DJ responds to Punk’s payday
“A huge spit in the face of all the champs,” Johnson stated of Punk’s pay. “At the end of the day, it’s more of an appeal contest that gets you the cash in blended martial arts than real ability.
“A gentleman who is 0-1 in blended martial arts, making $500,000 [per fight],” he continued. “Obviously, he made that cash since of his battling history. I’m not gon na lie to you guys, this put a chip on my shoulder, and a bad taste in my mouth since I was doing combined martial arts my whole entire life and the most I ever made in the UFC resembled $380,000 plus $40,000. It’s all public record.”
“These guys belong in the amateur league,” Johnson stated while rewatching Punk vs. Mike Jackson. “They have not developed their abilities enough yet in combined martial arts to be on a platform like this. Every as soon as in a while, you have these battles where you provide individuals a chance to do something, and this is what you get. This belongs in an amateur-level battle [league]
“But I wager CM Punk beats him in WWE fumbling,” he concluded.
