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

LOL what Rashad earned is what boxing bums like David Diaz earn!

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.

Dana White keeps most of the money. UFC fighters are underpaid, they should be making Boxing money. I think K1 fighters get paid more.

I don't think the difference is that big. Those purses are likely net while boxers purses are gross. So you'll have to deduct 30% to the manager and 20% to the trainer.

Na, that's gross too. What you see there, they have share with their manager and trainer. Dana White makes more money than the fighters and that's wrong. UFC fighters are not broke, but they're underpaid.

Ok. Had it been net it would have been easier to understand though. Since it's gross (according to you), I'd say Dana White is ripping people off. That won't continue for sure as here's bound to come other players into such a lucrative market. Economics will dictate that.

how much did brock lesnar get paid when his fight got 1.6million ppv buys

I always felt that the money MMA fighters get, that boxing promtoers should get some big names in there.

I mean get a Boxing event with Mayweather/Pac and offer some big MMA names 250k to be on the undercard.

You would get a lot of PPV's from two fan bases.

Not to mention that UFC marketing and promotional ideas are better than boxing.

Dana white is the commision, organisation etc the guy makes more money than any boxing promoter, In short Dana white is like the owner of WWE.

True, Roy Jones tried that on his PPV I think the one with Omar Sheika or was it the one with Jeff Lacy? I forgot, but he put two MMA fights as undercards and I think 2 boxing matches. First time I have ever seen that.
