    Why are UFC fighters not as greedy as fighters in boxing?

    On a side note:

    Dana White: "All the money goes to the main event, which means all the attention goes to the main event. It's the only thing they care about in boxing is the main event. We actually build the whole card, and the money is spread throughout the whole card..."

    Because most UFC fighters don't know their worth. They are used to working for the UFC when it should actually be the other way around.

    The fact that these Boxing writers are infatuated with Dana White and love the way UFC is conducted is pathetic.

      because they work for the organisation and basically take what they are given, i agree their cards do go deeper than boxing cards, a lot deeper, just my opinion

        They are desperate for money. The ones with a name/fanbase act just like popular boxers. Masvidal and Jones are both at odds with UFC over money. McGregor has fought with them too over money in the past. Cejudo just retired. Demetrious Johnson left the UFC for ONE over being underpaid.

          If boxing had one promoter with a stranglehold over the sport boxers would complaining just like the UFC guys.

          They can't even use their own sponsers

            Because ufc fighters aren’t used to that kind of big money

            It like eating a cheap steak after you’re used to the good grass-fed meat

              I don't watch MMA on a regular basis, but I do enjoy watching the preliims and replays.

              And it appears its fans are happy with the way it is. UFC just had its 5th card since the start of the pandemic. So they must be doing okay.

                UFC has a higher entertainment value than boxing

                UFC makes people give a **** about the undercards

                In boxing even the co-main of a big fight is crap

                  UFC fighters get less then 18% of the Revenue. Top Rank fighters get 65% of the Revenue. The question should be why do UFC fighters like to get robbed.

                    It's hard to make fights in boxing because fighters are too greedy
                    even during these pandemic times.
                    Dana White already had his fifth, we have yet to see one in boxing.
