Josh Barnett questions Misfits' future after Page's pay claims

Josh Barnett has raised concerns about Misfits' financial strategy following Michael 'Venom' Page's announcement of a lucrative three-fight deal with the promotion. Page claims the contract will earn him over seven figures per fight, surpassing his total earnings from six bouts in the UFC. Barnett expressed skepticism on social media, suggesting that Page's claims could be misleading and warning that such spending could deplete Misfits' resources. He cited previous failed promotions as cautionary examples, emphasizing that fighters could be adversely affected if the organization runs out of capital. Barnett’s comments come amidst growing speculation about the sustainability of the Misfits MMA model.
