Fitch and his people were upset over Dana's approach, Dana was upset over a cumulative problem (in his opinion) with AKA. The video game was just the straw that broke the camels back, as the saying goes. gunslinger,

The US automakers tried to sell us overpriced gas guzzlers to cover the 30 per person per hour extra that they pay in labor over Japanese manufacturers, that plan was a bad one and now its caught up to them. But that's all for another forum, not here. I agree with you that I don't see the need for the lifetime contract, but by the same token, most of the fighters have already signed it and how likely is it that 20 years from now a 50 year old Jon Fitch is going to have an opportunity to be in any video game? The fighters don't "need better representation" they need to represent themselves better. They sign the contracts, if they don't like them, don't sign them, its that simple. Look at how the "better representation" for NHL players worked out for them, the PA didn't take the contract offered to them early in negotiations, and a year later they ended up taking a deal that was worse for the players and better for the owners (than the original offer) just to get back to playing hockey.
