newtotheinterweb - Yeah I'd like to see what the rest if the guys on that card are paid in comparison. I'll bet most are on less than the 6k/6k UFC minimum.
When one guy takes that sort of money, it generally comes at the expense of the rest.
Lol! Take that "only Floyd makes money in boxing" shit out of here! Boxers on Showtime are making a million dollars per fight.. 
MDubz - You guys are funny. Floyd is one man making this money, no one else in boxing gets that and no one else on that card sniffs it. Handing out a big pay day to the last Mohican of the boxing world once a year compared to Dana paying a stable of guys on multiple ppvs isn't even comparable. Don't speak on subjects if you aren't even going to bother to be educated on it beforehand.

TRUBoxingHeadz: Boxing pay checks: Mares earned 925K, Gonzalez 100K (will make alot more now) Leo Santa Cruz 157K and former Champ Terr…
This is from a SHOWTIME card. Not.ppv.
If guys on Showtime broadcast are making that kind of money and aren't household names , what should a headliner on network TV get ? I'm not a TV exec so I don't know exactly what the ROI would be , but I would assume network TV would generate much larger revenue stream ? So if a boxer was fighting on network TV would he get higher purse than on Showtime ? What's the reason mma fighters aren't compensated the same way ? Is the distribution of boxing much higher in other markets which is driving up the income ? 
Can someone in the know find what the top 20 boxers made in 2012? It would be interesting to compare it to the top 20 MMA guys since Floyd is an outlier.

Haye got £22 mill for Klitschko and £10 mill for Audley Harrison.
Audley got £2 million for the Haye fight. lol @ "Anderson Silva money"
Povetkin v Wlad is going to do some silly numbers in Moscow.
Ttt

Lets not forget the pound is nearly double the dollar right now too. So 5mil pounds is $9mil
YukiNakai'sEye - Once the sport of MMA is bigger and these fighters are household names then they will have the ability to promote the fights themselves.
If Jones vs Silva was a stand alone fight, not promoted under the UFC brand I think it would still do good PPV buys.
