These guys are extremely underpaid. Compare them to tennis players where even third tiers earns fairly big money. Difference is that most of the money is paid to the athletes in tennis and that they have a very strong players association.

Unless you are a top level guy, you'd better really love the sport to continue fighting because you aren't going to make any money from it.

Another difference is that tennis has a broader audience.
