KEY TAKEAWAYS

Professional fighting is a business, and should always be kept as such. When those with bigger followings set up fights, they have the right to enter matches where those audiences are matched.
Social media is a tool that the world uses unilaterally to gain an audience and to make money. This can lead to stunning success, but it can also breed jealousy and resentment from others.
The key to embracing money is not to think of it as the end result. More money does not necessarily bring happiness, but the accumulation of money does allow us the freedom to be able to follow the paths we find interesting and appealing.
Professional sport and training should be treated like a job, because that's what it is. Work is not something we should ever treat as a hobby. We have a small window of time in the professional world. We should dedicate ourselves completely to it.
