    Kennedy's back-tracking statement was pretty pathetic...

    His official statement in full via Kennedy's official Facebook.com page:
    "I recently made comments regarding fighter pay. The intent of these statements was to highlight that professional fighters incur significant expense associated with their preparations to fight and that fighter compensation is still not on par with other major sports. While I am fortunate to have various revenue streams associated with my business interests, most fighters do not have that luxury. When you spend training camps with great guys with amazing talents and you see them barely making ends meet, while simultaneously seeing athletes in other sports with far less character and a far smaller work ethic making exponentially more, you can get frustrated. Unfortunately, I made statements that alluded to how the UFC in particular pays its athletes. This was particularly offensive as Zuffa has taken better care of me than any other organization, even giving me a bonus for being amusing on Twitter. My choice of words was poor, not properly informed, and did not match my intent. Additionally, my comments were taken out of context. I can tell you that I have been fighting longer than most people and I remember all too well the days when there was no regulation or standard for an MMA promotion. I fought many times in Mexico where the rules were negligible, there were no physicals, and being paid was a luxury we didn’t expect. Our sport was shunned and was considered "human cockfighting". Today, we are on Fox. We have doctors and insurance. We make more money than the average American. And we get these things by playing a sport we love. The only reason this is possible is because of Zuffa. They have legitimized the sport and taken better care of the athletes than any other organization, and the trend is only improving, with athletes making three times what they made on average five years ago. My comments were hurtful and inappropriate. I accept full responsibility for the statements and apologize to the UFC, Dana White, Lorenzo Fertita, & Joe Silva as well as anyone I might have offended with my comments. Fighting for the UFC is an honor and a privilege. I look forward to putting this situation behind me and focusing on my upcoming fight with Roger Gracie."

    I liked your plays but since I already had them all, there wasn't much for.me to say. Actually I had gonzaga by sub but then added a play on Herman right.before fight started...double loser on that fight. But an unbelievable night altogether

    lol don't even know what that is

    and to the other dude-- yeah, the under in that fight was the best bet. i didn't see the fight but saw that it ended within seconds and part of me felt if herman was gonna lose, it was gonna be right away. i felt the fight wouldn't make it out of the first round but now feel kinda dumb that i didn't make a play on it... was keepin it simple, i get.

    parke by decision, craig by decision, and munoz by decision were too easy. i had a great night. wish i could have afforded to bet really big like i used to, but nowadays when i have a great night like this, i hardly notice it due to low winnings.

    no, dude, i can't. i have to support myself and my parents. they're too old and foreign to make a living on their own. i'm barely making it month to month on the rent and food. we've been eating too much chicken and potatos lol... seriously, if it weren't for my parents, i likely would have hung myself.

    Gabe, I started out grinding 40+ hours a week to make an average of $10 a card, and I worked my way up to some pretty serious profit margins.

    You'll work your way out of your slump, don't worry about it.

    what do you think retail joints pay??? lol i've applied and haven't been hired, but if i did get hired, the check wouldn't be enough to cover rent and bills, so having enough to be able to save half of it is too far fetched

    gabe i wouldnt post that personal stuff here. Remember you posted about suicide? Then a few months later someone tried to use that againt you and brought that old shit up. I think it was Sac.

    SBR is full of animals with no respect. Sac is a piece of shit. I've never once talked bad to that guy but he personally attacked for no reason. I guarantee he never would say shit in person. Two faced snake. At least if I dont like you, I dont pretend to be your friend then bash you for no reason out of the blue.

    When someone is serious and talks about suicide it's probably not a god idea to use that for troll bait.

    I would argue it the other way. If he's scraping by in LA, then move to somewhere with a lower cost of living and thrive. I mean, shit, with $1k you can OWN a house in detroit.
