    It's funny when you compare this to De La Hoya vs Maywhether

    ODLH earned approx $66,000,000
    Maywhether earned approx $44,000,000
    ... Really?? If it's true, it's really nothing, especially if you consider that MMA fighters have often up to 4-5 different coaches they do work with..

    Many factors in this tbf.

    MMA is not as popular as boxing therefor the PPV numbers are not going to be as high, plus UFC is free for UK viewers if you have ESPN, never had to pay for a UFC card yet. Dana White loves money and pays peanuts compared to big time boxers. Also consider the amount of top bouts that are on a UFC fight card compared to a main event boxing card.

    Dana can get away with paying what he feels the fighters are worth as UFC has the highest global appeal. Most MMA fighters see the UFC as the pinnacle of cage fighting and thats where they want to compete ( bar a few names ) so they will take whats on offer more than not.

    Personally i never forsee MMA fighters ever getting as much as the likes of the De La Hoya's of the this world.
    Has nothing to do with Dana White...Has to do with the whole Payroll comes off the UFC and no one else....If they were paying fighters $3,000,000 a bout they would go broke...Take how many fighters they have....Take how many elite fighters exist in the UFC
    which is about 80% because they are the best of the best in MMA every fighter espires to make it there and get a contract.....

    In boxing the purses to be paid are split between promoters one guy does not pay it all....

    On the other hand in MMA lets say Brock made 475,000...plus his sponsor payments, plus other sponsorship payments, plus PA fees....he made jst abt a cool million for the fight.......MMA fighters don't pay the high training camp feesw regular fighters do they train with the guys they train with every day...They dont pay every guy they train with...these guys spend gym time together upcoming fight or not......

    One day the purses will be bigger right now just not possible.......

    As for Dana White as much as he likes money he knows he cant make money withoput the fighters....The fighters will walk to Japan ASAP if they feel fucked and Dana will be AOL......

    Come on it has loads to do with Dana White, he is the man behind UFC, it's the Feritta brothers ( probs spelt wrong )that have Zuffer and the money men as such, but if it wasnt for Dana UFC would have been on their arses long time ago.

    Everything else ya say i agree with tho
    Your missing the point...NO it has NOTHING to do with Dana White....If boxing only had 1 promoter it would be the same thing.....

    THE MONEY IS NOT THERE TO PAY THE SAME AS THE ELITE BOXERS!!!!!!!!

    EG- If you have only 1 well to drink from and there are 25,000 people looking for drinks everyone has to get a portioned amount or the well runs dry....

    You cant let everyone have all they want can you? Doesn't matter who owns the well when its empty its empty.............

    If they all made hundreds of thousands and millions they would run dry quick...They can't pay what they dont have.....If you think the UFC has the individual finances of Golden Boy, DKP or Arum your mistaken greatly!!!!!!! Those promoters can't affoard the paydays alone

    Boxing has no less they 20 major promoters in the world that work together on events to raise funds for these mega paydays...they don't do it alone........

    As fars as the DLH/PBF paydays those were not flat purses that was what each MIGHT I stress MIGHT have made off the bouts those are not positive guarenteed earnings for each anyone who takes those numbers from the media and believe it in stone needs to buy the bridge in Brooklyn I own.....

    Those numbers also reflect the PPV%, gate%, promotional expenses paid for appearences, portion of broadcasting etc through the promotion companies they take part in..Those numbers are not flat purses...If that was the case these guys would be making upwards of 75,000,000 per fight
