The services he uses for podcasts and the ufc pay him large sums of money over time. So he might get paid 200k for his commentary work at the UFC. So he makes a million easy from the UFC, just not at one time but over the course of a year. He doesn't get 1 huge check, just multiple decent sized checks. When it comes to Spotify and these other companies he gets checks for, it's the same logic. He doesn't get paid 1 million per episode, he might get paid a couple hundred grand per episode. When he got the 100 million dollar deal that's 100 million dollars over the course of several years and they don't just sent it all out. It's given to him incrementally.

Rogan has about $200,000,000 in the "bank". Likely in high interest yielding accounts that he doesn't touch and just lives off the interest. He needed all the money up front to open the mother ship.

I've been waiting for this podcast my whole life

[@alexandregerrits8808]

18 minutes in. My god this guy is funny! I don't usually have the patience for long podcast but I'm gonna finish this one for sure.

[@brennythebutcher]

Why is it so hard for Joe to understand the longstanding issue with ADCC underpaying athletes? Keeps talking about how they don't turn a profit . . . bro it's the royal family of Abu Dhabi. Money is nothing to them and yet they still only pay $10k for first place.

[@gordonfrimann246]

Why the hell would they give money to some grapllers for no reason. Prize money have to come from profits or sponsors thats how promotions work.

[@codymiller9355]

​@gordonfrimann246 lol sheiks used to bet on matches and would give away 50k like nothing at adcc in the past. Ask mark kerr

[@thefitgm335]

​@@gordonfrimann246For no reason? The last few ADCCs have been epic, because of the competitors.

[@HkFinn83]

Also, it depends what you mean by ‘profit’. Trillionaires don’t mean the same thing as the rest of the world. Middle Eastern emirates and dictators are sports washing for political reasons obviously, it’s of absolutely massive value to them. Rogan seems to have a child like view that this nice trillionaire is doing the world a favor with nothing in it for himself.

Craig is the man that BJJ needed to raise the bar 👊

[@theskorpiqn3789]

Craig is the greatest thing to ever come to JiuJitsu. He brings that relaxed Australian Larrikinism with good dad vibes 😆

Craig Jones is an American treasure, and he’s not even American 😂😂😂

[@lufc76]

Most engaging JRE I have watched in ages

[@apc9714]

Craig is sooo funny, he should do an instructional on his jokes

[@jeremyzentveld5672]

The institutional exists, it's called growing up middle/lower class in Australia.

Which Joe needs to buy immediately. Dude has zero ability to pick up on humour

Laughed so hard, funniest JRE for a minute.

1:04:33 confirming sunlight is the best to kill germs. Our former dojo was a roof top under tropical sunlight, people were worried about dust and germs, but zero skin infections reported during our outdoor years. Moved in close location this year, got my first skin issue which took me out for 2 weeks.

[@dirtbagfromanotherdirtbag]

The superfight against Gabbie Garcia is such an insane announcement to drop during this.

[@dropsy7639]

Dude that fight predates the entire concept of the CJI by a year or more. It's been postponed and canceled several times.

[@Kumomethegame]

Getting an ad for John danaher's bjj fanatics instructional while Joe and Craig talk about him is surreal.

[@dogeatgiraffandvv]

Damn, rogans such a company man. He clearly disapproves of Craig making a point with adcc. Fighter pay should be the majority of a high level promotions income. Ufc also needs some competition like this...

[@IndyFreeman-nh7zk]

This guys way funnier than any of the actual comedians Joe's had on

[@joesullivan4540]

Have never felt the urge to comment ever on any KZbin video, but this was worth the effort. The questioning by Joe and the new approach by Craig. I’ve never been so impressed by both parties. The best internet experience in a long time, if not ever.

[@dabunka]

I love when Joe gives spotlight to an up and coming young comedian!

[@ModeratelyAmused]

What Joe isn't getting is that "production costs" includes paying all the staff. It doesn't make sense to need to make a profit to pay the athletes more money when they are literally the most important part of the whole production. I.E. the fighters wages should also be the first part determined of the production cost.

[@xitaris5981]

No pro sporting event ever has made that their business model. They pay based on what kind of numbers the athletes can draw in

[@ModeratelyAmused]

@@xitaris5981 did you watch the video before commenting? they were talking about a non profit. pro sports are for profit that requires investors that expect a return on their investment.

[@mrborat2493]

I'd also like to know how much money the executives are making.

[@NCSurf888]

1:36 and I’m already hitting pause to say how fucking funny Craig is, as we all know, but it’s always such a joy to listen to him chat… thanks again Joe

"dont take yourself seriously but take what u do seriously"; joe actually dropping knowledge

Never seen Craig compete but watch every interview cause of how hilarious he is

[@jameselse7613]

you should watch him

[@PlanktonGrass]

Joe being a total buzzkill with the tournament

[@Dough709]

I'm pretty sure he sponsors the adcc and he sponsored gordon ryan at one point. Thats what makes craig not giving a fuck even funnier.

[@cryptocaesar8972]

He brought Craig on to make his event successful

[@readytoroll4505]

Craig is a legend. Can't thank him enough for all he's doing for the sport

[@ravenmischief8006]

These two guys vibe well with each other. Great episode. I hope Joe has Craig on for one of the MMA fight show episodes sometime.

Nah. That's Gordon Ryan. Craig will always be a cool Morty.

[@boogalo781]

Is it me or is Joe being kind of a downer about this thing?

[@stolenidentity8270]

100%, Joe is pissed Craig’s making a stand against the athletes being under payed because he sponsors ADCC and Gordon Ryan, he basically closed his ears to the idea that the athletes should be payed more than production seeing as they’re what draws in attention in the first place yet drummers get payed more than athletes who win 1st place, the royal family of Abu Dhabi run the show money isn’t an issue

[@jerseyshorerealtor]

ADCC is the biggest event in jiu jitsu and Craig Jones is ruining it lol he is friends with all the best grapplers he has to grill him

[@slee2695]

He literally invited him on his show

[@cryptocaesar8972]

Guy Joe chose to have Craig on, to give him eyes because he wants it to be successful, he just didn’t like starting beef with Abu Dhabi, he felt Craig could have done the same thing just on a different date with no beef and had the same effect.

[@boogalo781]

@slee2695 yeah and then he was a fag about. "Oh but the date, and feelings might be hurt" just pay the mfs and they won't leave the organization. ADCC could always announce that they're gonna pay a million dollars to a couple winners if they want to retain the athletes

[@mjerzey]

joe: so whos sponsoring your tournament? craig jones: i brought a million dollars in cash

[@Frazful]

Never clicked a link so fast. Craig is the man!

The best part about CJI is Craig will likely do the podcast circuit. Plenty more CJ content to come.
