Fans are fuming after the ‘Project Rock’ deal
Just like the MMA pundits and personalities, the fans are not far from thrashing the new shoe deal done by the UFC and The Rock. The new deal seems very ‘one-sided’ as the deal won’t benefit the fighters. The fans seemed so upset just like the fighters after knowing about the deal.
A fan wrote, “Just a reminder the rock sucks… his shoe deal with the ufc is negatively impacting the fighters forced to advertise them.” Another fan wrote, “Huge fan of @therock as a person….but that #UFCshoedeal is pretty wack. I know my opinion doesn’t matter. It’s still wack.” A fan named @SugeW wrote, “I get it’s not your fault or your business doin it to us, but show us the love you think you are. Get in our corner and support us.
@TheRock
Between the Rock and a hard place: the shoe deal hurting UFC fighters.”
It seems there is a revolt on the way regarding this endorsement. Who knows if there is going to be a union among the fighters to fight against this deal? It can affect the promotion hugely.
