Ubereem files lawsuit vs. Golden Glory. Claimed GG took 35% pre-tax income

What do people have against reading the terms and conditions before clicking agree?

Alistair has been involved with GG his whole career. I'm guessing they took advantage of him when he started becoming a big money fighter. I'm guessing he trusted them too much or there must have been some crafty loophole in the contract

MMA pain machine Alistair Overeem -- the guy who's set to fight Brock Lesnar next month -- claims he's been stabbed in the back by his management team ... and he almost paid the price in the ring.

Long story short -- Overeem filed a lawsuit against his Netherlands-based management team -- claiming they duped him into signing the worst MMA contract ever ... and then tried to book him into high profile fights when he wasn't healthy enough to perform.

According to the lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Overeem stupidly agreed to give his managers 35% of his pre-tax income in exchange for their services -- but the managers failed him miserably.

Overeem claims the managers have refused to pay him more than $151,000 in earnings -- including a bigtime bonus he was supposed to rake in when he signed with the UFC.

Overeem is suing for unspecified damages -- and he wants a court order to break his contract with the management team ASAP.

Overeem is scheduled to fight Lesnar on Dec. 30 -- a fight worth millions of dollars that he clearly doesn't want his managers to get their hands on

TMZ?

yep

Damn, they got the scoop on every MMA site it looks like.

TMZ is quick on the trigger with news. Whatever you think of their show and the whole paparazzi thing they are a very good source for news. They were the first to break the news on Michael Jackson being rushed to the hospital when he died

OMG I can't believe I'm about the say this but Dana was right holy fucking shit he wasn't lying I'm shocked

So was Reem just brain washed before or misinformed? Because he was talking very well about GG not too long ago.

He obviously just trusted them blindly and just signed what they told him to thinking they wouldn't fuck him over, now he knows the truth

watch the newest episode of the reem, he goes into it

I was wrong. Given the timeline of some of these revelations I don't think my wrongness was fully unjustified. Like OU said, Reem had seemed content for a quite a while with his career-long team.

makes you wonder how little Marloes, Sergei, Einemo, and Othereem are getting paid after GG and taxes.

Bas Boon was front and center of all the "m-1 is crooked talks"...atleast Fedor is a millionaire and we have never heard anything like this in regards to them.
