Holly Holm: Women Need to Be Paid

[JayPettryMMA]

Ahead of her bantamweight title shot against Amanda Nunes at UFC 239, Holly Holm talks about trying to repeat history, the all-time great combat sport athlete debate and women's pay in the fight game.

Title a little clickbaity. She said the pay should be based on entertainment and acknowledged that wmma is a little behind because it started later. I already know half of the people aren't gonna watch the video and just start banging away on the keyboard.

Edit: like the guy below me.

Holly you get paid more than 50% of the guys what are you whining about?

See...you don't get paid based off what's "fair" or by gender or by accomplishments. You get paid based off of your marketability to an unforgiving fan base. That's it.

Holly...you've done well for yourself. The UFC has given you an opportunity of a lifetime, don't lose fans with this nonsense.
