If boxers were paid like this we'd have some 'great' undercards too...

The entire lineup of fighters was paid as a group $1.1mil which included the bonuses for winning...sounds kinda measly.

Lulz, UFGAY fighters are cheap.

After a fighter starts earning x amount of money; why would they accept less?

DiBella called 250K a lowball offer for Caballero to fight Gamboa. Main Event fighters and promoters have to stop being so ****ing greedy.

You mean to tell me Mayweather and Mosley or Pacquiao and Clottey couldn't give a mil from their upside for a good cofeature?

them guys cant make it big in boxing , thats why they settle in mma!

I kind of think the same, then I wake up and think they should be grateful for fighting on the undercard of such big fighters.

Look at things this way, when people do an apprenticeship they don't earn as much as the master of the trade. They work from the bottom up.

im no mathematician (dont even know if i spelled it right) but if the entire ppv card costed the ufc 1.1mil, that means the 40mil (estimated) that pac/floyd would get could pay for like 4-5 YEARS of ufc ppv cards....each!

I would rather have it like boxing than UFC, UFC guys are getting paid alright but they are paying for a decent job with their health long term.

The pay structure in boxing is more equitable in that everyone gets paids at the top end, in UFC is the the ownership reaping the huge rewards.

[runerx1100]

plz, mmgay isnt on boxing class, period

[Forza]

Sad part is thats a lot for MMA fighters, usually they get paid under 100k to win. Boxers are superior athletes that's why they get paid 100x better.

[SkillspayBills]

I would like to know how much money goes into a UFC PPV event and a boxing one. To see how much the fighters are getting a cut of. Also I do like getting a bonus for winning that's motivation.
