Let’s revisit your points here pal. You can be a Jens fan all you want, that’s something I encourage you to do because Jen’s is losing fans not winning them over.

Winning, oh, well not synonymous with Jens these days, the act of winning is critical for: Financially, How we will remember Jens, Health Wise and Future Wise; your points in your posting on Jens. Financially, his stock continues to drop.

Your welcome to argue this or any of my points. How we will remember Jens (can be summed up in 1 one: Legacy). Jen’s legacy will not change dramatically with another loss under his belt, we’ve really come to expect it out of Jens. He’ll be remember by fans and critics alike as being a dynamic, powerful and intense fighter. The way Jens will remember himself down the road is another issue (long-term) and the way he perceive himself now (short-term) is another. Health Wise you originally assert that he has had “no long term health harm due to losing 7” (8 now) of his last 8 and 9 fights, respectively. Jens’ doctor says those words not you, its not your place and its silly sounding to boot. Daniel, aren’t you aware that most damage taken by a fighter is done outside of the ring/octagon etc…? I’m not even going to write, respond entertain your last point, its laughable.

Daniel, why don’t you just take a look at my post. I said, “Man, do I feel sorry for this guy.” See, I like Jens, I loved his fight with BJ Penn and his battle with Gomi but I don’t like your comments.
You cannot put an argument together that makes sense and each one of your points are an epic failure because Jens stinks as a fighter. Once again, he’s not terribly intelligent and you know this better than I do- look in the mirror!

I gave you numbers to look at so perhaps you could understand. I presented a logical argument for why Jens should walk. Instead, you suggest he should keep fighting and losing- not the smartest plan is it. Imagine now if Jens had gone 1-8 in his first professional fights, perhaps, he’d consider doing something else.

Not sure what you do but perhaps you should refrain from silly comments. BTW, I agree with your P4P list minus Aldo, see 80% of what you said is agreeable to me, don’t call me a meany either.
