There is no simple answer about this, look at Women Boxers going to WMMA, some of them get paid more in WMMA compared to in Women Boxing, but you don't see people talking about some Women Boxers not getting paid so they go to WMMA, boxing structure is different, top boxing guys take all the money, while other boxers and other women boxers who fight in prelims on the same card take less money than prelim UFC fighters take. UFC just doesn't pay the top UFC guys equally as top guys in boxing. But middle and lower level guys in UFC gets paid more than the middle or lower level boxers. Ronda Rousey probably won more money than many champion Women Boxers maybe more than even Claressa Shields.
@@MultiAxisDiscipline He is the former CEO/President. The UFC is currently ran by a group of board members. Dana still hold stock and is the face which is why he the one in front of the camera announcing fights, doing interviews etc.
Something Dana conveniently overlooked while referencing Oscar promoting Liddell-Tito was that the reason Liddell was desperate for money and came out of retirement was because Dana kicked him to the curb when he sold the UFC despite promising that he'd have a job with the UFC for the rest of his life. Basically, Liddell should've been laying back on an island enjoying the easy life with all the money he generated for the UFC, but instead Dana screwed him financially as a fighter and didn't even give him a nest egg pay out when he sold the company for huge money. And yet he tries to act like Oscar was the POS in the situation for trying to get him paid with a large split of the profits, but the public interest was no longer there with Liddell being past it.
@@demond2134 they didn't outbid the UFC. Dana was willing to make him the highest paid guy but it came with certitan things Francis had to do. Francis wasn't with that so he decided to leave.
@antoineLebrane most of the fighters in the USA are not American anymore.

This is why alot of MMA guys are going into boxing... The pay is MUCH better, even though MMA popularity is at an all time high... Dana pays more in advertising, all these other shows (slap match, ultimate fighter, etc) & his own endeavors instead of REALLY paying the athletes that are making him the money & they are taking all the risk. He really needs to pay the fighters what they really deserve. Then we can get fights like Jon Jones & Francis Ngannou
He doesn't. From an ethical standpoint sure but not from a business one. The UFC brand is so prestigious and popular. They can afford to lose big fighters (like Ngannou) and they won't skip a beat. If the fighters want to make more money it's up to them leverage the UFC brand to properly promote themselves. Costa, Masvidal, O'Malley... all guys who come to mind who have done a very good job of this
The only guys that can do that are guys that used the UFC to give themselves a name. That's why a Saudi Prince will waste $100M with no thought of making a profit just so he can watch two "champions" entertain him and his boys. These guys are running a business, not hosting fights for fun.
@5pazz I honestly would prefer MMA overall. But boxing will always be a sport that will represent and cater to the poor. Many fighters have risen from poverty as boxers and have inspired many. The UFC was created for white boys to feel masculine again, and it backfired on them cuz most of their top 5 are blacks lol.
Dana net worth is over 500 million dollars…so you can take every fighter from ufc 1 to now & it don’t come close to a quarter of the money Dana has made…just SAD!!!!!
Up untill the ultimate fighter season one the brothers said that it was there last 2million if it didn't succeed then they would all be broke including Dana. Up untill that point they sunk like 20 million into it. You don't just get to come in years later at the high and say you are worth 500 million give me some.
Some top UFC champions probably, but middle and lower level ufc fighters gets paid more than the middle and lower level boxers. Also UFC and other WMMA promotions pay more money for WMMA thats why some Women Boxers want to try WMMA.
No they arent. Just because the very best get paid less than than the very best of boxing doesnt mean anything. Everybody except the top of the top in boxing is broke.
Absolutely right while there are a few UFC fighters through personality or skill are so great they will get paid, 95% will just be cycled through and replaced..
@@carless5239 UFC thriving is exactly my point. There’s more than enough money. Promoters can fail all they want. It’s not about promoters, it’s about the fighters. It’s why boxers make tens of millions every fight. The boxing business is just as greedy if not more so, but the top boxers get paid WAY closer to their worth than UFC fighters.
Fighters should just unionize. A CEO is not your friend. They will always optimize for margin expansion at the behest of the actual labor force. Unionize and you'll solve a ton of problems almost instantly. Even the threat of unionization is enough to force action oftentimes
Unionize? So the top fighter will make as much as the bottom fighter?!? LOL! Good luck with that! Like Dana said, this isn't a job. It's an opportunity.
The NBA, NFL, NHL, etc are all unionized and the top guys do not have the same salaries as the bottom guys. Unionization is not communism. Is the way that Dana and the UFC better in some aspects than other sports? Definitely. Should he pay the fighters, who are the product people want to see and are a primary reason why the revenue is being generated more? Also definitely. The two arguments are not mutually exclusive.
He is worse his fighters cannot even have their own endorsement deals. Apparently, how does he get away with calling them? Independent contractors when they sign exclusive contracts in the UFC controls everything.
I used to have the same view Dana spoke about but after digging deeper and following Dana, I changed my view and actually grew a lot of respect for the guy. He’s a real one, a very rare breed.
Bruh, UFC fighters do one boxing match and they never go back to MMA. Wheres Francis? Wheres McGregor? They aren't concerned with getting in the ring for $250k when they are making $90 million for a boxing match.
How did Conor get the 100 million, it was Dana allowing it and from Conor getting famous from the UFC. If Conor was a boxer he’d earn almost nothing until he’s a title fighter
@@mikko3 and every single one of them are calling out boxers for a pay day. Sean O’Malley keeps doing it. Issy did it.

Honestly at first I advocated for more fighter pay, but the more I looked at it, Dana is right. Fighters on average get paid better than boxers and boxings way of doing business is antiquated and killing them slowly
its either have an established, trusted brand like the UFC or have chaos like boxing. i happen to agree that the UFC is a much better product because of the top down control.
Hey Unc, not with you on this interview. You wouldn't bring Diddy on the show after his assaulting a woman, but Dana White can sit down for a conversation. Make it make sense. Neither of them should get any positive press. Dana was caught on camera as well. Real men dont support cowards like these.
When the company was losing the fighters weren’t looking at giving up their pay. Now that the company is finally profitable they are all there with their hands out.
Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Deborah Lee Clark. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
I do think there needs to be a retirement plan for fighter in contracts.. certain percentage automatically goes into a fund for them later on. If a fighter has 10-15 fights for ufc they should get a set amount after say 50 years old it’s 2k-2500 a month plus insurance. Wouldn’t take much and would be very beneficial
Boxers are the only fight on the card. The undercard is unimportant. But like Dana says the ufc money is spread out from top to bottom. Whole card be fire.
Boxing in Saudi Arabia is smashing ufc to the ground! 20 fighters in boxing got paid more than 5 million each some over 10 million dollars each. UFC fighters get F all. 😂😂😂😂😂
Until they get tired of losing money and entertaining themselves. It's not like it's a legit business model with intentions of growing and running great fight cards.
@@mikko3 you're a fool. the only stat that matter is the split. every major sport is like 50 50 split of revenue between athletes and suits. ufc pays the athletes 15%. if you can't understand that simple math then, like most ufc fans, you're hopeless.
The sad part is the fighters who complain and still work for mr. Crabs. If you dont like the pay, the benefits, then quit. No one is forcing fighters to fight for peanuts.
I agree in the sense that the UFC is an organisation that is run as a proper business from the bottom to the top. There’s no such thing in boxing, it’s promoters and sanctioning bodies but there is no organisation , so it’s a bit like you go out fishing and hope to catch as much as possible each time but you are not responsible for the sea itself , the UFC owns a chunk of the sea and needs to make sure all aspects of the ecosystem function and are profitable , so it’s not possible to throw as much money into the fighter’s purses. It’s a different dynamic entirely. I love boxing by the way , so I’m not even trying to defend Dana.
He’s right, The business will continue to go on because it will always be crash outs willing to fight. Boxers however seen fighters in the last get used and abused for decades.
Ngannou made more in Fury and AJ fight than all of his UFC paycheck.
Yup, over 30M just for those 2 fights(Boxing).
What about his cards now .. lets see his fighters on his card
Because Tyson Fury ducked the real boxing contenders so Ngannou was lucky because Tyson Fury was champion, if AJ or Usyk was the champion, they would never fight Ngannou, AJ fought Ngannou after Ngannou almost beat Fury and become a ranked contender, only Tyson Fury did that nonsense by fighting unranked Ngannou, same Tyson Fury fought Chisora 3rd time despite beating him 2 times before, Tyson Fury simply wanted the easy fights and disrespected other boxers.
That came from oil money not from ppv sales
That's right... but he would have never got those fights if not for the UFC... so be appreciative
Man do u see how packed those arenas be at the ufc fights? They should definitely make waaaaaaaaayy more money 💰
It’s hundreds of not thousands of people that put those things together
They also put on cards with tons of great fights. Boxing has maybe two good NAME fights on a card and typically only a few fights in general.
It's especially shameful for White to severely underpay athletes compared to every other major sport because they're not just out there hitting a ball. They're trading blows and many are left with CTE yet aren't even set for life afterward despite generating huge money for Dana.

Jake Paul of course, dude's terrified of actual boxers lol
@@ghostwalk2446not even a real boxer and still makes wayyy more than ufc bums
Ryan garcia calling out sugar sean?
Clearly Dana is the Don King of MMA… he keeps the majority of the revenue
He is worse his fighters cannot even have their own endorsement deals. Apparently, how does he get away with calling them? Independent contractors when they sign exclusive contracts in the UFC controls everything.
Boxers are independent. UFC is a league like the NFL or NBA. You can’t compare the two. Also, look at the actual numbers.
@@wheelchairmanjon UFC fighters have alot of deals and endorsements
Nah, he's worse. King was considered a crook for giving a fighter half of the $15M purse he was promised. Dana screws fighters worse every day lol
Boxers call out ufc guys because they know that's where the money is???😂😂😂😂😂 come on son
No way he beleives that
@@mac3176he had to be drunk
I stopped training mma when I saw how little they are paid and seeing the uFC take away walk out/fight gear sponsors from the fighters.
Hope you went to boxing, now if you are lucky you might get a food coupon as a pay
I’m a boxing fan but MMA is a great sport. Fighters should know their worth especially in such a punishing sport.
Yea by KOing Dana everyday till he pays properly nothing will change for those fighters.
How much does Dana gets paid?
I used to have the same view Dana spoke about but after digging deeper and following Dana, I changed my view and actually grew a lot of respect for the guy. He’s a real one, a very rare breed.
Lmao this guy is a clown
Definitely is and I'm shocked he's allowed to slave these dudes
Never liked dana white. Scumbag.
Bruh, UFC fighters do one boxing match and they never go back to MMA. Wheres Francis? Wheres McGregor? They aren't concerned with getting in the ring for $250k when they are making $90 million for a boxing match.
How did Conor get the 100 million, it was Dana allowing it and from Conor getting famous from the UFC. If Conor was a boxer he’d earn almost nothing until he’s a title fighter
Congratz you named 2 people, at the moment UFC has 700 fighters under contract and everyone of them is eating and getting paid
@@mikko3 and every single one of them are calling out boxers for a pay day. Sean O’Malley keeps doing it. Issy did it. Please them fighters are making no money and that came from the fighters themselves. Even Ronda made more money in WWE over a 2 year period than she did her whole MMA career. Stop with the cap sir.
@@jonnygobang87 Tell me a fighter with Angela Hills record who has never fought for a title and makes +100k a fight. For some reason you want Angela Hill to fight for food coupons.
@@mikko3 stop it already. It’s a proven FACT that MMA don’t make even CLOSE to what boxers make. Stop trying to bring up random fighters and random topics trying to prove a point you can EASILY google. Just stop it 😂.
I'm going to come back to the comment section in about a week to see how many of y'all buying this explanation
This man just answered every question with the same answer
That journeymen comment was a shot at the Diaz brothers and journalist comment was a shot at Ariel.
Ngonnou looks like a genius after listening to Dana's 🐴 💩
As long as UFC fighters never unionize it never changes. Kobe went to a fighters retreat and indirectly tried to tell them.
Imagine if every fighter fought out their contracts and left for the PFL?
Pfl isn’t gonna pay millions for each fighter lmaoooo
@@n1troz_neither do ufc 😂
@@JD-te6vm exactly that’s my point , not every fighter is with one million +
How do you start off with the position that fighters should be paid more considering what's at stake and completely abandon it?
My brother Danny Barlow just started his UFC journey .. Remember this comment 😤
Shout out to Memphis
Boxing is alive and booming right now !
Because Saudis are willing to lose 100 million per fight
Yt men always complain about paying ppl more. Lol we all been in the work force. Their go to excuse its business
Facts
i love hearing progress
5:08 Boxers NEVER call out UFC fighters. Probably the worst lie Dana told in this whole interview lmfao
Come on dana
Honestly at first I advocated for more fighter pay, but the more I looked at it, Dana is right. Fighters on average get paid better than boxers and boxings way of doing business is antiquated and killing them slowly
Dana just spent 16$ MILLION to advertise on the Vegas sphere .. could’ve divided that up to the fighters what a 🤡
its either have an established, trusted brand like the UFC or have chaos like boxing. i happen to agree that the UFC is a much better product because of the top down control.
Exactly.
Hey Unc, not with you on this interview. You wouldn't bring Diddy on the show after his assaulting a woman, but Dana White can sit down for a conversation. Make it make sense. Neither of them should get any positive press. Dana was caught on camera as well. Real men dont support cowards like these.
Diddy and Dana White not even in the same stratosphere. Stop it.
Dana White is the only one that makes real money from the UFC off the backs of the fighters that get underpaid
Most of you complaining in the comments, pirate most of the ufc shows.
For real
You should. We can’t keep saying support the fighters when Dana makes more each show then all the fighters on the card
He been saying for the last 10 years that boxing is going out of business but like larry merchant said
Once nothing will kill boxing
You right because Saudis are willing to lose 100 million per fight
Shannon glazing Dana's pole
By asking him interview questions?😂
Man some of y'all say the dumbest things imaginable 😂
Well if you noticed that, then you were glazing too
@@haijihunt5057to be fare Shannon let him get away with blatant lies and didn't say a word
When the company was losing the fighters weren’t looking at giving up their pay. Now that the company is finally profitable they are all there with their hands out.
no way shannon has a true white guy on. thats wild
Johnny Manziel, Ric Flair ???
“They know that where the money is” that’s hilarious
Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Deborah Lee Clark. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
What opportunities are there in the market, and how do I profit from it?
You can make a lot of money from the
market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.
I would really like to know how this actually works.
All you need is a good capital and the
service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.
I love how none of these boxing fans can argue anything Dana said. 😂😂😂
Dana says so much yet he says so little
Nobody in boxing is calling out a ufc fighter unless it’s Jake Paul lmao
Dana is a snake smh. Pay your fighters
I am a fan o boxing and he is absolutely right about everything he said and thats why boxing is in the shape its in
Most UFC fighters don't know their worth. Never seen any of them with endorsements. Dana White is a scammer
You literally do...
Shannon ive been following u since the cornfield comment! 😂
UFC pay is horrible!
🤡
Dana basically saying im vince McMahon to bad go 2 our competitors
All they gotta do is is call him on his bs
Lol nobody likes Oscar fr 😭
Oscar is Kool. I like him .!! That my guy
Oscar is chill. Exposing Dana lies
The people do not understand how the business works. You have to make people happy. If there isnt enough money, people are not going to get paid.
The people in these comments are more up in arms about UFC fighter pay than veteran and active duty military pay 😂😂 that’s ridiculous
That's why we have the freedom of choice. 😂 I saw the military didn't pay, so I didn't sign up. Simple solution smh
Probably because this video is about UFC fighter pay than veteran and active duty military pay.
Salute And Respect 👑
UFC blows boxing away and f the haters, Dana’s brilliant!
Boxing on its worst days will always be bigger and way more respected than mma
I do think there needs to be a retirement plan for fighter in contracts.. certain percentage automatically goes into a fund for them later on. If a fighter has 10-15 fights for ufc they should get a set amount after say 50 years old it’s 2k-2500 a month plus insurance. Wouldn’t take much and would be very beneficial
Could listen to Dana all day, constantly simple and bold
ufc is into making its share holders money while boxing is into making its employees money simple way to look at it
It’s simple,You don’t pay your fighters enough,we’re as you walk away with millions 😳🏴
Can’t front that was a dope interview 💯
Pay the fighters no excuses . Boxing is the number 1 combat sport proven like it or hate it
Boxers never call out UFC fighters to box!!! NEVER!!!! Boxers are just more than happy to accept the challenge.
Boxers are the only fight on the card. The undercard is unimportant. But like Dana says the ufc money is spread out from top to bottom. Whole card be fire.
Boxing in Saudi Arabia is smashing ufc to the ground! 20 fighters in boxing got paid more than 5 million each some over 10 million dollars each. UFC fighters get F all. 😂😂😂😂😂
LOL it's going to be like the LIV golf league. Making all that money ain't no one watching 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Until they get tired of losing money and entertaining themselves. It's not like it's a legit business model with intentions of growing and running great fight cards.
@@happyjemini They have enough money to blow and more. The House of Saud in that country is worth over a trillion dollars.
They are literally just losing money, lol. Didnt you hear what Dana said?
Show me a boxer of Angela Hill's caliber who makes +100k per fight
@@mikko3 you're a fool. the only stat that matter is the split. every major sport is like 50 50 split of revenue between athletes and suits. ufc pays the athletes 15%. if you can't understand that simple math then, like most ufc fans, you're hopeless.
Shay Shay about to interview De La Hoya next watch lol
Guaranteeeeeeeeee
That’d be cool! But then again DeLaHoya is a total bullshitter
The sad part is the fighters who complain and still work for mr. Crabs. If you dont like the pay, the benefits, then quit. No one is forcing fighters to fight for peanuts.
Shannan is Brilliant!!! Crossing over and getting more diverse interviewees. Shannan is soaring ✈️
never heard an active fighter complain about money. alex pereira fighting 3 times a year, never heard him complain.
he can't stupid. dana bans the ones the complain. and a lot have. garbrandt, jones, masvidal, etc etc
I agree in the sense that the UFC is an organisation that is run as a proper business from the bottom to the top. There’s no such thing in boxing, it’s promoters and sanctioning bodies but there is no organisation , so it’s a bit like you go out fishing and hope to catch as much as possible each time but you are not responsible for the sea itself , the UFC owns a chunk of the sea and needs to make sure all aspects of the ecosystem function and are profitable , so it’s not possible to throw as much money into the fighter’s purses. It’s a different dynamic entirely.
I love boxing by the way , so I’m not even trying to defend Dana.
They fail because they cant get the fighters because he got them under contract 😂😂😂😂 he didnt tell yall that.
Tell dem boxers to test they luck going into da octagon 😭😭
Dana 🙌🏼🙌🏼 forget all these haters thank you for what you do!
He’s right, The business will continue to go on because it will always be crash outs willing to fight. Boxers however seen fighters in the last get used and abused for decades.
Dana is crazy. He is running a GREAT business, but the profit share with the fighters when compared to revenue the UFC makes isn't there.
700 people are getting paid + 400 workers in the UFC but you want one guys to make 50 million and the other 1000 people getting food coupons
“Guys that would have been considered journeyman” wow look up Glen Johnson and Mickey Ward.
Remember guys, getting your head bashed in, catching staph and sleeping in your car for the chance to get a $10l/$10k contract is an “opportunity.”
