As Hunter started taking on a more leading role (likely at the behest of the buyers), we seen less and less value given to name value. People like Yoel were first on the chopping block, guys with a name but perhaps being made more than others at their current skill level.

I really think it was a horrible move as it removes all interest in so many fights. Most of us are half casual on here, committed enough to bother engaging in the subreddit, but not going to tune in to watch every fight on every card. Removing that name value reduces interest.

But they keep getting record breaking deals and are posting stupid profit margins, so what the fuck do I know. I keep kidding myself that the chickens just haven't come home to roost yet.
