            what kind of % do you think the UFC gets? 25% sounds fair to me. They take care of everything for the fight, including ads, the venue, everything....and they always do a great job.

              The ufc is worse then any promoter. They pay there top fighters **** compared to boxers and some ufc ppv are selling much more then boxings.

                  But they pay a more even amount across the board to their fighters. Its not like a Del a Hoya fight, where he'll get 35 mil and some guy on the undercard gets 15k. They'll pay someone 800k, then someone else 600k, and so on. Much better spread out. Trust me, a friend of mine works for the UFC.

                    Golden Boy Promotions makes AMAZING contracts compared to King, and Arum. King ive heard took up to 50% on Tyson fights, and cut into Tyson's purse. There is a reason so many fighters go to Golden Boy Promotions, even Mayweather said Golden Boy works out good deals..so i dont know why all you people in this thread are complaining.

                      is this a veiled attempt to excuse margarito from fighting mosley?
