    In UFC you cant get more then 500 000$

    ANd 500 000$ get fighters like Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture.

    DANA WHITE would probably give TONEY like 100 000$ per fight.
    Who says he is relevant enough to get a fight with Klitschko?

      Toney always talks big then turns down offers when they come to him. He needs to realise its not 1994 and hes become irrelevant.

          HAHAHAHHHAHA......Toney looks out of shape, but why would he complain about the money in UFC?? its not boxing, Top UFC fighters don't even make 25% of what Top Boxers earn

            honestly though, Toney in UFC would be a joke. The guy's a great athlete, but it's MMA, let's not go down that path. We got enough of that in Japan. Why doesn't Dana go look for some MMA fighters instead...he bashes guys like Herschel Walker for fighting MMA, so why is Toney any different? Cuz he's a boxer? Please...glad he didn't accept. I mean I love how these other great athletes are taking a liking to the sport and wanting to try it, but c'mon. Bob Arum's not gonna sign Randy Couture to fight for a title shot...C'mon Dana, i like what you've done with the sport...but don't pull this stuff...
            Dana would do something like that just to bring in more fans who may watch boxing but not MMA.

                I don't think he realsied how **** the pay was. I was always thinking that Toney must make atleast 250k which is about avaerage for UFC.

                  Dana White the bi*ch is just using Toneys NAME as leverage to prop up ****ty UFC. He knows that an MMA fighter has MORE chance at beating Toney by submission or TKO via kicks/knees/elbows and therefore when an MMA fighter beats the legend 'Lights Out'... It looks as though UFC/MMA is superior.. when in reality it is not!

                      As out of shape and lazy as he is, he should be thrilled to even be able to make a check fighting in any league.
