Comments Thread For: Mayweather Rips UFC's White: He Lives Better Than His Fighters!

[Eff Pandas]

I think most feel like the UFC should be paying guys better. The reality is the UFC is ran more like the NFL or MLB and as such the owners will be cashing bigger checks then the players as long as they prove profitable. Boxing is an unstructured every man for themselves sport and you are worth whatever you can get someone with money in the sport to pay you.

floyd just mad at the ufc since he ducked connor and turned down 50-50 with a guy whos much more popular than him.

He is right. White is in control of the fighters and decides what to pay them. The most I ever heard of an MMA fighter getting paid for 1 fight was about one million bucks. Mayweather made 200 times that much in one fight. Top boxers make more money than any promoter. That is certainly not true with Dana White. I am pretty sure he make more a year than his 20 highest paid fighters combined.

So, since Floydie used to box for a living, that makes it ok for him to pay fighters in his promotions peanuts.... but since White has never fought, it isn't ok for him to do the same thing.

That has to be some of the most whiny out of control excuse for logic I think I've ever heard. And I've heard alotta b.s. over 63+ years. SMDH

Missed the point Floyd is a promoter yes but he made 96% of his money as a fighter. So of course he will live better than his fighters he earned it being a fighter. If you are making money off the fighters they should benefit waaay more than UFC fighters do.

That's right and that is what makes the difference. The MMA promoters have the power and call the shots and there is next to nothing the fighters can do about. I love watching the UFC but I feel sorry for the underpaid fighters with mutilated ears. They should get paid a lot more to take the beatings they have to take.

Wow it clearly went over your head lol. He's not saying he pays them peanuts. He's saying he lives better cause he earned hundreds of millions by fighting. Not by paying guys small checks.

But even dunces like mathed don't understand
