The pay in MMA has to go up.
Why? Seriously.
the last thing UFC fighters need is more money. fights are boring enough as it is.
Boxing takes skill, that's why they get paid the millions.MMA is so new and the sport is constantly evolving. I like both but boxing isn't something you can just pick up and expect to be world champion with a few years of training like MMA fighters have done.
Nah. few Boxers get paid because they generate the $$$ for the promoters.

True. Everybody talking about Mayweather but where is the $ for getting beat up by a crossdresser at the local Natl Guard Armory?
Phil Heath should be earning 1 mil for winning the mr o, the ifbb needs to dip in their pockets.
How do you expect to attract top talent if the top10 barely break a million per fight?GSP and John bones jones are making nothing compared to top 10 boxers.
....seriously? You've got people out there literally changing the world through science and technology who don't even make 6 figures a year...and you think these guys should get more than a million a fight? Sports are awesome and fun, but when people start getting upset that these guys don't get paid enough it really just reaffirms my beliefs about how bass ackwards our priorities are as a society.
And they all make more than bbers...haha. Stuff as much drugs and food as you can, sell your body to schmoes, and have your internal organs give out, all for what? Mayweather's pocket change is more than most bbers make.
