Report: GSP wants $50 million to fight Anderson Silva

[F.A.T.A.L]

During the latest episode of The MMA Beat, Mike Straka dropped some news via "somebody close to St. Pierre" that the French-Canadian wants to get paid a significant amount of cash to battle the 185-pound king.

"I was told by somebody very close to Georges that Georges today makes close to $8 million a fight. So to fight Anderson Silva he's going to ask for $50 million."

I'm no mathematician nor an economist but I do know for a fact that that's a sh-t ton of money. Now how did that number come to be?

"Because he said that Georges has 10 fights left in his career at $8 million a fight. But he believes that Anderson could actually hurt him, could physically hurt him and end his career. So to take that chance he wants $50 million and that's exactly the number he's going to go to Dana White with."

That's some compellingly cold logic. "I'll take the fight but because he might kill my career, I want to be paid as though I never took the fight and went about my career as it was" makes sense here.

[F.A.T.A.L]

i agree with you all 50 mil is a little too steep.

 

[BROWN GUERRERO]

Lol at GSP trying to get Mayweather type money.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

I don't believe that "sources close to GSP non sense".
Plus I seriously doubt he makes 8 million per fight.
You can tally up the entire cards payroll and it won't touch 8 million.

GSP's camp already shot this rumor down and Mike Straka is a known douchebag retard

 

[ELPOLLITO]

gsp went in asking for a million bajillion

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

The real question is, how much would Silva want to fight Jon Jones....

The Silva vs GSP fight has never interested me, Silva is a huge MW and is already at a huge advantage as it is in his own weight class. Why should he be calling out a welterweight? Especially with Jon Jones in the picture? To me it seems absolutely ridiculous that he isn't frothing at the mouth over a fight with Jones. That would further immortalize his legacy as the greatest MMA fighter ever and probably be the greatest fight ever in the UFC, on some Ali Frazier type shit.

If the Jones vs Silva fight never happens I think I might be done with mma, it has turned into a fucking circus and has become rather stale anymore.
