    LOL. even UFC vs WWE....WWE pays a lot of there more well known wrestlers a million+, and guys like Triple H have there own private jets! You can look up to see some of the WWE wrestlers salaries. If UFC are actually bigger than WWE then I wish they'd pay there fighters more. Even the crap WWE wrestlers who aren't on T.V are making like 100K a year.
    Don't even want to go in to boxing. I mean the Mosley/ Pac fight was $70. Most UFC events are what? 40 I think? The Mosley Pac is suppose to get around 1.2 mil buys. UFC hardly ever gets buys near that.....Except for Lesnar who guess what? GOT HIS FANBASE FROM THE WWE! Lol
    I know people don't do more than Pac/ Mayweather and they are exceptional, and I know wrestlers like Cena, Triple H, Undetaker, etc are payed very generously, BUT you look at the top people each sport (Boxing, pro wrestling, and MMA) and there's not much comparision. You look at guys at the bottom of the totem pole and they might be somewhat similar.

    Dana is doing what any half baked promoter does and that's ***** his product. The reality is MMA isn't half as big as Dana or fans like to think it is. When they get sanctioned in NY il take note. When MMA is a fraction as big as boxing is in Europe il take note. When they regularly pull in the numbers that WWE does for its events il take note.
