Amanda Nunes hat erneut ihre Unzufriedenheit ueber die UFC geauessert, wi sie von der UFC promotet wird:
“There's a point where, sometimes, I'd rather wait a bit and get a fight that sells. It's all about pay-per-view, everything revolves around that and I don’t really get a part of that. I don’t really fit the profile of a UFC champion, but they have to do business with me, even though they're never going to promote me to a level like they did Ronda Rousey or Holly Holm. They want blondies, cute little girls who fight and take pictures. Let's face it, I have to face the girls who sell best.
They're not idiots, they know what they do. It's all about marketing. That's why it's the UFC, that's why they're doing it. They want to get someone to beat me for me to get out badly. I told them about it, I know that's what they want, someone that they can really promote and make money with.
I'm not going to be who I am if I try to cater to the market. It doesn’t make sense for me to change. You have to be who you are.
Every athlete depends on the money they make with their sport. Obviously, I want to make money. Having the belt is a dream come true, but ultimately, you’ve got to have something in your bank account to be able to do your thing. It’s a good thing, but without the necessary publicity and marketing, things like sponsorships are difficult to get.
The UFC only shows the good moments of some people and only the bad ones of others, which is the case with me, and every fight I have, it’s like this.”
Man sah es gut an dem Nunes vs Rousey Fight. 98% der Promotion ging um Ronda Rousey und nur 2% ueber Amanda Nunes. Kurzfristig gedacht war das okay, weil Rousey sellt und der Event hat gesellt. Langfristig war es aber scheisse, weil Rousey zerstoert wurde, und dennoch nun niemand Amanda Nunes kennt oder sich fuer sie interessiert von den casual Fans. Warum nicht? Weil sie nicht promotet wird. Da ist sie nicht alleine, es gibt zahlreiche UFC Champions, die nicht promotet werden.
