@coutura
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.

the only people making real money are the belt holders and the headliners because they get performance bonuses aside from the fight of the night sub and ko and they belt holders dont know about the headliners but the belt holders get a cut of the ppv

Well that explains that and if you don’t understand it, then perhaps you need to visit the badminton sports page.

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

Well now you put it that way Dana!

I don’t want these guys to have to have 2 jobs like me. One job in IT (Information Technology) and the other blowing guys for $.

We should all be able to have just one job. I mean I’m not even that good at IT.

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.

@the board-
White also makes the very valid point that MOST boxers on a card don’t make s*** either…

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