Why is there so much more money in Boxing than all other fighting sports?

[pistol whip]

This just proves everything we are talking about. If mma/ufc is so big then why the **** do boxers make like 40 times as much as them.

Because the UFC is an orginization that essentially holds a monopoly on the sport. They set the prices! If Bob Arum had no compatition he would be doint the exact same thing.

And it will stay that way, MMA is not intrested in following the boxing buissness model. You wanna fight in the UFC you are gonna fight who they say for the Ammount of money they wanna give you. The end!

That makes Dana White happy but what about the fighters?

Do a poll of all the MMA fighters and I bet you 0% of them wouldn't prefer the boxing pay...

And you think it's gonna stay that way? You have Fedor avatar. What's gonna happen when the GSPs and Brock Lesnars of the world decide they don't want to be treated like ****** anymore just like Fedor? Monopolies don't work and they aren't even legal, take a history class and find out why.

Well of course the top tier fighters would want to make 10-20 million duh but the B and C UFC fighters essentially make what most B and C boxers make.

Ugh and tell me what other company has the capital and viewership to Pay them millions. Fedor is an anomoly he got lucky and has an excellent promoter but when compared to the next highest payed fighter (Brock Lesner) there is a giant drop off in how much money the UFC pays out.

But another thing you havent taken into consideration is the dozens upon dozen of sponsers each fighter has. that income doesn't get reported so who knows how much the UFC fighters are making.

They're just cashing in on the fad.

See that? Easily dismissed.

Because of Ali

My uncle has a Boxing gym in Australia and he says there are so many Thai and Filipino fighters traveling over to Australia to start Boxing and he says they started in Kick Boxing and Muay Thai but left that because there is just so much more money and opportunity in Boxing. I was just wondering why is there so much more money in Boxing than all these other fighting sports?

Because in boxing the boxers tend to get the most of the money unlike other sports like UFC where White makes all the money or in the K1 where managers just rip off their fighters.

Dismissable fads have weekly dedicated shows on ESPN every week???

Bowling has dedicated shows on Sunday on ESPN. ESPN will cover anything that will draw ratings. MMA is not an established sport in most nations and is frowned upon by most. It has a long way to go to be considered a legit sport. In boxing, most people consider it a sport but MMA most people consider it a fight. Not many people look at MMA as a sport. It kind of is like WWF in a way.
