If UFC is taking over boxing, why do they paid so little compared to boxers?

UFC has it waaaaaay better. How can you even argue against how amazing it is to have the best face the best? Kinda insane to do that.

Imagine all the best WWs and JWWs facing each other. All the match ups that will never happen, well in UFC they do.

You mean the majority of fights get canceled because of injury and they can never put together the big superfights despite having both fighters. Also years of pretending non-UFC fighters don't exist because they refuse to co-promote. Fantastic!

I like how you posted 2013 instead of 2014 PPV numbers...what you're doing here...I can see it.

In boxing you can get $750,000 for fighting sparring partners. That's why boxing rocks doe. $700,000 for fighting Salsa. Thanks Haymon!

Two more fights before the main event:

Anderson Silva vs Nick Diaz

The best fighting the best, indeed.

Are you being sarcastic? lol

It's a good fight, but it's closer to a money fight rather than something meaningful.

Check out this link that shows the top earners of 2014 in the UFC. Link: http://mma-manifesto.com/ufc-fighter...0-earners.html

Santa Cruz gets paid more fighting bums. Why is their salary so low compared to boxers? If their PPVs are doing so well, shouldn't their salary should be higher? Thoughts?

The UFC PPV's are not doing as well as UFC officials claim. UFC will never over take boxing in popularity.

Only UFC. No competition. Monopoly

I loved when I read the fighters have to pay Dana White $10,000 to sell ad space on their own ass (Not kidding). That really shows the chincy used car salesman your dealing with that's running the company.

That rolling around on the ground, where as stated elsewhere trying to enter the ****saurus erectus half pike or whatever, does nothing for me at all.

If they would just remove the ground game I'd watch it. All that bear hugging and rolling around is not entertaining. It infuriates me when a guy gets armbar'd and is forced to tap out like a minute into the fight. Three punches get thrown, they dry hump each other, then a guy taps out and it's over. And I'm supposed to pay money for this, AS IF.

Are you trolling? I was reading Sherdog and all of the MMA fans said the main event was literally a 5 round sparring match.

Nobody ever gets their money's worth from a UFC card, its all hugging and kissing.

its not $10,000 its $100,000. The fighters sponsor must decide whether they want to pay $100,000 to the UFC on top of sponsoring their fighter.

UFC's greed is why the sponsors have all dried up. None of these low class t-shirt companies can afford to pay over $100,000.
