...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
The Las Vegas Culinary Workers Union, Local 226, sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission this week to request an investigation into whether Zuffa's business practices constitute a monopoly for the sport of MMA. Among the things they are contesting is the following:
"'Automatic renewal' contract provisions such as the 'champion’s clause,' which extends the contract of an athlete who becomes a champion. Such clauses effectively prevent some athletes who sign contracts with Zuffa from becoming free agents and negotiating for higher pay."
