Valuetainment - “I’ll Buy Your $3.5M House” - Arman Tsarukyan TORCHES Ilia Topuria Ducking Him

00:00:00.000 Do you see that as a common pattern?

00:00:01.560 Like, you know, the faces of the fighting game

00:00:05.140 typically have a little bit of conflict with the top of UFC.

00:00:08.020 Yeah, because everybody wants to make more money.

00:00:11.460 So they hear, like, how much the NBA players,

00:00:15.000 how much the football players are making,

00:00:16.840 and UFC fighters want to make a lot of money too.

00:00:21.020 And then they started, like, to do that thing.

00:00:23.900 Jon Jones, not just he wants big money.

00:00:28.220 for the White House. 0.96

00:00:31.460 He wants Islam. 1.00

00:00:32.660 He asks the big money. 1.00

00:00:34.820 Everybody asking for big money.

00:00:37.760 That's why probably they argue.

00:00:40.380 So you think it's the money part.

00:00:41.780 Well, let me ask you.

00:00:42.400 Yeah, 100% money.

00:00:43.540 Let's say I'm negotiating on behalf of Dana.

00:00:45.920 For the next two minutes, I work for Dana.

00:00:48.040 For me, they send me a contract.

00:00:49.800 I sign and give it back.

00:00:50.840 I don't even watch how much they...

00:00:52.240 That's exactly what...

00:00:53.180 If they were to say,

00:00:57.600 okay, something happened to Justin.

00:00:59.980 I want you to be on the White House card,

00:01:01.740 but we're not paying you nothing.

00:01:02.840 Would you take the fight?

00:01:04.560 100%.

00:01:04.920 So let me get this straight.

00:01:06.340 I mean, this is very important

00:01:07.340 because we can save UFC some money right now.

00:01:09.200 Yeah.

00:01:10.040 If they called you from UFC right now

00:01:12.380 and they said take the fight against Ilya 4-0,

00:01:14.880 you take it, don't pay me nothing.

00:01:15.940 I got a watch in my contract to fight for the title.

00:01:19.200 I don't know how much I'm getting paid.

00:01:21.560 Because last time before the hooker fight,

00:01:24.740 they gave me contract.

00:01:25.760 I said, okay, I'll sign it because I want to be a normal guy in UFC

00:01:31.200 because I don't have too much tools.

00:01:32.880 They give me contract, I sign.

00:01:34.460 It was a good money, and I just signed it.

00:01:37.240 I didn't say, oh, add me like 200 more because I want to more money.

00:01:40.800 I said, okay, I want to fight for the title.

00:01:43.120 They give me Hooker, I beat him, and then I go to fight for the title.

00:01:46.380 I beat Hooker, and then wrestling on the RAF.

00:01:52.600 You headbutt it, and that's what Daniel didn't like.

00:01:55.260 He doesn't, you know, there's certain things he wants.

00:01:58.700 Do you have a relationship with Conor?

00:02:01.620 No.

00:02:02.920 Have you guys ever met?

00:02:04.840 Yeah, I fought on the same card as Conor.

00:02:11.920 Conor with Dana is good.

00:02:13.420 Habib is good.

00:02:14.280 Not like all fighters, but a lot of fighters are good.

00:02:18.460 Only maybe Jon Jones.

00:02:20.700 Who else?

00:02:21.880 And now Ronda.

00:02:25.260 meaning not good with UFC.

00:02:27.380 Yeah.

00:02:27.760 Yeah, but Conor was a little bit difficult at times.

00:02:29.980 You know, Conor, you know, he gave him a little bit of a hard time

00:02:32.240 with, you know, throwing that thing through the glass in the bus.

00:02:36.160 But it's good for the UFC.

00:02:38.260 Yes.

00:02:39.160 You think they don't like it?

00:02:41.100 They like it.

00:02:42.960 So are you thinking about throwing something through that window?

00:02:45.100 You're like, let me go grab the chair right now.

00:02:47.780 Yeah, so the drama, the sport, why this sport is, like, getting big

00:02:53.960 because of drama not because of fighting like conor habib diaz you know the trash talk everything

00:03:02.520 not just fighting what was going on before the fight the boss thing it was like it went viral

00:03:09.540 too it was everywhere yeah because of that that that fight was the most biggest fight in the 0.95

00:03:17.700 in the uvc if it wasn't that conflict before that okay conor habib yeah they talk shit in the press 0.65

00:03:25.100 and then fight it's it's gone yeah i saw what you said once i thought it was so funny 0.57

00:03:29.960 you said to to poria correct me if i'm wrong here i think you said i'll buy your house if you fight

00:03:36.080 me did you say something like that i'll buy your three and a half million dollar house if you fight

00:03:39.660 me yeah um so he was selling his house right and he didn't have a fight and i said yeah i'll buy

00:03:47.680 his house and uh and uh i mean this is just trolling at its best i'll buy your house if

00:03:54.000 you agree to fight me next ilia tiporia has put his three and a half million dollar home for sale

00:03:58.240 and my dad called me and i heard you're buying the house in spain i said yeah when he said when

00:04:03.840 we're going to vacation your dad said that yeah but who i'm gonna call and uh he's he's gonna say

00:04:09.760 yes yeah did he did he respond back to you or no no no go a little bit down on the comment section

00:04:15.760 arriving in Madrid to buy Ilya's

00:04:19.720 house

00:04:20.080 people are funny

00:04:27.720 with you

00:04:28.300 that's interesting

00:04:32.100 so how much

00:04:33.700 of

00:04:35.360 match

00:04:37.460 because right now some people would say

00:04:39.500 the UFC

00:04:40.160 they've had some good fights like I was at this last

00:04:43.600 one no big names it was actually very good

00:04:45.580 card like if you were at the fight it was phenomenal probably the best heavyweight fight

00:04:50.040 that took place that went the distance you know the last fight where you know he is i don't know

00:04:56.780 if he was acl was torn or his knee you know and he kept getting kick kick it's like this is over

00:05:02.060 with and then all of a sudden boom and everybody was blown away by the fight the way it ended but

00:05:06.700 a big card they haven't had that for a minute yeah but it's hard people like expecting like

00:05:14.380 every title fight

00:05:15.760 like it's gonna be

00:05:16.600 drama

00:05:17.000 this

00:05:17.460 that

00:05:17.800 like

00:05:18.620 and like

00:05:20.040 they didn't sell

00:05:20.800 a lot of like

00:05:21.740 a pay-per-view

00:05:22.300 or what's it called

00:05:23.020 I don't know

00:05:23.680 pay-per-view

00:05:24.080 yeah

00:05:24.500 but

00:05:26.440 for example

00:05:28.060 like

00:05:28.420 all bigger star

00:05:29.400 booked now

00:05:30.160 like Hamza

00:05:31.000 big fight

00:05:32.240 coming up

00:05:32.840 Ilia

00:05:33.780 Pereira

00:05:34.800 on the White House

00:05:35.760 and

00:05:36.800 UFC doesn't have

00:05:39.680 so much stars

00:05:40.760 to put on the

00:05:42.020 on the

00:05:42.620 on the every card

00:05:43.840 that's why

00:05:44.320 and the one fight

00:05:47.840 pulled out too

00:05:48.680 the common event

00:05:49.820 for the title

00:05:50.420 one versus

00:05:51.180 I don't know who

00:05:53.020 that's why

00:05:56.060 they didn't sell it

00:05:56.980 a lot of tickets

00:05:58.540 but you see

00:06:01.040 you never know

00:06:01.640 you see the names

00:06:02.440 they don't have big names

00:06:03.480 and you come

00:06:04.120 watch and like

00:06:04.940 the best fight ever

00:06:05.840 right

00:06:06.340 like you said

00:06:07.020 the heavyweight fight

00:06:09.300 so

00:06:10.780 that's why

00:06:11.840 that's why every every event they they they have something special matchmakers works works good so

00:06:20.400 you said you're a fan so if you're a fan and you everywhere you go people are talking to you they

00:06:25.680 want to speak to you about ufc or different things if you could make three fights happen

00:06:30.100 and you're a matchmaker who do you create what fights would you want to see in the ufc in the

00:06:35.720 UFC, Jones versus Pereira.

00:06:38.840 Jones-Pereira.

00:06:40.380 Armand versus Gage.

00:06:41.720 Oh, I remember Armand versus Ilya.

00:06:44.320 Okay.

00:06:45.400 And the next one, Hamza Chema versus Sean Strickland.

00:06:50.540 Strickland.

00:06:51.540 Those three fights.

00:06:52.500 Yeah.

00:06:53.000 Strickland has a fight, that.

00:06:54.480 Yeah.

00:06:54.740 Versus Hamza.

00:06:55.580 Yeah.

00:06:56.200 And then Pereira, John Jones, it's a big fight.

00:06:59.260 They wanted to do that fight on the White House, I guess.

00:07:02.540 i think john asked for like 30 million or i don't know what the number was 15 million and they didn't

00:07:07.840 want to do it i read somewhere maybe john asked for a bigger number and they said no we're not

00:07:13.140 going to pay it so it went to went a different direction yeah and you see a lot of fights you

00:07:17.980 can do you can do a lot of fights uh 145 it's uh jones wanted over 15 million yeah that's what

00:07:24.660 Jones wanted $15 million for the bout,

00:07:29.440 and it failed due to a reported gap of $5 million.

00:07:32.040 Now, keep in mind, this is, you know, ESPN reporting.

00:07:34.600 Yeah, but I think UFC could pay him $15 million.

00:07:37.800 $15 million?

00:07:38.620 $15 million.

00:07:39.740 Yeah, easy.

00:07:41.060 For White House, he deserved $15 million.

00:07:44.020 And I think they could pay him.

00:07:45.820 It's something like a different issue.

00:07:49.760 It's my opinion.

00:07:51.100 All right, what's your opinion?

00:07:52.580 Percella.

00:07:53.160 Percella.

00:07:54.000 Okay, so no chance at all.

00:07:55.300 No chance, yeah.

00:07:57.120 I think, like, one of the biggest event ever,

00:08:01.400 and you think they're not going to pay $15 million?

00:08:04.700 For sure they paid.

00:08:06.660 Yeah.

00:08:07.740 They got a lot of money.

00:08:09.620 They got a lot of money.

00:08:10.460 I mean, if you...

00:08:11.320 And he has not a lot of fights left,

00:08:13.480 so maybe one, two fights, John Jones.

00:08:16.140 And he's a legend.

00:08:17.540 And, like, Conor, he made, like, $15, $20 million, right, for the fights.

00:08:22.660 Can you pull up, what are Conor's highest, you know...

00:08:26.680 No, on the boxing, he made a lot.

00:08:28.540 On the boxing, he made $100 million.

00:08:29.800 In UFC, he made, I think, for his pay-per-view, something like 30 mil, 20 mil, 20-something mil.

00:08:35.740 So, not the UFC, but on the including bonuses, $5 to $6 million, UFC, $100 million.

00:08:40.840 Are you sure it's only $5 to $6 million, the most he made?

00:08:43.300 Can you ask the same question on ChatGBT, Rob?

00:08:46.400 No, but you never know.

00:08:48.000 Maybe they pay him extra.

00:08:50.940 Conversation side.

00:08:51.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:08:52.660 but but to extra bonuses uc always send me extra bonuses yeah a couple days ago they sent me

00:08:59.340 42k i don't know for what maybe for my for my social media are you serious yeah yeah

00:09:07.920 yeah they did they ever explain where it's coming from or no i didn't ask you just took the money

00:09:13.020 maybe maybe my manager gonna say hey where's my person yeah i was i was not saying so eddie

00:09:19.080 alvarez 6.8 million interesting that eddie's what did he get paid on khabib no way it was a three

00:09:25.380 million dollar flat fight was habib there is no way it was only three million mcgregor claimed it

00:09:31.420 was worth around 50 million total with pay-per-view dustin they got five million a piece what what is

00:09:38.340 the highest paid a ufc fighter got paid what is the highest you're never gonna know because they

00:09:45.240 They used to pay the note on the books.

00:09:51.440 I heard they pay so much money when it was for Titus.

00:09:56.060 Yeah.

00:09:58.920 Is UFC a publicly traded company now where they have to report?

00:10:03.020 Okay, zoom in on that one a little bit.

00:10:05.660 Where's the biggest payday total earnings?

00:10:07.600 But is that earnings to the fighter or is that earnings to UFC?

00:10:10.600 They say that that's all three fights combined.

00:10:13.820 No, but I heard he makes around 20 million, the Conor.

00:10:16.980 A fight.

00:10:17.520 Yeah, from the Habib's fight, he made like 20 or 30 million.

00:10:20.960 20 or 30 million?

00:10:22.060 It's good money, no?

00:10:22.680 Yeah, but if you look at the most, there's a, I think,

00:10:25.700 four out of the five highest pay-per-view tickets ever sold,

00:10:31.500 four out of the five Conors in those fights.

00:10:33.220 If you go to the highest UFC pay-per-view tickets sold,

00:10:41.360 highest ufc pay-per-view tickets sold i want to know top five fights i think four out of five

00:10:49.800 connor's in all of them okay zoom in there you go four out of actually five out of five is connor

00:10:56.760 isn't that amazing 2.4 million damn 1.8 million poirier three 1.6 million poirier two

00:11:06.480 1.6 million, Diaz, 2.

00:11:09.120 1.3 million, Diaz, 1.

00:11:12.100 Can I imagine 2.4 on how much is the perfect?

00:11:16.100 100, 150?

00:11:17.580 70 bucks.

00:11:18.700 I don't know what it is.

00:11:19.520 I want to say it's probably 70 to 100 bucks.

00:11:21.860 So it's 200.

00:11:23.360 Ergo Arcarso, 1 million?

00:11:24.580 Yeah. 1.00

00:11:25.280 Damn. 1.00

00:11:26.460 80 bucks. 1.00

00:11:27.700 80 bucks times 2.4 million.

00:11:30.760 That's $200 million right there.

00:11:33.220 Yeah, probably he makes around 30 million.

00:11:34.880 on those fights?

00:11:36.780 Habib maybe 10, 15, and he make probably about 30 mil.

00:11:40.740 How much do you think it's fighting?

00:11:41.900 How much do you think it's his personality and ability to promote?

00:11:46.440 Fighting is 80%, 70%, and 30% is promote.

00:11:51.300 You think that's what it is?

00:11:52.280 Yeah.

00:11:52.840 Okay, so you put 70 of it on a skill set,

00:11:55.040 30 of it on the promoting set.

00:11:56.140 Yeah, if you're bad, you're not going to be in the title.

00:11:59.760 Interesting, 70, 30.

00:12:00.880 That makes sense.

00:12:01.820 Yeah, you've got to be a good fighter to fight for the title.

00:12:04.040 Yeah, that's a very good point.

00:12:05.780 Unless if you're not Paddy Pimlet. 0.86

00:12:08.980 Paddy Pimlet, 10% fighting, 90% trash talk.

00:12:15.360 So you think 10%?

00:12:16.480 Paddy's a pretty good fighter.

00:12:17.940 Did you watch his last fight?

00:12:19.420 Yeah, that was not good.

00:12:20.640 But the previous one.

00:12:21.920 Versus who?

00:12:23.400 Well, I've been to quite a few. 0.98

00:12:25.020 Yeah, he beat like trash canes.

00:12:28.700 They just give him so easy fights that even my dad can beat him.

00:12:34.460 Yeah, really.

00:12:35.620 He beat like a Tony Ferguson who has nine losing streak.

00:12:40.660 He beat the, what's the?

00:12:46.340 Just put up his last fights, Rob.

00:12:48.240 Go down a little bit.

00:12:49.000 It'll show his fights.

00:12:50.160 Michael Chandler.

00:12:52.620 Michael Chandler.

00:12:53.700 Michael Chandler, 10 fights in UFC, nine loses.

00:12:57.080 Is that?

00:12:57.560 That's not Michael Chandler's record.

00:12:58.300 Approximately, approximately.

00:12:59.140 So click on Chandler's record?

00:13:00.460 No, King Green, King Green.

00:13:02.200 Check it out, King Green.

00:13:03.100 Go on King Green, right?

00:13:04.500 King Green, brother.

00:13:05.940 Check his last 15 or 10 fights in UFC.

00:13:11.100 Okay, last 10 fights.

00:13:13.420 Go down.

00:13:14.260 3-3.

00:13:16.360 Like five loses, five wins.

00:13:18.560 Yeah.

00:13:19.300 Go to Chandler.

00:13:21.160 The thing with Chandler is he's one of the most –

00:13:26.480 Chandler's first round may be the most exciting round in the first –

00:13:31.800 If you can make it past the first round, but you're going to have a lot of pain.

00:13:36.980 Last one, two, three, four, five.

00:13:39.120 Last six fights, five loses.

00:13:41.840 Armand, respectfully, he almost beat Charles.

00:13:44.880 He almost beat Justin.

00:13:46.720 I almost was a UFC champion.

00:13:54.400 These were pretty good fights that he had.

00:13:57.320 I'm telling you.

00:13:57.880 And if you look at the two rounds, three rounds, two rounds, three rounds,

00:14:01.420 five rounds with Charles, yeah, he's a –

00:14:07.880 Last six fights, five loses.

00:14:10.460 That's crazy.

00:14:11.560 He's a pretty fun guy to watch.

00:14:14.800 Yeah.

00:14:15.100 He's a pretty fun guy to watch.

00:14:15.900 Like a fan, yeah.

00:14:17.100 First round, it's good.

00:14:19.220 His fight versus Gage, Topuri, or Porrier was good.

00:14:23.240 I mean, for fans, it's good to watch.

00:14:24.920 But like a fighter, it's hard.

00:14:29.280 You know, this whole thing with Vag Timmon and PPD podcast started with a phone, me and Mario.

00:14:32.440 That's it.

00:14:33.180 And it grew today to, you know, 15 million subscribers almost and 164 full-time employees.

00:14:38.360 And that relationship where you watching us and supporting us wouldn't happen without you.

00:14:42.460 But did you know 51% of you that watch the content are not subscribed to the channel?

00:14:47.140 And it would mean the world to us if you could press that subscribe button and notification.

00:14:51.600 why it allows us to grow, hire more,

00:14:54.520 do bigger interviews, have a bigger team,

00:14:56.860 and deliver a better product to you.

00:14:58.140 So if you haven't yet, if you don't mind,

00:15:00.580 press that subscribe button.
