Boxing Purses vs MMA Purses

[Mattyhitman]

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.

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

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

I am starting to smell wind up artist attempting in this thread

So you are really going to tell me that boxing being an established sport with DECADES of establishment has nothing to do with how much boxers are getting paid? For real? I'm sorry but the super six while I love it because I'm a boxing fanatic isn't getting that much interest at all. 1 mil per fight for a boxer is nothing and thats just real. You know it as well as I do. How many casual boxing fans care about David Haye? Boxing does as well as it does because its been around forever and its fan base is set although it has been on a decline lately with a lack of superstars. Yes there are some fighters out there that have the potential to be superstars but they are not there yet. You can't honestly tell me anyone in the super six is a superstar. Ward is a superstar in the making but he's not there yet. The klits aren't superstars either because if they were majority of boxing fans wouldn't think the heavyweight division was shitty.

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.
