    Most boxers don't get paid enough.

    I know nothing about ufc, doesn't really appeal to me, so I can't comment on that, sorry.

    But I can tell you, if I was going to step in the ring and risk my life against the very best in the sport, I'd want a lot of money for what in comparison to most, is a very short lived career.

    My guess is that it's easier than getting hit several times with body shots to the liver, and having to get knowing that it's going to happen again.

    Why are they overpayed? Because they sell too many PPVs? Too large fan base? Why is this even a question? They get paid proportionately to what they can give.:roll:

    Oh come on, its not like your going to war and can get killed. Yes you can get killed in boxing but if your a professional, the probability of that is probably lower than the passengers plane crashes. Don't forget that its also a sport, and a competition, looking where the most money are and fighting because that or that opponents offered £50000 more its just stupid. I will probably never understand that

    **** yes they do.

    A lot of boxers get paid ****, and even the ones that get paid good, still have to shell out a lot of cash.

    Man, that fight was held in where? Who's he fighting? Of course he gets paid that amount. If that was on contract then it is. Now compare that to what Haye received.
