    Default UFC PPV Boasts

    Another record year for UFC on PPV - UFC - Yahoo! Sports

    read this on Yahoo, the UFC boasts claims that they made somewhere around $400 plus million last year on PPV, yet they can't afford to pay their fighters decent wages

    in the same article it says that Mayweather/Mosley was the top selling event of 2010 with 1.4 million buys, 2nd place Margarito/Pacquiao with about 1.1 million buys

    that doesn't change the fact that the UFC boasts about making nearly half a billion on PPV alone, yet they still continue to pay their fighters peanuts

    The UFC is a private company not a public one like HBO. HBO is mandated to release their records to the general public when it comes to PPV buys, and if HBO manages to fudge their numbers and deceiving people, they're looking at an investigation from the SEC and looking at time in the Feds.

    White can brag all he wants but unless those numbers are official then I wouldn't pay too much attention.

    Sooner rather than later some of the top UFC fighters will start jumping ship. Even the top fighters are only making $250k and the UFC is getting $400mil from PPV?? Most of the mid card guys make $2k-$5k, how the hell they survive on that is beyond me. Plus the UFC is total dicks about outside sponsorship. These poor fighters are trying to make a few extra buck but Dana keeps shutting them down.

    I think the difference between the UFC and boxing reguarding money is that all the fighters of the UFC make decent money while its only the very top boxers make millions while all the rest fight for very little.

    As a sport I would pick boxing over the UFC and day of the week but as a total package boxing could learn a lot from the UFC.
