mma vs boxing proof that mma doesnt pay as good(reply to mma and not boxing)

Not true bud, the six figure contract is your guaranteed purses for the next 3 years.

And please show me where the fighters make an annual salary on top of purses, I've never heard that before so some sources would be nice.

Meh I was just discussing this with a fellow co worker but even if it's not tru the pay scale is only diffrent when you compare top level UFC Fighters and top level boxers. The pay scale for Journeymen is the same in both sports and 90% of all Mixed Martial Artists and Boxers are journeyman.

Anyone know what the fighters got paid on the Ortiz-Arnoutis bill the other night.just curious to know what guys like Ortiz and Kirkland are getting at this stage in their career.

Fans just want to see good fights. Who cares how they fight. they want to see blood and guts and as well as skill. Fans are sick of hearing about how corrupt the match making is in boxing. So they go to the next best thing that delivers...MMA. Slowly boxings rep gets worst and slowly more fans go away

yea some of these guys on here as so mma biased that they will go as far as to lie to make the ufc sound cleaner than it is. I wonder if the money some of the fighters are making is enough after they pay there trainer and roids?

Worst excuse used by MMA fans, when they are getting huge PPV buys and the gates are also big why would it matter how old the sport is?

The truth is MMA fighters for the most part will take what they can get, they don't mind getting ****d by the UFC because they are able to get some sort of celebrity with fighting on TV. I don't think all the MMA orgs are ripping fighters off though, Affliction is paying very well.

I co sign!

Yeah watching Fedor vs Couture was awesome.

Yeah watching Fedor vs Couture was awesome.

so what u think there the only great mma fighters out there to watch. how about floyd vs many different people and maybe calzahge, oh and why not people who wont fight williams, you named one fight that didnt happen due too the fact that fedor didnt want to accept the amount of money ufc offered him so he signed for more money rather than a bigger fight, oh and by the way im pretty sure brock lesner just beat couture so that wouldnt put couture on the top anymore, not to take anything away from him. bro i love both mma and boxing they have there good points to them but majority of the time mma has a better overall fight card, which is what fans want to see, why do you think people got over the whole thing of fedor fighting couture. But here in boxing forums you always see threads of people ducking someone else do you not. Do yourself a favor and go to mma threads you wont see many post of fighters ducking each other, maybee because theres is that many chances too, think about bro stop being biased and get real.

Here is a video that that tells both sides of the story.

The fighters also get a performace bonus on top of their contract.
