You are generally on a rookie NFL deal, which is a bad agreement in comparison to everyone else. So when I fought (Mirko) Cro Cop I was obtaining 16 and 16 and he made around a million. When I fought Nogueira I was obtaining 22 and 22, he was obtaining tens of millions. When I fought Gonzaga I was finding 12 and 12, he was finding 80 and 80. You are on a sh*t contract and preventing monsters in the heavyweight division. But that’s how individuals TUF promotions go,” Schaub claimed.
“So I D’arced Mitrione, and I was the happiest I’ve ever been, but they didn’t give me the ‘Submission of the Night’ for whichever reason. Then I flew to Florida where my administration was, just to get together and teach. I requested Lex, ‘Where we are on the contract negotiations?’ He’s like, ‘I’m in it with Joe Silva, guy.’ He reported, ‘You know he’s just tough to deal with, I’m dealing with each you and Rory MacDonald at the very same time with him. It’s just tricky gentleman, he’s a complete prick.’ I explained, ‘How terrible?’ He explained, ‘You have no idea.’ I go, ‘Dude, contact him and really don’t let him know I’m listening.’ And my manager Lex — who however does a ton of my deals and he’s just one of my closest deals — I go, ‘Call him and really do not allow him know I’m on the line.’ He goes, ‘You confident you want to do that?’ I have always had thick skin and I know how business works, I can deal with whatsoever he claims. He claimed, ‘Alright,’ and identified as him,” Schaub mentioned.
“Dude, it will break your coronary heart the way they seem at you. Oh my God, dude. Which is when I was like, ‘Oh f*ck.’ It was the most vile — and he’s speaking about me and Rory MacDonald, and Rory’s one of the greatest to at any time do it — dude, the things said about Rory and myself, you’d be like, ‘Oh my God.’ Just the darkest, nastiest sh*t you have ever heard.
