Comparing boxing to UFC is like comparing basketball's NBA to football. So how much do MMA and boxers receive regularly?
UFC is like Matchroom or Top Rank or PBC or Golden Boy in boxing. The difference is that the UFC is bigger than these 4 biggest boxing promotions combined. So why is it that they are less valued when Matchroom is paying Canelo and Joshua around $20 to $50 million per fight? Simple, the UFC makes PPV events to earn money while in boxing PPVs are made to pay fighters they cannot afford. The UFC takes nearly all of the PPV revenues while superstars in boxing will get 70% to even 100% of the revenues in their PPVs. The same reason why HBO left boxing is that PPVs involve a lot of money guarantees which is risky if it flops while it only takes a little to zero of the revenue.
Only 2 events per year in boxing? This weekend there are 5 championship fights in separate events. DAZN, ESPN, and Showtime have weekly events most of the time. So since the UFC has its own weekly events as well, does it mean it is losing money to many of its events which is why it needs to save money from their other events? Every event is supposed to earn revenue otherwise why stage the event? The UFC is earning a billion each year, does this sounds like it is having a hard time maintaining the purse of its fighters?
I don't really want to engage with this kind of topic anymore in comparing Boxing with MMA, because we already dealt with this in the past, and with the kind of payment boxing and MMA got it really has a different depth in it that could be talking about in many ways, but it will not have any closure at all and this will just continue sorry but it really annoys me but you guys are always welcome in the opening such topic but just like this I will just make approvement because any discussion is not really wrong,
Well, I have seen a video of Tyson Fury saying that he ain't going in no cage, talking to Israel Adesanya so I really think that Tyson Fury VS Jon Jones inside the MMA cage will surely not happen for sure, for sure just like you have said Fury is always careful and greedy he would not be taking any fight at all if he is not winning it that is what I think about Tyson Fury,
