2) although I did use ODLH as an example, you can use any boxing PPV headliner vs any UFC PPV headliner. The boxer will make approximatly 3 to 5 million while the UFC fighter will make a 10% of that even counting various bonuses that are availble. Considering that the UFC PPV's are bringing the approximately the same amount of money as the Boxing PPV you can see how badly Dana White is ripping these guys off.

3) Nate Campbell was never Lightweight Champion. He was nothing more then an alphabet titleist, and true boxing fans know the difference.

1a. Sorry, UFC is the promoter, matchmaker, sanctions, and pays the fighters. WBC or WBA receive money from fighters and don't participate in any promotion, etc.

2a. Use all the other people on the card for the headliners in the example as well and you will see that they aren't being ripped off. 10% of the headliners in boxing crack the million mark.

3a. Nate beat Juan Diaz who was in the process of unifying the titles. Casamayor was the most recognized champ, but that doesn't change the fact that Nate was a legitimate headlining champ.
1) Alright the alphabet gangs are not exactly the same as the role the UFC plays; however, your missing the point, the purpose of my original post was to point out that the UFC is just one MMA sanctioning organization, and they do not allow their fighters to fight other organization fighters, such fighters from Affliction.

2) There is a UFC PPV every month, and there is a boxing PPV ever month. Compare the headliners. You'll be shocked to see how little the big MMA names make, and like I said before, that money is going right to Dana White and the other suits.

3) In boxing you have to beat the champion to become the champion. And as a fan you should accept no less. No matter how many paper titles Nate Campbell collected he would never become The Lightweight CHampion until he beat the champion.

IF you think otherwise, then you are buying into the cancerous alphabet gangs, who are destroying the clarity in this sport.

1a. Understood, but I see it more like the NFL vs the USFL. There's a difference in the talent level, and the USFL signed alot of top talent but didn't last. Affliction is a tshirt company. If I was running UFC I wouldn't give Affliction the time of day. The other orgs are lower level than UFC. And somewhat function as a minor league for UFC.

2a. I don't think it's all going to Dana. I think percentage wise much more goes to the undercard fighters. I get your point and agree, but the big picture of all the fighters is my point. The undercard guys in UFC are better off than the undercard guys in boxing.

3a. Juan Diaz wasn't a paper champ, and Nate beat him for the titles. I get your point but don't agree in this scenario. The case for either guy being champ is argueable. Even so, Casamayor wasn't a million dollar purse earner. He only had 1 or 2 big paydays.
