Mayweather/MMA wages

  1. It's not about the individual though, some people can see further than their own interests...
     
  2. Well for starters they don't see the whole pay cheque, they don't get things like super annuation, retirement funds or other workplace benefits. Their careers end around about 30-35 which basically leaves them with a useless trade to live the rest of their life.

    What about the nature of their work, they definitely deserve to be renumerated properly for their work.

    They don't see the paycheque but these guys get more then a pay cheque. Sponsorship is huge in MMA.

    The nature of their work should be taken into consideration but earning a years wages in 15 or 25 minutes is impressive. You must also consider that MMA enjoy their trade, boxers don't. Guys get into boxing to get out of the ghetto and earn money. Wrestlers, Judokas etc tend to actually enjoy their sport and are now being paid to practice it. Otherwise they would all be in boxing trying to earn a buck.

    Whats your point? You lied and said the reason Fedor wasn't in the UFC is because their bad business practices when Fedor is a part-owner and managed by a far more corrupt and manipulative promotion in M-1. Clearly you don't know what your talking about.
