@whiskeygoggles But let me end by saying I don't think boxing is the greatest system for making sure fighters get paid. I respect the UFC for their system, Dana makes the fights fans want to see, they get exposure like you said, all of that is stuff boxing needs to learn from. Like I said, with Dana its some truth mixed with disrespect and dishonesty many times. Both sports would be better without this kind of press right here.
-
@whiskeygoggles The fact is, Cotto, Marquez, and many other names most UFC-only fans have no clue about make a significant amount of money.. More than the top UFC champions, and that is a fair comparison, and something Dana White is not addressing. He never answered the question. The answer is Diaz ABSOLUTELY would make more money in boxing, its not even a question.

@whiskeygoggles If you know boxing, you know a 20 - 0 fighter is not on a PPV level yet. At that record, he is still working his way up to contender status fighting bums and other prospects. He is on the verge of a PPV event and Friday Night Fights and the like. The moment they get on PPV they get paid. Are you telling me UFC fighters not on a PPV event make a significant amount more than a 20-0 boxer? Keep the comparison fair. Compare guys like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to anyone in UFC

@whiskeygoggles EXACTLY! I also am an avid boxing fan and a UFC fan as well. What I don't appreciate is Dana White's attitude toward the sport. It seems most UFC fans who don't watch boxing buy into a lot of what he says, which is a bit of truth mixed with fabrication. He is like Michael Moore. Anyways, the difference between the number of boxers and number of fighters in the UFC isn't even comparable. A more accurate comparison would be PPV boxing events vs. PPV UFC events.

@sombramigo No I have to disagree with you. I am an avid boxing fan and I happen to know that a 20-0 fighter has difficulties paying bills. He's right, the bonuses in the UFC are more than journeyman boxers make. However there are many, many more boxers than fighters in the UFC. It takes years or at least marketability to generate any money in a boxing match. The fighters you think about that make money have established themselves to get the public interest. The UFC provides the exposure needed.
-
Most of the guys don't make what your fighters make in bonuses? Care to quote the numbers big boy? Its easy to just sound like an expert when you don't have to quote the stats. UFC is building on the path that boxing paved. It's not like it worked its way up from scratch, it benefits from the 100 years of boxing that existed before it. The demographic is fight fans, its not just split UFC or boxing. Tonnes of boxing fans are UFC fans too. If you are real, you can see Dana White is hustlin

I asked around my office today and the average joe whos not a mma OR boxing fan can name more UFC stars than Current boxers. Thats a HUGE change in the situ only 5 years ago. Like it or not boxing is such a stagnant sport these days and thats due largely to the money involved!! I actually will be glad if MMA doesn't go as far as boxing but still would like to see under card guys earning WAY more than the 5-10 k some are getting. They may never be a headliner but should be making more than they
-
Big deal if they don't make as much as a boxer they still get paid well. Not every pro boxer makes what Mayweather does also and also even though I have alot more respect for MMA being a martial artist I think b/c boxing was around alot longer they have bigger pockets.
