Just gave him props
One of the best posts I’ve seen or read here in a while
Keeping it real
But PBC and Dazn throwing money like you throw candy on Halloween
Like I said before : boxers overpaid and mma fighter underpaid
Simple , non toxic and self efficient

Yeah i normally don't agree with guys being overpaid. But its literally killing the sport now

Why take real fights when they can fight nobodies have twitter wars with real opponents then make big bucks

[Smash]

i just cant see there is no way pople like jon jones are making less than a mil a fight, id say it a multiple of that actually and they want more, why not, they are top of the sport, id say jones makes 3 mil plus a fight, i mean i remember years ago before mcgrggor fought floyd and they were asking him would he take 7 mil for the floyd fight and he scoffed and cried huh wtf u on about i make that amout right now per fight

Brother , like wtf
These guys , not mentioning names but lol , are getting paid top fughin dollar to fight who ever paid they’re sanctions fees with a couple of gifts through the back door

Évidence , this evening Stevenson made like 400k
For what , honestly , there was no chance of him losing the fight
Ffs the bookies had him at -5000
But 400k plus no fans
Meaning his purse would of been even more
It’s crazy
Just check what the fighters purses were tonight and I’m not one to worry about another man’s fortune
It’s got fugh all to do with that

I prefer viewing boxing to mma but I have to give Dana White some credit. Of course, the UFC fighters aren't paid much of a fraction of top pro boxers, but he's making things happen and the best fight the best. It's difficult to get the best fights lately in boxing.

For matchmaking and getting the big fights ; can’t argue there
Jerkoff or not , Dana getting the better end

the fact that he has always underpaid fighters a lot and kept most of the mon ey that should have gone to them for himself is why he gets so mad. The truth hurts. He is famous for underpaying fighters because he has a monopoly on MMA and can get away with it. there is no real competition to the UFC and there is no place else the underpaid MMA fighter can go to get better pay. That is why the take over of boxing he has talked about for so many years has not happened and won't happen. He wants to get into boxing and underpay boxers but that will never work in boxing. If he does not pay a boxer fairly that boxer can go to many other promoters and get fair pay.

Mma fighters especially mma fighters not named connor mcgregor. jorge is right the ufc is extra lowballing fighters especially with rebok deal how a champ only gets 40k in sponsor money mikey garcia has been known to get 10x that. The polorizing Jon jones makes 3-4m a fight yet ppv numbers for the decade is always consistently 500k-1.2m buys so when know that u cant be mad jones asking for wilder fury money. Jones numbers better than theres. Then ufc only shares 12-15% of revenuewith fighters unlike hocky futbol football basketball ect they share 50% revenue with athletes. Jorge right it makes zero sense how he get offered less money for championship fight vs usman than did vs fight vs diaz ect and so on. Dana white is don king robbing low balling fighters. How u only offer donald cerrone 200k with no up end to fight connor mcgregor knowimg the ppv gonna do numbers better than anything anyone else gone do in mma or boxing

Fughin right
I just read the first sentence and had to reply
If it didn’t boggle his conscience , he wouldn’t give two fughs
Dana fughin White worth like a half billion
Without getting his brain bamboozled
Lol his toughest test was carrying Mayweather’s bags back in the day
Not getting biatch slapped for carrying them wrong

Lol Jon Jones DOES NOT make $5 Mil a fight.

He gets paid a base pay of around $500K with maybe some ppv points % in addition.

UFC fighters are terribly underpaid in comparison to the fact they are outshining Boxers in this day & age.

Good to see them finally use their leverage and push for more money. It takes a group of them.

Which is still $500K more than he would make if he was a boxer.

Hate to admit but yeah , your right
Just look at last night’s purses
That says it all and really puts a spotlight on their coin
Guys getting 10g’s on the undercard and it gets worse with their opponents
Can make that coin on a corner in a week without the training and the stress of cutting weight
Is that nuts lol
