"Believe me, guys make money in this sport. The stuff that Nick Diaz says is crazy. ... There are guys that make lots of money, guys that make good money, and guys that are working their way up. Believe me, nobody wants to be paying guys boxing kind of money more than I do. From 2001-2006, we were almost $50 million in the hole. Over that time, not one fighter ever got paid late, no check bounced, no employee at Zuffa, ever. The Fertitta brothers funded this thing for that long. In 2006 we started turning a profit. From 2006-2011, I can't remember what the number is, but it's like 40-something millionaires. 40-something millionaires, 20-something multi, multimillionaires and the list goes on and on. That's from 2006-2011."
