Gleison Tibau: We lose 30 percent of our purse when we fight in Brazil

Damn that's a whole lot.

Not to mention he pay's taxes in the U.S, pay's his gym, managers, etc. I can see why he wouldn't want to fight in Brazil anymore.

It made me happy to read this and see that Gleison has some good morals within himself.I agree with everything he said,i would be the same way,if the money was going to some good for the people,i would be ok with it as well.This is what happens when countries get big and old,the corruption inside is overwhelming.

Brazil will lose all it's events they keep this up, no big name fights will go there except rich Brazilian fighters, which are the champs and maybe a couple others, that's pathetic on that governments part.
