Only money would make Kayla Harrison give up her chance at legacy
Kayla recently went on an interview with MMAMania.com talking about her legacy and what she plans on doing next. “Obviously, I have these next two fights in front of me. These are the most important things. I gotta go out there and I have to dominate and instill my will,” Harrison said in the interview. “I’ve also come to the realization that if PFL and I are going to negotiate, and if they’re unable to bring in new talent or whatever, they’re going to have to offer me life-changing money in order for me to be willing to give up my chance at a legacy. That’s kind of where I’m at mentally.”
“That’s kind of where I’m at mentally. I know the organization is negotiating with my manager now. That’s stuff that I let them deal with. I have a job to do. I’m going to go out there and kick ass and chew bubble gum. The rest will work itself out. I have no doubt if I do everything right, the rest will work itself out.” What do you believe would be the right decision for an elite fighter like Kayla?
