The reality is boxing has become a successful business for the fighters and money rules everything. He talked about the UFC having great cards and that is because the slave contracts the fighters receive. BJ Penn had a book where he talked about making 30,000 for his fight with Sean Sherk and how he was still in debt and he was UFC Champion. He stated yeah Dana is my friend but my fighting is a business and he said he does not see any money and he told Dana he was going to fight in K1 and Dana flipped out on him saying no one will ever know who you are you are done with the UFC and he said K1 was offering 5 times what the UFC was offering. The UFC will suffer the same fate as boxing and Rampage Jackson has talked about how bull**** it is that he only made 80,000 for one of his fights and how the fighters are not seeing any of the money. Boxing will never fade away if you look at where boxing was about 7 or 8 years ago it is in a million times better and not to beat a dead drum but the richest fight in the history of boxing will happen when Mayweather vs. Pacquiao meet May 2011.
