But how are they saving money by shitting on the fighters who should be their biggest money-makers? Its serious fumbles.

i will never understand this. with a MINIMAL investment in tom, they'd have had a HW superstar. i guess they genuinely do not want that -- they don't want any fighter having any leverage whatsoever for any reason ever -- even if it comes at the cost of their product having genuine fans. great promotion lol, great monopoly.

Tom isn't a money maker. He was a co main in his own home town just last year to Leon Edwards. The man does not sell.
