Athletistic/ MMA. UFC sports organization president Dana White has explained why mixed martial arts fighters earn an order of magnitude less than boxers.

“Everyone wants more money. One of the biggest problems in boxing is that these guys get overpaid every time. In the boxing industry, organizers want to get as much money as possible. from the public and then get rid of it for three years. You can’t rely on that business strategy in a league like the UFC, you can’t support 750 contracted fighters who have to take care of their families with that attitude,” he said. White said.

White’s organization has been repeatedly criticized for its low fees. One of the main critics is blogger Jake Paul, who began his professional boxing career in 2020. Paul has repeatedly said that White was unfair to many fighters performing under the auspices of the UFC, awarding them fees too low.
