Boxing Purses vs MMA Purses

[Bigdog1981]

the sport of mma has yet to get the cancer that is greed. But as sure as i am the sun
will rise tomorrow this will one day happen, its called the frank warren effect.

People have to realize the A. Boxing has been around forever. MMA has been around what maybe 20 years? And only recently gathered a main stream audience. B. There is an MMA PPV every single month how often to you get a great boxing match? The main guys in boxing fight maybe twice a year MAYBE. So in that there is much more buildup for those bouts than you have with a MMA match. People have to stop this MMA vs Boxing garbage because I tell you what if they both came into existence at the same time MMA would be vastly more popular than boxing. I love both sports but get sick of the ridiculous debate and the constant boxing fans downing MMA and MMA fans doing the same with boxing.

How many times did the main draws of MMA, Lesner and GSP fight last year?

And this, based on what other then pure speculation, your magic eight ball?

while I'm boxing first, MMA 2nd, as far as interests go, I agree. They are two entirely different sports with different fan bases that don't necessarily overlap as much as people think. They can survive together, separately, and independent of one another. And learn a few things from each other along the way.

What you fail to realize is Lesnar and GSP are not the only MAIN draws MMA. They have Several.

Machida
Rampage
Big Nog
Anderson Silva
BJ Penn
Shogun
Fedor
Dan Henderson
Randy Couture

In boxing right now as far as MAIN draw guys the guys that can really bring in the money there are only two Manny and Floyd. Yes lesser boxers do make more money then the main guys of MMA and thats because the sport has been around longer and has more of an established audience. MMA is still a relatively new sport and is growing.

Maybe what you fail to realize, is that there is more to this sport then just PAC and PBF. The super six alone has guys getting paid 1 mill per fight and it isn't just because we like to pay our athletes better. There is a lot of interest. How many of those fighters can you name that are getting 1 mill per fight? How about Haye? He's pulling some big numbers and it'll increase if he continues to perform. How about the Klitchko's when they fight? The list goes on and on. It isn't just because boxing is established. wtf? Not our fault the UFC takes the lions share of revenues, and doesn't compensate so many of their stars in the sport, when even so close to the pinnacle of it, they are still getting peanuts.

They are going to wake up one day and realize how badly they are getting fukked over by Dana White and the UFC. This is a combat sport. The next fight might be your last. Carwin, 40 k ? wtf?

But hey, you're sick of the ridiculous debate of MMA vs boxing, so i'll just quit now so I don't help you propagate another fallacy.

Love this debate



Dan Henderson wanted 1 mill for his next fight in UFC, Dana basically told him to go fcuk himself and he left for Strikeforce, and got beat in his next fight lol serves ya right Dan !

From what i remember even Fedor didnt get offered 1 mill to come across to UFC, and he's arguably the most sought after MMA fighter not in the UFC

Someone told me yesterday that Dan also talked about starting a union in UFC - I could see Dana telling Dan to get lost for that reason too. Can you imagine a work stoppage in UFC if they became unionized.

They might be overdoing it with all these PPV's once or even twice a month - too much of a good thing. My brother follows MMA pretty close & he sees guys on chat rooms start complaining that certain fights are not PPV worthy.
