I'm sure Jones would beat Floyd in a fight, but it's not about who would win between the two, it's about who makes more. Floyd clearly got him beat there.
funny thing is, MMA is more dangerous and there are many ways to lose. they are more at risk of getting seriously hurt than boxers and MMA gets more coverage and boxing is supposedly "dying". yet these guys get paid dog **** :rofl gotta love Dana White. Dana White tries to play that "self righteous" role. but the motha****er is piece of **** con man too. AT LEAST Arum breaks off his fighters a good chunk.
Their fighters are being absolutely raped. I thought guys like Arum were scum for skimming 30% off of a purse. UFC must be taking the equivalent of 90% of what a purse would be if they were paid the same way.
Still making more in a night's work than I make in 5 years. I honestly couldn't care less how much mma fighters make compared to boxers. I wouldn't feel insecure if they made more either - nor would I care more for the sport.
it is laughable how much they get paid, I kinda feel sorry for them. I'm not a fan of MMA, but I can see how some people are.
If what's important is how close a sport is to a real fight you should just go watch old Kimbo videos on youtube and claim he is the baddest guy on the planet. MMA has a whole bunch of rules and is nothing like an actual, real-world fight.
