Miguel Cotto will make upwards of 30 million against Canelo

lol @ comparing boxing to mma. The UFC didn't start making money until 2005 also as much as I love boxing it's going to fall off hard once Mayweather retires.
 
holy fuck

these desperates boxing fans
 
Do boxing trolls ever talk about the matchup or just the purse? All I heard leading up to the Floyd-Pac fight was about how much money they would make.

How about we compare the bottom 500 fighters instead

What kinda money those boxers making? Lotta opportunities for 75k bonuses at that level? Lotta TV time they get?
 
lol

It's a shame this thread got moved, always fun to see people cry in the heavies about the pay and the argument about boxing being dead after these guys leave

Because that is what annoys you guys.
What is even better is that you buy the PPV, don't have no knowledge about the fighters/styles (not directing that at you) and then cry when the fight isn't a brawl for 12 rounds.

Really don't know what people expected from the Floyd/Manny fight, yeah, Manny to be a bit more aggressive but with his style he was always going to lose to a UD
 
Fastest growing sport in the world?

Is there any evidence about that? Someone who said that and isn't a promotor like Dana and his ass licker Joe Hogan.

The 500 lowest paid MMA fighters don't have those opportunities either. In both Boxing and MMA those guys (and plenty, plenty other fighters) are receiving the minimum payment required to be paid out by promoters under regulation. Probably only a couple/few hundred per fight. In both sports. And that's only if the fight(s) are being overseen by a commission, which is not always the case.
 
See it so often. Don't know why some people insist on trying to compare the lowest earners in a whole sport (boxing) to the lowest earners in the top MMA promotion (UFC).

If you insist on using the pay of the lowest earners of those fighters under UFC contract then it's only completely fair to then compare those guys to the lowest earners of those boxers who are under contract to a top boxing promotion, whether that be Top Rank or what have you.

That is bullshit. But since you wanna go there...The Mexicans and Ricans make up just as much as what the fans wanting to watch a Jones vs Silva would.

1 - if fighters know they are only making 10/10 and they don't have another job to support themselves, then they are retarded. You realize there will be boxers on the cotto undercard making $500 right? Do you go on boxing forums and complain about that?

LOL. Quit making up lies you loser.

2 - if fighters are making 10/10, they shouldn't be spending all their money on a training camp nor managers. Its not my fault fighters are retarded about spending their money. No one is buying a ppv for a guy making 10/10 on the undercard....those fights aren't even aired on the ppv.

There are many fighters in a main UFC PPV card getting paid $10,000. And if they are not supposed to pay for a training camp pertaining to preparing efficiently for a match then what are they supposed to do you idiot? Just not train and lose?

so you aren't aware of fighters on big boxing cards making shit money?

do you even watch boxing?

Yeah the ones making shit money are on the undercard of a Telemundo Saturday night card which is where boxers usually make their pro debut with four rounders.

If you watched boxing you would know this. You don't which is why you are making such a idiotic statement. You pulled that out of your ass.

you can find people on ESPN boxing making that much.

It's just a stupid statement to say Cotto is making $30 million as proof that boxers earn more than MMA fighters on the whole. Its simply not true.

Its not true in any form of prizefighting. if you're not a star, you don't make shit.

In the Cotto and Gaele undercard one of the boxers made over $130,000 and another $65,000.

Even on ESPN they do not make as small as $500. Maybe $3000 but not $500.

Boxers do earn more than MMA fighters in general. Why is this such a debatable topic?

Boxing has been around for ages but it deals differently with the fighters than MMA does since MMA is more exclusive to a company that runs the MMA fights like UFC.

UFC in general is running the MMA formula just like WWE. That is where the problem is.

Like who? Just curious.

And please be aware that ESPN isn't buying the rights to a whole card when they are showcasing these fights that are generally (almost always) put on my some small time promoter. They give the money (less than $100,000 per show) to these promoters and receive the rights to show two fights on an ESPN broadcast with maybe an agreement for a 3rd if the situation dictates that they need a swing bout in between or filler at the end due to their main fights ending early. Any fight that doesn't make it to air is not an "ESPN fight" and instead is simply a (insert small-time promoters name) fight.
