Fighter normally would be happy if u got journalist protest for fighters pay, but fighter asking the journalist to pay him for promoting himself, this is just something new to me lol. Anyways Paddy's last fight was a 100% rob , this hype train is getting so cringe now.....

[@stttttipa]

Ariel got him several times on his shows when Pimblett was literally just some fighter from the UK, and now he wants money? Oh man. Also, I am certain it wouldn't have been a problem if he didn't want to brown his nose in the asshole of uncle Dana, and if Ariel didn't point out that his manager is also a promoter for his previous fighting promotion, and in huge conflict of interest.

[@MachTuck]

Paddy getting his nose brown and Dana acting like a 8 year old kid, ..shessh

[@joes282828]

Lol at Dana talking about someone having a massive ego

[@AdubsMMA]

Good video. Just a wee bit late mate. Lol

Great job 👍

[@KtunaxaMTB]

Paddy thinks he’s going to be the next Conor McGregor but I think he’s overhyped

[@cityterrace8391]

Man, your videos are awesome. Thank you for being so well-spoken, goes great with fantastic editing.

[@TheMMAConnect]

Thank you for watching bro 🤝

[@matthewlueder2656]

How common is it to get paid for interviews? Never heard of this

[@mikaelsmith5094]

He shouldn't even answer to Paddy The Fraud Pimblett. C'mon.

[@mydogjesus]

Paddy finally got a taste of some real money and fame, and then he made an error in judgement and let his big persona take over. I suspect that his crew of people also egged that on a bit. I can forgive it as a fan, and even forgive the way he acted after the gordon fight, but I really wish he would try to reflect on both of those and say sorry. That would go a long way with a lot of us i think.

[@domoetker3967]

tell me that in my face

[@user-gj8qg8oz4l]

People can say what they want about Ariel he's the best at what he does and he is not afraid to ask what we're all thinking.

[@datdude15]

If im getting paid for an interview im going there not the place im not getting paid....im not sure what the issue is

[@JunJunisKing]

The issue is he lied consistently throughout all of this, lol

[@Mythicman-hz6eh]

Settle it like real men, Put them in the Octagon😂😂😂

[@DoubleMKGaming]

It would be better for the UFC, if they found someone more believeable than Dana White..

[@headbreakable]

He only trash ariel because dana is interview with him.

[@robertcochran2124]

I think that paddle is a hypocrite cause he said to Dana that he gets on his podcast and tells you that you should pay more like that is anything to do with him and he should not worry about what you are doing cause it is not his business and then he turns around and tells him that he should pay for the people who come on his podcast like that is any of his business 🤣😭

Paddy getting above his station, delusions of grandeur... he'll never be a ufc champ end of

Paddy had amnesia re his 1st interview w/ Ariel, every thinking man recognizes Paddy's hypocrisy~

[@meridianmile8033]

I think they're both pretentious. Either guy could brush the other off.

[@larryr257]

Yes Paddy, referring to himself as The Man 😂. What is he, 14 years old? Sounds like a case of compensation! Also calling Ariel a rodent is using a racist trope. Maybe he doesn't realise it or its unconscious but he should be careful about that

[@weshouser821]

Man I think we should just start leaving race out of everything

[@John...44...]

Yeh it was nothing to do with race. Its a scouse thing I think. Always calls people rats. No racism here

Stopped watching at the 32nd time you mispronounced Pimblett. The B isn’t silent,guy.

[@chriswatt859]

Of course Ariel makes money of you tube and the views depend on the fighters he has on his show

[@aznbspikey]

He doesn’t own the youtube channel or monetization rights. This is no different than some restaurant cashier ringing up 40 guests or 400 guests.

Ariel is a weasel

[@MisterOmega-yv3lb]

So Ariel gave him a stage three years before he even became well known and now he repays him in semi racist remarks

[@rogerspencer9004]

As far as the "paid vs not paid" argument I can see both sides. However, Ariel saying HE doesn't get paid for these interviews is, in my opinion, a huge lie. Number one, I don't buy for a second that his KZbin channel isn't monetized so for him to say he doesn't get paid from that channel is total crap. Secondly, he says that he has a contract and gets paid the same whether he interviews or not and that is also, I believe, a lie. I'm sure that a big part of why he has the contract that he does is at least in part BECAUSE of fighters being willing to come on his shows and do back stage interviews. How many clicks did he get for the Francis Ngannou interview and ge's trying to say that that stuff wasn't monetized?? C'mon son. Like my old grandpappy used to say, that dog don't hunt. He's either lying or ge's the stupidest businessman ever.

[@rogerspencer9004]

He's

[@joharjahid6666]

💯

[@megamanxhunter]

The interview with Francis ngannou wasn't on his channel, but on the MMAFighting channel. The MMA Hour belongs to them,not Ariel.

[@SpecialAgentDaleCooper-FBI]

Of course it’s monetized, but he doesn’t own it. It’s owned by mmadfighting

[@weshouser821]

Ariel said in the video that he is on a contract. So, what that means is whoever he is contractually obligated to is getting paid from youtube. That must have been in their contract agreement since Ariel said he didn't get paid from youtube views. I don't know what was in his contract, but it could be that he is required to have a specific number of views to keep going forward on his contract and he gets paid a salary or a lump sum. I think it is strange that he wouldn't get a percentage though honestly. I also find it odd that his views have no effect on his pay, I'm sure that he renews his contract every so often based on his view count and if he had a lot of views, he would request more pay. So, what he is saying is probably technically true but possibly misleading at the same time. The views matter but he gets paid by his contractor and his worth to the contractor and the contractor might be making money from revenue sources other than youtube that Ariel influences with his show. So, the youtube views may only be a small portion of the total revenue that is being generated by the show. It all really depends on how the money flows and what is in his contract.

[@spencerearl9964]

ariel contradicts himself constantly. He's mad that promoters make money off fighters, but doesnt mention anything about the fact that fighters make money off promoters as well. The problem that Paddy is adressing is that Ariel profits off of fighters, and then doesnt pay the fighters in return. people really need more comprehension of situations before they start spouting off hate for no reason. only person that should have ever been in the hot seat is ariel.

[@Seanself363]

Except that Ariel DOESN'T profit off fighters. Like he said, he has a contract, he's a journalist. He doesn't get paid by the guest. In addition he is a well established name in MMA journalism and fighters can and should use his show to help promote themselves. It's a win for both. Fighter gets exposure and ariels show needs guests. Paddy seems to think he should be getting paid for all his interviews lol. What? People really need comprehension of it, before they write comments on KZbin.

[@spencerearl9964]

@@Seanself363 I really hope you’re just being ignorant and intentionally leaving out details after that little shot about comprehension. I think you’re forgetting that paddy had a paid interview the same day that Ariel was trying to get him to come on for free. Paddy texted him to see if he wanted to hangout while he was in NYC because they previously had good rapport. Ariel framing this as a “oh boo-hoo me” Is absurd and so is this thought that just because Ariel is on contract so he can demand to have anyone he wants on for free. Then nonstop bash promoters that are actually feeding these fighters. I don’t see fighters complain nearly as much as this guy and they put their bodies on the line non-stop so that he can have his nice little contract.

[@devynivienuolika7148]

Paddy the snake

[@rolandrat6493]

Typical Scouse socialist 😂

[@DZNTZ]

I think Paddy has a point. He’s a draw, and he should be paid for drawing. Ariel kinda talked his way around the fact that he does in fact work for a company that profits from his podcasts/vids. So BT and Ariel get paid for clicks… Why shouldn’t Paddy get paid for creating those clicks? Pro mma is a job, Paddy’s a pro and is trying to bank money while he’s young and healthy. You don’t ask a professional for their time for free, when you stand to profit from his time. That’s just facts. I’m sure if there was a charity event and it was all for a good cause, Paddy would lend his time. But for a for-profit show? Pay the man.

[@waveyjunior]

Thats not how journalism works as Ariel has already explained. If the fighter doesn’t want to come on the show he doesn’t have to. Should every football player get payed for his post game interview as well? For every interaction they have with any media? Because technically they are „making money of it“. People tend to forget that the Athletes make a lot more from them indirectly.

[@John...44...]

Paddy wanted to get on his show to boost his own exposure. Aerial has built his channel and followers, not paddy. Channel owner profits, the guest gets exposure. That's how all these podcasts work

[@sohell1992]

Does media get paid for promoting the events by writing and talking about it from the promoters? No, they get paid by the audience who watch these shows, same as the fighters and the promoters. It's a mutually beneficial relationship. That's the reason sports people talk to media in the first place.

[@bingingbinging8597]

So should paddy pay Ariel for getting him hype when he was a nobody? Dude stfu

[@ZaKattack52]

Don’t make Ariel out to be a hero. He was a parasite from the start

[@reyalPRON]

Ariel shows that he is lying when he is saying he get no money from youtube and clicks. his voice changes pitch so fast and so high its like listening to a small childs denial of eating chocolate, with a brown smear around their mouth and on their hands.

[@weshouser821]

I'm sure it is a factor, however he probably technically isn't lying about it he doesn't get paid directly by them but I'm sure he gets paid by them indirectly.
