Comments Thread For: Dana White Erupts at Claims of Underpaying Fighters, Hits Back at McGregor

[pepzz]

It's sad for the current MMA fighters with that low pay but in reality I dont care they make more money than I make an a year. Hopefully this is a lesson for the younger generation who will either pick boxing or mma to train in order to go pro in the future. If your reading go boxing there is a better possible pay incentive.

Are we going to get NFL and NBA news, too? On this boxing website?

Or at least put MMA in the MMA section. It's like dead in there while plenty of posters talk about MMA news in the boxing section.

This has been going on since the beginning. Tito Ortiz, Shamrock, Couture, the list goes on and on of people complaining about the money. $20mil in the pot. UFC takes 19 and the fighters split the rest. We have boxers here with similar records to "UFC stars" and get a lot more. With the exception of McGregor.

The net worth isnt updated so could be from 2014 but even if you count it Jones fights once or twice a year, 2 fights equals to 5 mil each so my statement is still correct. Plus a simple google search can show you Jones said this already he makes 5 mil+ a fight. Youre missing the point where i said superstar mma fighters are getting screwed but the myth has to stop that superstar fighters are making pennies when 98% of boxers arent making what Jones is making. Boxers have a higher ceiling in pay but its such a common misconception boxers all make bank.

Here is a list from 2020.

$10 million.

Where are you getting your information? Seems made up.

That business model is what built UFC as the biggest combat sports promotional company in the world.

Them taking 95% of the pot, as you suggested, goes into marketing future events, putting on better cards, building their social media platforms, advertising etc.

If this is true, then Dana White have the balls of Masdival and Joe Jones tightly grab.

Masvidal sure Jones, not really, he can walk away and in one shot make the UFC LHW division 2nd tier if he joins a different Org. I think he is angling for a bigger payday since he is bulking up planning a move to the HW division. (Guy i walking around at 240 atm).

You do realize you are making everyone’s point right?

This is their ENTIRE NET WORTH.......

That means with career earnings, businesses, movies everything and most of these fighters are RETIRED after decade long careers!

The richest MMA fighter EVER.....

Is the one who got KOed by a BOXER!!!!!

Matter of fact COMBINE THE WHOLE ENTIRE TOP 20 NET WORTH AND I BELIEVE I CAN NAME 3 BOXERS WHO ARE WORTH MORE.....

Manny, Canelo and Floyd.....

That’s sad as hell Baby Boy....,

Tito was fighting in the 90s and he has the same dough as most boxing champs get now in 2-3 fights!!!

Did you just call me baby boy?

And I’m not trying to make a point. I’m merely introducing a fact or two to the thread.
