Media Jon Jones has to fly Economy class

[ferrisjso]

Maybe he's just frugal

Not having to fly commercial is likely the best material advantage of wealth. If it's about being frugal there's lots of less painful ways to be frugal. Commercial sardine travel is the textbook "innovation" of capitalism that's made our lives worse. Middle class people once could afford their own rooms in the sky.

He's preparing for the recession and saving up for child support after he knocked some sense into his ex-fiancée.

Well he has to pay alimony now...

They aren't even on the plane! UFC needs to pay Dana and Conor so they can get first class!

 

[AldoStillGoat]

the fuck? Dana looks like a manlet here

 

[Clifford_Harris]

Obviously saving his money for the important things in life like high quality coke.

 

[Dude Incredible]

There's a joke here. No one has quite tapped into it yet. Close but no cigar. I can't quite put my finger on it. Though this probably the best one so far:

At least he's not driving to wherever he's going.

Jon Jones is arguably the greatest MMA fighter in the history of the universe. He’s headlined UFC card multiple times and is one of the sports biggest stars so seeing him have to fly coach hurts. I knew fighter pay was an issue but this hurts especially considering Jones had sponsorships with companies like Nike and Monster energy drink. Worst thing is they sat him beside a dog at the very end of the plane. Jones being the positive man that he is, still smiles for the camera.

He doesn't make NFL money like his Little Bro.

Doesn't mean Jon Jones, the individual subscribes to this idea.

Maybe it's a short flight and not worth the "material advantage".

Waiting for pics where Jones headbutting the airplane.

jon jones is just a humble guy

 

[Bork Neslar]

Give him your money if you're so worried about him

 

[Enigma87]

Guy hasn’t worked for years, what do you expect

 

[Ruthless Ryan]

when was his last fight/paycheck? I see him as a hooker and blow guy so even though he has made great cake doesnt mean he hasnt pissed it all away...

That's his dog lol. Also nothing wrong with coach, save money so he doesn't go broke trying to fly first class or private for every trip. Also as other has mentioned, he hasn't fought/work in like 3 years. Even with sponsors and saved money, money will be tight after that length of time.

The cost differential between economy and first class is significant. A large portion of the tickets purchased for first or business class are corporate funded. The cost for an individual is often difficult to justify for a what is ultimately a short duration.

Correct, I can see investing for a longer flight but this looks like it's domestic. Short haul there's no point

"Walton didn’t believe in change just for the sake of change, and, in fact, got his hair cut from the same barber for 19 years. The same was true of the vehicle he drove. A firm believer in driving an affordable vehicle, Walton drove his 1979 F-150 Custom 4×4 every day until his death in 1992."

He was never married + New Mexico doesn't have mandatory alimony. He will tho eventually have to pay child support depending on how long it drags out in court.
