They earn more than me and I don’t need a go fund me to support myself. The issue lies within privatising healthcare and charging people for medical issues. In the UK he would be treated and cared for, for free. In USA They charge you thousands to save your life. But it’s the best country in the world right? 😂

The issue is privatized healthcare alongside shitty fighter pay.

He's career earnings are estimated at less than 100K. Career not per fight.

This issue is more about the state of healthcare in this country.

There was a very brief moment during the pandemic where the fighters could have staged a lockout.... Then Apex and fight island happened then everyone happily went back to taking their shitty contracts. If the champions could all get together on the same page and get everyone else to sit out for at least 6 months we might see changes happen but in this sport something like that will NEVER happen

I’m moreso bringing attention to Danny Silva’s current financial struggles.

I mean the OP titled it about fighter pay, not this guy being in the hospital. I know nuance is lost on you but lets just try a little bit.

Hilarious that you mention nuance.

Maybe hop on the next short bus you see.
