Boxing Purses vs MMA Purses

You can look at it any way you want it but Carwin, a major draw to the gates with his flashy K.O power getting only 40k is beyond the mountain of ludicrousness. A main draw 40K? Can't believe how shit Zuffa are on that side.

You gotta realize the UFC fighters sign a contract in that contract it states how much they will get per fight. When carwin signed with the UFC he was not a main draw. Hell no one outside of die hard MMA fans even knew who he was. His contract amount was $40K but that does not include the ppv % he got nor the back stage bonuses he gets. When fighters in the UFC begin to exceed the level of their current contract they get backstage bonuses to compensate for their contract amount until the sign a new one. People who don't follow MMA that closely don't know about that. Fighters also get alot of cash from sponsorships.

I understand what you say. However, I still disagree with the whole thing. A correct thing would be to have a contract with an movable basic amount depending of what you achieve and what is your significance in the organization, why would Brock have a basic of 10 times more than Carwin as both are huge draw? I am not necessarily speaking exactly the same but something that would get close to a 60-40. Even with the sponsorship, 40K basic is not that much, especially because the sponsors won't give him an additional 100K for a night.

Brock is a much much much bigger draw than carwin.

Brock is a much much much bigger draw than carwin.

Even then, Carwin was hugely popular and did contribute largely to the massive PPV sale, as I said, I am ok that they do not receive the same amount but from 500 000 to 40K the gap is way way too important in my opinion.

Exactly, the impressive record Shane brought into that fight helped make it an event.

I agree, $40K is peanuts & the reason that fight was a big draw was due to both Brock & Shane & his impressive record. I also read that only Brock received a % of PPV sales, not Shane.
