    I think as MMA gets bigger there will be a glaring contrast in how the fighters are treated. I think Dana is scum for the most part and taking in a huge share of the profits, but so are the boxing promoters. I think this conference showed a glaring difference in how they are treating the fighters. The summit was held for all fighters and they taught them about nutrition, weight cutting, financial planning. Only the top fighters in boxing are able to afford these luxuries, the guys at the bottom are fighting for scraps. Boxing needs to take better care of their fighters, and the top fighters need to get smart and unionize in order to help the boxers at the bottom.
