Fighters getting paid too much ruined boxing Dana White is doing the right thing.

[sentax]

Boxing went downhill when fighters started getting the mega pay days and ego's getting out of control.

Dana is actually doing a great fan service by keeping UFC fighters pays in check and keeping the power with the promoter. The fans want to see a fight? Dana makes it happen.

Fans in boxing want to see a fight? They'll see it when the fighters are past their primes or if they ever see it at all.

Sadly, this is true.

How much of the money does he get?

Where does all the money go if the fighters aren't getting paid much?

A lot easier to do when you monopolize the sport. He barely has any competition.

Dana’s also taken a lot of that money and reinvested into the sport. He has academies and training facilities all over the world. Any UFC fighter can go to Vegas and use the training facilities, and have their whole training camp there, free of charge. I think that’s pretty sweet.

Actually, boxing started going downhill when champions could start cherry picking their own challengers, and there are four champions per weight class. Boxers made insane amounts of money 100 years ago, it didn’t water down the sport.

Dempsey-Tunney had like 120k people there, didn't it?

It's actually kind of cool people didn't have that many entertainment options back then. All glued to the radio or trying to get in with another 100k people to look at a glimpse of a fight really far away.

50 MILLION PEOPLE SAW THAT FIGHT.... crazy. US POP WAS 119 MILLION... double crazy...

if MMA had the muhammad ali act, UFC would have never became a thing.

They are having a court case right now & apparently those 20% to the fighters, 80% to the UFC rumors are true.

The UFC gots like a thousand employees & sh^t so them mostly. Its a worldwide operation that put on shows all over. They cover all the medical expenses before & after fights. They do all the production themselves. And a bunch of other sh^t I'm probably not recalling. Its a different model then boxing or most other sports from my knowledge of most other sports.
