Dana White: UFC Is Now Bigger Than Boxing & WWE Combined

[Barry Halls]

When his fighters get paid ANYWHERE NEAR the amount of some, even mid level fighters than Dana can talk. Right now even his top stars barely make 6 figures per fight.

his topstars actually make several millions per fight. They have a % in the ppv-revenue.

GSP made 400k in his last fight.... Enough with the nonsense.

I simply don't have an opinion on that. I think it's reasonable to assume boxing is bigger worldwide.


i think you overestimate the activity in pro-boxing.

But lets just say, I't looks like UFC have a bigger interest among casualfans willing to pay 50+ dollars for a card in the UFC.
Their businessmodel surely is nothing to scoff at.

Over-estimate it how so? I give you facts yet all you say is hollow conjecture based on your opinion. It's obvious you have no more argument left on the matter and have been owned if you can't refute my claim without acting childish

[Barry Halls]

looooool

stopped reading at 600 boxingcards per day. Are you serious?

Go look at boxrec which should be a pretty decent indication on how wrong you are.

LMAO! OWNED!

I think Zab Judah made more than that when he fights unheard of 20 loss bums

you don't give facts, you spew random guesswork. 600 cards per day? Really?

Stop wasting my time. I've met my fair share of your kind in the mma-community when i try to tell them boxing is not dead.

What do you think about this?

In terms of mainstream support, maybe you could make that argument for the overall sense in the United States....but I don't care for it. I've tried on several occasions to give it a try, and each and every time I've come out almost just as disinterested as I was going in. I have friends who like it, and if we're watching a boxing card, they'll always say something like, 'oh the ufc/mma is so much better, so much more action, the fight would've been over by now.' I don't even know what to make of the "fight would've been over by now" statements lol. I don't get it, I really don't, it's just not that good to me....it's grown men hugging on the canvas, I don't ****in care....I know I sound "ignorant" but that's just the way I see it.

400k + bonus + % in ppv-revenue.

Equals millions. Not Pacquiao money, but 1million+, and potentially more if the ppv is a big seller.

Him and Brock makes about 1-3 million per fight excluding sponsors.

What's funny is that even if you cut my estimate by half which is still realistic, boxing still dominates UFC by HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS $$$.


LMAO! You have been OWNED...

GSP made 400k guaranteed, overall (sponsors, PPV) he walked away with 1 million at least. It's not a lot compared to boxing but don't forget they used to make 20 grand(main event) back in the day.
