Why is that??? i thought MMA was popular too BTW? im confused?

maybe because the sport of MMA has been around for like only 15 years??

The sport of Boxing has been around way before the invention of the television

This guy hasn't been banned yet? I sent him some red k to hopefully quicken the process.

the guys at the very top of mma dont make as much as the top guys in boxing. mayweather, pac etc. but there are plenty of mma fighters that have never held a belt and probably never will, that make a much better living than boxers at the same level. it's more to do with the way that fighters fight for and are paid by organisations rather than one off individually negotiated big shows. mma is big. but generally in mma the fighter is not bigger than the show, and can be replaced. the one particular fight.y have less negociating power to demand huge money, because the fans are interested in seeing a ufc show (for example). not just

i've been drinking. aplogies if i'm making no sense at all. i think i have a point. but i dont know if i'm being clear at all.

well in the ufc its because dana white keeps all the money for himself...they only get money from the sponsors....frank mir who main evented ufc 100 for the ufc heavy weight title and dana only paid him 45k

brock who is the biggest draw in the ufc only got paid 400k

dana white is a crook he has the biggest mma org in the world and he refuses to pay his fighters what their worth....sponsors make ufc fighters rich not dana

:afro:

How do you know how much they get paid ? Maybe the official numbers aren't the real ones, and they're hiding money for "other expenses" to avoid taxes etc. (I hope I made sense)

it's funny. some people see this as boxer versus mma guy.

i just see it as 2 low level mma guys competing.

one with a background in boxing, and the other with a background in not much at all.

It's facade pay. It's how Dana hides the real pay numbers from competiters.

Sure he pays the amount...plus under the table pay...plus PPV money if your headlinining...and you wrap all that up with sponsership money.

If you have to ask, you truly are an idiot. Even if it is a troll post.

mma ... sucks it takes no talent its just street fighting bunch of skinheads with tats in the ground licking eachothers sweat

lol @ "low level". "Former champ" is more like it, what does this say about the UFC. The fact that Lesnar is champ right now makes it even funnier.

Dude please stay out of the MMA section. You have nothing to contribute other than ignorance.

Then why don't you do it if it's so easy?

Really shut the **** up.

How about I generalize for second.

Since you are from compton, I'm guessing you live in public housing, collect welfare, shoot people and sell drugs.

Does that makes sense?

i'm a fan of the sport of mma. doesn't mean i buy in to every hyped up fighter in the ufc. fedor completely exposed syvia too. he was never the champ of mma. just the champ of an organisation, which made him out to be a great talent in order to sell tickets, while all the real heavyweight talent was elsewhere. he's still low level.

in answer to your question, it certainly doesn't say anything positive about the ufc. but just because we are fans of the sport, doesn't mean we all love they way that it is run, especially by the biggest organisation in mma.

I love how people still ride the "Mercer KO's sylvia so Boxing > MMA"


BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA It's like they have nothing else to use to try and prove that boxing > MMA...so ridiculous.

Well, Bojansky stopped Mercer so ya know what...Kickboxing>Boxing

Kimbo choked out Mercer so, streetfighting > Boxing...


feel the stupidity?

I'm a boxing fan first, but i gotta admit MMA is really just catching up and the prop is a few things, one is all these championships, they have interim champions when the actual champion is healthy and active, then the super champs and the diamond belts its so rediculous.


Second, there hasnt been a boxing card loaded from Top to Bottom since Don King ran boxing, as much of a snake he is no one can put a full card like Don could.

And third, if MMA its true when they say you have the best fighting the best, in boxing its always some issue so promoter garbage and it really had me tired. I'll always love boxing and im watching Marquez Mayweather over UFC 103 cuz my boxing love will never die but i cant deny boxing has lost a lil luster although there are some solid fights coming up like that Mosley Clottey

wow...mosley vs. clottey?...****, that'll be one tight ass fight

^:rofl: I think mainly because EVERYONE I mean EVERYONE is trying to get into it. At my school about 40 % of the guys think they are pro MMA fighters since they train everyday until you give them a good :boxing:.

That is a huge problem actually and something that annoys me with the boxing/mma rivalry, training in MMA is TOUGH, its not an easy task and you have to be top notch to handle training to fight for a small event. For the UFC? Forget it its like training for the super bowl

^:rofl: I think mainly because EVERYONE I mean EVERYONE is trying to get into it. At my school about 40 % of the guys think they are pro MMA fighters since they train everyday until you give them a good :boxing:.

that's why i love the gym i train at. Live environment and 80% of the time we're hitting each other so you either suck it up and stay or go. hahaha

It really is a myth that boxers get paid so much more than MMA fighters. Alot of the cream of the crop boxers run their own production companies (Floyd's " Mayweather Productions " , Antonio's " Tarver Entertainment ", Oscar's "GBP" ...) and so the production companies get a massive amount of the money cause they do alot of the legwork for the fights. The midlevel to low level fighters really are paid the same or as bad as MMA fighters do. Here is a good example,

Here are the official fighter salaries from last Saturday night’s March Badness boxing and MMA event in Pensacola, FL.

MMA Fighters
Bobby Lashley – $40,000
Roy Neslon – $30,000
Jeff Monson – $25,000
Jason Guida – $15,000
Din Thomas – $10,000
Dennis Hallman – $6,000
Gabe Lemley – $5,500
Danny Ruiz – $2,000
James Freeman – $500
John Mowry – $300
Boxing Fighters
Roy Jones Jr. – TBD (Two-thirds net event profits)
Omar Sheik – $50,000
BJ Flores – $12,500
Jose Luis Herrera – $12,500
Robert DaLuz – $1,800
Kelvin Price – $1,500
Kevin Howard – $1,500
Kieyon Bussey – $1,200
Eric Clinton – $800
Richmond Dalphone – $800

Other than Roy, the fight purses weren't all that hot. Big names make a killing, but lower level guys that aren't fighting title fights aren't getting Mayweather money. Here is an interesting article by a trainer on how boxer's salaries go.

^ Great post. People on this website tend to believe that these 8 figure paydays are the norm for boxers, when that couldn't be further from the truth. Only about 1% of professional boxers are making that kind of money, and the rest are getting comparable salaries to MMA fighters.


The UFC's pay scale can be misleading, because the fighters get win bonuses, as well as other incentives based on performance. This is extra motivation for the fighters to not just go out and do enough, but to go above and beyond.
