Randy

“I find it a little humorous that he’s comparing $$ from a contract in 2005 and one in 2008″

I agree!

Lindland said that BoDog breached his contract and he was done with them. I must say that I find it a little humorous that he's comparing $$ from a contract in 2005 and one in 2008. I think it'd be more relevant to compare his new contract against the likes of what Franklin, Silva and Hendo are pulling in for their fights. “technically doesn’t he still have fights with Bodog?”

"Though Lindland would not divulge his new employer’s identity, multiple MMAWeekly sources have confirmed that Affliction – a popular clothing company – is a primary partner in the deal. Sources also indicated that Affliction’s partner in the new promotion is Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions." I agree with the earlier poster about when Lindland competed in the UFC. No one made any money of any sort at that time. And while Yushin Okami does have a very similar style, he's not nearly as opinionated and disruptive as Lindland has been. That combined with White's ego, its obvious why Lindland has not gone back to Zuffa. MMAWeekly is reporting the following about the new promotion Lindland signed with.

It says: "Though Lindland would not divulge his new employer’s identity, multiple MMAWeekly sources have confirmed that Affliction – a popular clothing company – is a primary partner in the deal.

It is not yet known under what name the new promotion will operate, but indications are that its first event will take place in June in Las Vegas." Would you really consider Afflication or Golden Boy Promotions (Oscar De La Hoya) nickel and dime operations? I know neither has done an MMA show, but both are pretty successful companies.

Talented at fighting and boring fans. I'm willing to bet whichever company it was, will be as sorry as Bodog was at their acquisition of The Law. No fans means no money, nomatter how good you are.

Firefox has a mind of it's own sometimes. To continue... I would think that is part of the reason the UFC wouldn’t sign him. Nobody gets UFC contracts unless you are 100% free from another org. sorry my screen refreshed for some reason. Firefox has a mind of it’s own sometimes.

I also had heard he even asked for a full release at one point. I'm not sure whether he got one, but several fights were let out of their contracts after Bodog changed their marketing strategy.
