RE: It's Official ~ Tito vs Chuck 3 ~ GoldenBoy Promotions !
I hope those guys aren't doing this because they need the money. MMA is a young man's game, and these guys aren't young men anymore. Chuck had Tito's number when they were in their primes. Both fighters are in their 40's now and Tito is about 5 years younger than Chuck. We'll see if that gives him an advantage.
Tito been more active as well. His last fight was a little over a year ago as apposed to Chuck's last fight which was in 2010. I have no problem with their age as both are from the same era and fighting each other and not some up and come. What is troubling to me is Tito's body is all banged up and Chuck suffered a series of KO's before retiring.
Chuck was forced into retirement in 2010 and given a " job " by Dana. The owners then sold UFC to WME who cut back where they could to save on money. Chuck's " job " was one of the first things to go. So while he may not need the money, I doubt he can find anything that will pay him as well as UFC did without fighting.
They both made a lot of money in their younger years. I hope they invested well and didn't squander it, but the odds are against it.
They certainly did make allot of money but at the same time they were reaching the tail ends of their careers with the UFC when the real big money started being paid to the top fighters. Something tells me Tito was a little more careful with his money then Chuck was but that's just a gut feeling.
Tito made $300,000 for his last fight against Chael Sonnen which was last year.
