Do you think in our lifetime we'll ever see..

Big pay days and all the list of boxers both elite and bottom rung that ended up in dire straits is not short by any stretch. I just think w/o the knowledge of what the UFC is making and its overhead, what other compensation the fighters are also making and the fact that no MMA business model has succeded by paying big salaries some are making a lot of unsubstantiated assumptions.

The sport would need to transform for that to happen.

The sport "prize fighting" i.e. "Boxing" is not centered around a single promoter, a single sanctioning body and a single government body using one set of rules granting fighters license to fight in their territory. The only stage where this can occur is the Olympics.
