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

[RL_GMA]

I can not provide proof bc there is no real way to get the actual numbers that some shows are doing but do you agree that Boxing has many more shows internationally than mma and that there are many more professional boxers than mma fighters internationally? The star power in boxing is only second to soccer you go anywhere on the planet and say Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Klitschko and maybe Cotto and everyone knows those names.

Exactly...so you're assuming

Mayweather, Pacquaio and Oscar could put together their individual earnings last year and buy UFC......

While I like MMA and understand it's got a huge following I feel like it's always watching one really good guy vs one guys whos gonna get beat down. Kind of like the evolution of every bar brawler trying to get rich.

Boxing's elite have been boxing since they were 6 years old, have extensive amateur careers, Olympic medals and have worked thru the ranks to get their face on TV....

Half of you MMA fighters were selling Pot 5 years ago....

I am not knocking mma/ufc but it has been around for 17 years and is nowhere near as established a sport as boxing is. Boxing has so many shows around the world is so much more global that I feel it easily generates more money as a sport not for a particular company like ufc but as a sport.

MMA has a weekly show on ESPN but oh yeah it's nowhere near an established sport LOL!!!

Ugh you haven't seen the endless sold out PPV's that do half a million buys every month plus the crap load of big time sponsor's that are pouring money down the UFC's throat. Plus the The Ultimate Fighter series thats in it's 13th season, does strong ratings, and is like an endless ***ing commercial for the UFC. Yeah I'd say it's doing really ***ing well no matter what you think of the numbers reported.

The sport has been existence for 17 years I am not saying it is not doing well but ufc fan boys think it is like the biggest sport in the world and that it is a million times bigger than boxing when in reality it is not anywhere near ****ing Boxing's level.

I doubt they have Hundreds of millions of dollars in their bank accounts LOL the UFC is worth about as much as a top tier NFL franchise.

In some parts of the world it is, the United states, Great Britain, Japan, and parts of South America are good examples.
