Terence Crawford: I'd never consider MMA. They get paid too little.

[Queen B]

Crawford used to wrestle and now is fighting on PPV tonight.

Hes getting paid a guaranteed $1.3 million tonight.

If Dana wasnt greedy he would attract A-level athletes like Crawford.





You know who else is fighting on that card?

George "Comanche Boy" Tahdooahnippah

35-2 boxing (hes probably gonna lose tonight)
Kickboxing champ
Top 10 wrestler in USA

If UFC paid decent, they would have another A-level athlete like him

and then you have guys like Chris Algieri, who was also kickboxer and wrestler and gets $1.5m to fight Khan, etc.


UFC missing out on some A-level talent

 

[Polish Machine]

He's a cool honest guy.

 

[atxmmafan]

good for him. hes clearly athletic and explosive. would have likely been a lhw champ

 

[MrFeeny]

never heard of him

 

[Tormund]

Crawford doesn't realize the only reason he's making bank is because Arum is desperate for a big fight between him & Pacquiao, him vs. Postol should be a good fight tonight.

 

[SirKratos]

Smart guy

 

[Coolidge]

Another boxing-centric bait thread.

 

[Philtard]

Who?

 

[Cry0Therapy737]

I thought fighter pay was in the right direction with Brock and Lucky Charms getting big show money.

Then I saw Dillashaw and Sages payouts and it just reaffirms why were lucky to be rid of Zuffa.

 

[LoopingRight]

 

[MrFeeny]

Who?

i just looked him up. Apparently one of the best boxers out there, facing another undefeated russian guy tonight on ppv.

Tells me 2 things.

1. Boxing pays much better
2. Boxing does not market their stars good at all. I have never heard of this guy until right now, and i watch more boxing than the average person.

 

[Cheapshart]

Conor wouldn't get out of bed for $1.3m, to be fair

 

[Zanmato]

after 30 fights, 4 titles and a #1 ranking he's earning less than brock lesnar... if you're good and you're worth the money you'll get paid, if you're not then there's other guys out there that are

 

[KlNG]

If this was bait to get us upset...You failed TS.


He is 100% correct..Very smart dude. I hope others follow suit.

 

[LHWBelt]

Never heard of her

 

[Andy Anderson]

Off course, he's too athletic to be exploited by the UFC

 

[Coolidge]

after 30 fights, 4 titles and a #1 ranking he's earning less than brock lesnar... if you're good and you're worth the money you'll get paid, if you're not then there's other guys out there that are

Bingo.

 

[$uicideboy$]

crawford is my boy

How does that explain Trius P4P #1 making $200k?

The best UFC fighters ever is only worth $200k?

Shame on you Dana White for not paying fairly.

You should start an MMA promotion bro and pay everyone 10 million per fight!
