A lot of them fail to realise that MMA is the sport not UFC. It actually makes me laugh when they just assume anyone ranked #1 in the UFC is automatically the top fighter in the world. For example Vadim Nemkov is the best 205 lb’er in the world IMO yet UFC fans will act like he’s a level below guys like Jan and Glover purely based on the fact they’re in the UFC and he’s not. Same thing applies to guys like Moraes, Amosov, Freire etc etc. UFC undoubtedly have the best depth, but like you mentioned other orgs like Bellator, ONE, PFL, Rizin etc aren’t that far behind.

Most of these guys aren’t even MMA fans they’re just UFC fans. I doubt many of these guys were even following the sport when Pride, Strikeforce, WEC etc were about along with UFC and the sport was actually booming with far more opportunities being created for fighters.

Man those pride fights were legendary for their pomp and the strike force fights were just the best quality ever

It seems like a lot of us watch both UFC and Boxing. At least lets all admit that Dana White is the biggest pile of garbage in all of professional combat sports. I am with the majority of people that say, "UFC fighters are severely underpaid." I want to see the data where all the money goes from PPV and one again live gates. When McGregor fights, we all know where the money goes, but on other headliners such as Ngannou, where is all the money going? Ngannou was pissed off that these fraud Paul brothers are making 10's of millions when legit fighters like him are struggling to get 1 million, yet the only one making serious money is White and the Zuffa's. I will always be partial to boxing, but UFC is 100x better in terms of actual matchmaking and activity of their top fighters. We wait years for the top guys to get into the ring vs each other and when its about to happen, something mysterious happens to delay the fights. Its frustrating being a boxing fan.

Its simple... the reason YouTubers, Floyd, Cashnello, AJ, and Manny make the money they do is not because of their skills... but their influence. the question is how they got that influence. Some got it through their boxing skills... like Cashnello, Manny. others got it for their out of ring antics... aka Floyd.

YouTubers built their brands through YouTube and to advertisers in the BUSINESS of boxing or MMA... what matters is eye balls. Fighters gain eyeballs through being undefeated... others get eyeballs brcause you cant wait to see them get beat or beat up... Floyd, Wilder, Broner.

Fact is... YouTubers can bring a bigger audience to boxing or MMA than a fighter trying to be the next great GOAT.

Micky Ward and that was 20 years ago.

You UFC stans are pathetic. You’re supporting the organisation over the fighters.

There’s a reason the biggest star in the history of your entire sport had to go boxing to get paid properly.

Even your second biggest star had to go to Vince McMahon to earn some real money.

I think you may want to check your figures again.
the last posted statistics on the average salary for a boxer was 2018. That average salary was $35,584 per year.

The last posted statistics on the average salary for a UFC fighter was 2020. That average salary was $147,965. So, since you were so feverish on defending the awful pay occurring in boxing maybe now you’ll change your tune. UFC fighters are paid more on average than boxers. In boxing you’re either a headliner making millions or fringe and dirt poor. There’s very little in between.

Do you not realise that Boxing is a SPORT and UFC is NOT A SPORT it’s an ORGANISATION. You can’t compare UFC to the entire sport you f***ing imbecile.

Compare the average salary between UFC and PBC. Two ORGANISATIONS. I think we all know who would be earning more.

Where are these figures even from? I can almost guarantee it’ll be some unreliable source that you found via Google.

You UFC stans are absolute crackpots man.

Just so you realize stooge I’ve been watching, studying, enjoying boxing for 38 years. To call me a “UFC Stan” is deflection at best. Yes MMA is the sport. I enjoy the sport and by far support their model as far longer sustaining than boxing in the long term. While you cheerlead who makes more money MMA has taken over in PPV buys over boxing because they put on the better shows. While you continue to cheerlead the corruption right on down the tubes MMA is on the rise. And since you wanted to call me out on UFC fair enough. MMA MEDIAN salary across the entire sport ranges from $44,680-$66,800 which is STILL more than boxing. Sources? Many, all you have to do is study the numbers but the sources are multiple. Just because YOU don’t like what they show doesn’t make them invalid. Feel free to challenge those numbers with facts and not how you feel because facts don’t care about your feelings.

Bullsh**. You’re definitely a newbie fanboy. Your lack of knowledge highlights that.

Where are your sources? You’re citing figures that have no reliability. Cite your sources or STFU.

You UFC r**ards are so f***ing special.

Since all you wish to do is personally attack, I’ll move along. So like others I’ve conversed with on here that seem to make things personal you too can move on down the road. Adults here are few and I’ll choose to conserve my brain power on an effort more worthy of my time. You have obviously demonstrated you lack the mental capacity to have an adult conversation.

You can’t cite any valid sources so you’re running away from the discussion.

Idiot…
