Television personality John Oliver recently did a WWE segment on his HBO show “Last Week Tonight,” where he covered how the company treats its talents. In a nutshell, he criticized the sports entertainment giant for how it managed the athlete roster, based on collected data and statements from former superstars like Bret “The Hitman” Hart and Jesse Ventura.
But according to welterweight contender Colby Covington, the UFC is still way worse when it comes to athlete treatment.
”You can’t even compare the two. I mean, WWE, they’re not making $10,000 pay checks, those guys are getting paid, man,” Covington told Submission Radio.
