Next will be breaking news that water is wet. What he fails to mention is that UFC fighters get money from Venom (formerly Reebok). They also get free uniforms. So the UFC fighters have that going for them.
It was the same interview
What do you think boxers start out making?

Yeah cause obviously that's what they're focused on, how much they make at the start and not throughout their career as a whole

tbf he's talking about the main eventers, the curtain jerkers get an even smaller piece of the pie in boxing than they do in MMA.

UFC fighter pay is so blatantly exploitative... nobody does a damn thing about it.
Dana has been raping these fighters for decades now.
Hope one day we can witness the hammer come down hard on him.
However, I have a feeling that he will see it coming and "retire" long before any thing happens to him.

It's already happening. That's why Dana is scouring 3rd world countries for talent. You have a prospect here or there but the talent pool is drying up.
The talent pool was better when pay was worse?
It’s not him…..he’s paid to do a job on behalf of others. If not him, someone else……

Umm... he created EVERYTHING!
The whole system was created and fine tuned by Dana White.
I don't mean exploiting fighters, that's been going on since the beginning of time.
I mean, specifically, the UFC's system and how they go about it. That's all Dana White.
