Lol here are the top 10 MMA fighters and what they’ve earned in the UFC

McGregor 15.2 mil
Alistair Overeem ($9.8 million)
Khabib Nurmagomedov ($8.6 million)
Anderson Silva ($8.1 million)
Michael Bisping ($7.1 million)
Georges St-Pierre ($7 million)
Jon Jones ($7 million)
Mark Hunt ($6.3 Million)
Donald Cerrone ($6.1 million)
Junior dos Santos ($5.9 million)

This doesn’t include endorsements. If each of the above listed can’t survive on what they’ve made then they need better investment managers.

Try again

Like is said ****** and paupers.

I think you need to look up the type of money boxers make.
Were you trying to prove my point for me son?

In other words the UFC is much better run than boxing. They have as many or more stars, are able to put out deeper cards, get big fights made in a more timely fashion, and get better numbers while spending less money.

And if boxing is bigger why does the UFC kick its ass on PPV?

Boxing in 2020 = 5 PPV fights, no Spence/Garcia numbers yet but the other four fights did roughly 3.2m total combined buys (with a ****ing exhibition match between two men in their fifties + youtuber vs NBA player co main accounting for over half of it), meanwhile the UFC is about to go to PPV for the 11th time this year, and their top 5 PPVs of the year did roughly 4.4m buys combined already, no Youtubers or NBA players necessary.

Are you brain dead??

Even your biggest star gets better pay days from boxing.

So what? The UFC are able to put on deeper cards and make big fights more frequently because they have a monopoly and dont need to fork out millions to get any halfway decent fight made. I'm not getting a share of anyones pay so I dont give a **** what anyone is making. Boxing can pay the Charlo bros or Tank/LSC millions for a PPV but they're still drawing ****ty numbers because nobody really gives a ****. $35 million in combined purses for Canelos last fight only for him to sit in his locker room for an extra 45 mins while the UFC was shown to the live crowd lmao.

You are actually defending a monopoly and fighters being robbed??

They are getting paid hundreds of thousands for a fight, thats hardly being robbed. And again, the (relative) monopoly is the reason MMA fans actually get the fights they want in a timely manner and a superior overall product.

Lol @ being a fan and being like "well its okay to wait for 5 years for see the two best guys in a division fight each other, because at least they're making millions fighting cherry picked bums in the meantime"

Damn. You even admitting these dudes starvin.

Boxing makes more relevant matchups then UFC and that is a fact.
UFC try to protect the cash cows and gives them gift decisions anyway.
