You are doing that to show how lopsided and bad UFC pay is on purpose. Why don't you include the UFC money that comes from Venom? Then you will see how much closer the pay is.
 
Forget boxing, theres no comparison.

Rory MacDonald made $59,000 base pay for fight against Robbie Lawler

Marina made $87,000

Let that shit sink in. UFC is a sick joke for anyone other than viewers.

People are focusing on Canelo's pay, but BJS who is not a big name got 3 mill guaranteed which no MMA fighter in history has ever got more than in guaranteed published money!!!

Which is why MMA is just the rejects yards from an athlete's perspective
 
I'm starting to think the UFC is throwing up terrible headliners intentionally so when people complain about pay, worst comes to worst, they can turn around and be like yeah but its fucking waterson and someone else i dont know...

News just in, sport that brings in more money pays more money. Viewers said to be outraged
 
Canelo is lucky that wmma was headlining the event otherwise he would have had to wait again

<{Heymansnicker}>
 
why would 2 random mediocre WMMA fighters make anywhere near as much as 2 of the best MW boxers/stars lmao.

The UFC would never schedule a big fight on Canelo's weekend of choice cinco de mayo

Any UFC fight would likely get dwarfed to irrelevance

Whilst it's true boxing is 10x bigger than MMA, BJS is not the cause of that and his guaranteed published money is the same as Lesnar's or conor's career high paydays

You are right to use the word outrageous

They already did and canelo had to fucking wait for the ufc event to finish. Biggest star in boxing right there lmao

Canelo is considered p4p and main eventing a hotly anticipated ppv against an undefeated trash talker (who is also pals with Tyson fury), with the event having one of the largest live gates ever in boxing.

Waterson and Rodriguez are two ranked straw weights fighting at flyweight on a weeks notice on a fight night card.

Not comparable.

But yeah, the pay differential between the sports is ridiculous haha
