Some of the most stacked cards in combat sports history. Most of these 205 fights are main event worthy.

Will boxing be forced to adopt the singular governing body model in order to survive?

i thought that was what haymon was going to do but he just clowned it up with a bunch of mismatches and cherry picks while overpaying fighters as if they were fighting super fights

[Sp0rty Cr@ig]

Conor McGregor sold 1.5 million PPV's and only earned 3 million which was a record high pay day in an MMA fight. These UFC guys dont know any better and dont know that they are getting fucked over financially. UFC reminds me of communism. All the fighters are workers who earn the company so much money yet get so little in return.

It will slowly get better for the fighters in terms of pay, MMA is still a young sport. UFC is doing extremely well for it's maturity, and from a fan perspective we never have to worry about "ducking" which plagues boxing. MMA PPV's are showing insane growth, fighters will eventually see more, they may unionize..

yeah, conor walked away with close to 20mil per reports from that last fight with the ppv upside.

because he didn't cherry pick.

It has nothing to do with how young the sport is or a union(lmao). It has everything to do with the structure of UFC. They have a monopoly. If there was any competition in MMA like there is in boxing fighters would have choices and promoters would have to give them their fair share for fighters to sign with them. In MMA you either sign for UFC and get 3mill for a 1.5 million PPV or dont fight at all. Most of their top stars dont even make a million in their biggest PPV fights.

From a fans perspective its great though. Imagine if GGG, Canelo, Garcia, Ward fought 3 times a year and their promoters chose every fight the fans wanted to see.
