Dana White Talks UFC Money vs Boxing Money

Wow an employees cheque never bounced! Impressive.

NFL has been around for about 90 years, but who’s counting.

So young but still raking in the $… doesn’t matter how old it is.

I can’t wait until 5-7 years from now.. there will be no *new* Mayweathers or Pacquiaos making that money anymore and this debate will finally be over.

I’ve said it before…when you hear White’s perspective-FROM A BUSINESS point of view, he often doesn’t come off as Don King…I sure he’s done some bad but it’s pretty clear he’s done some good too…and he’s the one with skin in the game…

All I know, is they could pay the fighters more, actually I’m assuming. But, if you bank rolled for that long, and if true 50Mil in the hole that long, I think as an investor you’d want to make a pretty good ROI FIRST, before the fighters. I know I would. Don’t lie that you wouldn’t.

the fighters dont only get paid for the fights, they make alot of money, depending on how they are ranked of course.

If they where not fighting in the UFC who would by their T shirts and other marketing gear that the fighters sell. For some of the fighters if they could keep out of debt doing something else then they should do it.

1. ufc fighters dont fight 12 rounds
2. ppv events in boxing you only get like 3 fights and a main event
3.the front rows tickets in a manny paquiao fight a guy paid 10 thousand us dollars just for a ticket
4.in boxing you have all this legends and a bunch of rich old schools fans ..bunch of celebrities with money .
5. ufc fans are poor and cheap always trying to get free tickets from dana white
6.some of the ufc fighters like to lay on top of each other like gsp and jone ficht and like to be holding guys on the fence for 1 and a half minutes ..boring and the list goes on

Props to history, people need to study it more, the facts back Dana up. Give him some time

Boxers do fight 12 rounds of 3 minutes but they BOXE 36 minutes.1 minute of grappling=3 minutes of boxing in terms of cardio.25 minutes of MMA is way harder phisically and for the cardio then 36 of boxing.Especially sicne they take a 1 minute pause between each 3 minutes.”Laying on each other” like you say is way better then boxers hugging when they should punch and its more hard for the cardio.Even 15 minutes of MMA is harder then 36 minutes of boxing.
