Dana White is stating that UFC 189 will do a gate of $7 million which would eclipse the biggest gate which would eclipse Silva-Sonnen II on July 7, 2012. The event is headlined by Jose Aldo defending his Featherweight belt against Conor McGregor
UFC 148 which was the rematch between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen drew $6,901,655 according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The paid attendance was 13,600 at the MGM Grand.
White is in the midst of a world tour for UFC 189 which will headline the annual International Fight Week this July. The tour is chronicled through the ongoing “UFC Embedded” online features highlighting the tour from the perspectives of Aldo and McGregor. In interviews, including this one with MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani, White indicates that the gate will be $7 million.
Payout Perspective:
Let’s get this out of the way. Yes, the gate would pale in comparison to the $74 million gate that is expected at the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight in the same venue. However, if we are strictly to view this in terms of MMA gates, it would be the second biggest to UFC 129 in Toronto. Of course, the UFC is spending an unprecedented amount of money on this tour. While there is no public dollar figure on the investment, the private jets, expensive hotels and extensive traveling would make it a pricey venture. Still, the promotion has been well done and if it means a big gate and PPV buy rate for essentially a Featherweight title, it is worth it.
LOL this is so ridiculous. Dana white is trying to drum up this event as some mega event because Pacquiou vs mayweather is drowing them. Oh wow it might beat their gate record by a whopping 100k. No way on gods green earth this beats their crappy record anyway. sonnen vs silva 2 was much more anticipated. The average guy on the street doesnt even know these guys. they are good fighters though.
Mayweather vs Pac is expected to have a 60 MILLION dollar gate!!!!! Check fuckin mate
Haha. I love these delusional numbers thrown out there by Arum that these idiotic trolls believe. What morons. Not to mention that is one boxing fight that will never happen again and the state of boxing outside of this fight is in complete disarray and is desperately attempting to use this fight to gather attention for other fights that no one cares about.
Fagbusiness getting nervous about this big Aldo-McGregor fight, realizing he will have a new nickname soon.
Finally the UFc is hyping and promoting a fight the way they should have years and years ago! Instead of wasting tons of money on some bullshit global expansion. Funny how they are using the boxing model for this event. The UFC is desperate and you can see it in their sudden change in actually getting behind a fighter the way they are now. Its sad that they have not done this for the dozens and dozens of fighters that could have been great, a lot of it is just plain stupidity and lack of personality of the fighters. I have no doubt this event will do well and the numbers are about right. I am excited for this one, Aldo needs to win definitively or it will go to Connor. We will really see if Connor is who he says he is. Connor could be the next GSP or bigger if he is really that good! If Connor loses it will show that he was not ready and the UFC pushed him too soon, but they are desperate, I would have waited and given the kid a few more fights before Aldo. We shall see.
D dont be a hater lol learn to live with it! Boxing is going to have a huge night! all the numbers are correct, there will be more money out of this fight then even before, Dana and the UFC are studying this fight with a microscope!! They are taking notes believe it! hahaha
I think Sal has found his new crush…..Connor McGregor. HAHAHA!! Homo.
Sal, your delusions are growing. It is very funny to watch you contradict yourself left and right. Then making absurd claims with zero evidence to verify them other than your homo overlord, Bob Arum. HAHAHAHA!
bahahah D is desperate! Hey D=Dumb ass! do the numbers 74 million of 15 attendance hahahah its spot on you retard! Connor is a natural! anyone with a brain can see that. But you have no experience so you wouldn’t know a good star with potential. hahaha a boxing thread again??? All my claims are realistic, you just candle handle hearing things you cant google hahahah you fool D= the google retard generation, if its not on google it doesn’t exist hahahahah Look how pathetic your life is, you probably have a college degree but you are still a loser with no real source of income or a real job hahahah have fun being a loser your whole life, im sure mommy and daddy pay all your bills hahahaha
D/aka “i love ding ding”- If in fact Boxing is dead and the ufc is soo strong why on gods green earth can they have one event that clears at least 1.2 million? i mean they are bigger right? then why cant they clear 1.2 million? its a simple question. by the way mayweather will have a rematch with pac in the fall. there is way too much money on the lineto not have one. Mayweather clears 200 million in 6 months. Pac clears 130 million. Jon Jones brags about a 1 million dollar endorsment deal. BAHAHA. D needs to get ready for his new nickname in 2016. I’m going with I LOVE DING DING, but i could always change it up. no way UFC clears 5 million ppv buys this year. there lucky if they do 4.
haha UFC gates have been going down down so they have been buying there own seats hahaha Dana will buy all the seats for 189 if it doesnt sell out, just like the Rousey fight. The UFC needs to do some good gates, I see it, the UFC sees it but morons like D don’t, but you cant google behind the scene information hahahah
D doesn’t know this because hes too stupid.
@FightBusiness
FYI UFC 189 is almost sold out already. From looking at the available seats left on Ticketmaster, it looks like there’s less than 1000 left.
Awesome news, UFC is killing it this year.
What an awesome summer its gonna be, Floyd/Manny then a loaded UFC 187, then Mexico card then McGregor/Aldo.
Cant wait.
I dont know what it is about this site that attracts the dumbest posters in combat sports.
This site would be so much better if Sal, Fight Business and D were IP Banned cause they are all fucking morons.
Nothing but trolls baiting each other into hating mma and boxing.
Shut up already, seriously.
nobody is getting nervous, neither sport is dying, no Sal you dumb shit UFC isnt buying tickets to sell their events out.
Holy fuck you people are retarded. Its embarrassing.
Sorry Jason I know its not you but holy fuck your site has the dumbest posters in history, I know I already told you that and you agreed.
Watching Sal rant like an incoherent moron is the most amusing part of all this. He is so delusional he convinces himself of his fictional numbers that he pulls out of his ass. When he is proven wrong and someone calls him out on his bullshit he just makes up more lies and rants and raves about Indian boys. Very alarming behavior.
Fagbusiness, this is literally like the 20th time you have just made up a figure in your brain about a ufc related statistic, while all you had to do is look up the actual number on this website you massive idiot. UFC 100 did 1.5m buys.
Your assumption about 2 Mayweather-Pacquaio fights is unrealistic unless Mayweather loses. He wouldn’t want to risk fighting Manny 2x at his current age. Floyd wants that last fight to be an easy one so he can retire undefeated. You’ve got 1 big fight left. Enjoy it. By the way, those figures you through out there about their pay is so beyond idiotic. You guys just take the words of sociopathic promoters. I’ve got some news for you….they lie!
Do you realize how much of an idiot you are? You are saying the ufc will barely clear 4m ppv buys? At the rate they are going, they are going to hit 6m very easily. Your only prayer along with Leon, is nearly every ppv from here on out gets a replacement headliner. They are almost half way to 5m and we are only in March with the two biggest fights of the year coming up in May and July and a likely big MSG show at the end of the year. This may be their biggest year ever ppv wise when it comes to revenue. Haha. Get ready for Fagbusiness.
*The blue book actually has it at 1.6m*
Geez look who just ranted about nothing. Oh and chris piss off. Btw ufc held the entire. 300 level at the staples center for rousey. So they do hold sections and buy their own tickets ass clown. This site is just great. Jason posts interesting stuff. I call bullshit when I see it and the entire ufc machine is based on lies and bs. Wait till the law suit comes to lite. All you morons will see. Haha. D is laughable. And delusional
One of these days ill post a show settlement and you guys will piss your pants. Hahaha.
Sal is presently accusing chestnuts of being lazy. Haha.
Sal, you are a boxing fan who hates mma, doesnt watch mma and does nothing but shit on mma.
Atleast be honest about why you come here.
I used to come here nad post here all the time a few years ago, now I remember why I stopped. It was nothing but Tops and Simple Sampson doing the same thing.
I’m guessing Fight Business, Sal, that Pink whatever his name is, sure you guys are the same people.
Dont even talk about what topic, just UFC is in the headline you know the same 4 people will come to shit on whatever it is.
D-good lord, when i said why cant the UFC clear an event with at least 1.2 million PPV’s D sites UFC 100 which occurred in 2009! I mean now you idiot! back then it was a fad and lesnar was a novelty fighter since he came from the WWE. name me one fight that can clear 1.2 million views right now. not some dream match up like jones/velasquez which still couldnt do it but 2 stars in the same division. you cant name it.
Chris, D started with all the name calling. as did Dana white and a ton of MMA fighters. All this boxing is one dimensional crap as well doesnt help. mma is multi dimensional because the ass sniffers suck at the ultimate dimension. so they make up these stupid rules. lets go to the floor but dont kick me knee me etc. you stay on the floor because a striker cant do that. its also barbaric. you dont mass commercialize choking and limb snapping
Hahaha. Fagbusiness, I call you out on your bullshit then you alter your argument like the tard you are. Okay, so if you want to use that type of analogy, when was the last time boxing hit over a million buys? The UFC has hit over a million more recently than boxing did.
Fagbusiness you are delusional and you didn’t bother reading what he said. He pointed out very clearly that years ago the same trolls who have been acting like retards on here are still here running their mouths. I never called out these morons until it was to the point where all the comments were these twats trolling on here.
By the way, mma fighters don’t talk shit about boxing, boxers talk shit about mma. Again, you are just trolling like they are. Go to bad left hook, you won’t see trolls there like you do here. Boxers and boxing fans hate the reality that evolution is setting in and mma is the leading combat sport now.
Boxers are homo huggers, they nibble at each others necks while in the clinch. Boxers stick with stand up hand throwing only with 10oz gloves, because they can’t fight for real, they need tons of rules. MMA started with zero rules, UFC 1 & 2 had none. Who won those? Art Jimmerson sure didn’t.
Crying chris….hahahahaha.long time….ur back…welcome hahahaha
Actually D, boxing has had more PPVs with over 1million buys in recent history, going by whatever timescale you want to use to measure boxing always wins.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay-per-view#Boxing
And if boxing ppv’s were priced as low as the UFC’s they would’ve had significantly more. By any metric we use, it appears that MMA already reached the height of it’s popularity 5 years ago. There is still the possibility that they will match their 2013 ppv numbers, but the average number of buys per event is still considerably lower than when they were at their peak.
Hahaha. Actually “Gambino” aka one of the daily trolls on here using a pseudonym, you are an idiot. The last boxing ppv that went over a million buys was the Mayweather-Canelo fight which took place back in September of 2013. The Weidman-Silva ppv did over 1m ppvs and was in December of 2013. Unless you are confused about how a calendar works. Also, the UFC still had more revenue from ppv in 7 out of the last 8 years despite the prices and again, the only reason it happened last year was because of the unprecedented rash of injuries.
You don’t have any concept of metrics what so ever. You cherry pick statistics as bad as the rest of the tards on here. 5 years ago, they had very little free content, now they have tons of shows. 5 years ago, they didn’t have a network deal. Plus, this year is on track to eclipse those peak numbers in terms of ppv revenue despite the fact that they have double the events they were having then. So that would prove your dumbass wrong again. Nice alias idiot.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ufc-188-already-sold-ufc-189-well-way-060914425–mma.html
Wow. UFC having a great year!! This could be their biggest year ever in terms of revenue!
Eat that shit trolls!
So Fight Business you just admitted you dont like mma and come to shit on it any chance you get.
Atleast your now being honest about why you come here.
Maybe you arent a good enough boxing fan to have real discussions about the sport on boxing sites, probably got laughed off sites like Bad Left Hook so your time spent online is on mma sites shitting on it.
I’ll bet my left nut you have a SHerdog account and shit on mma there, probably Bloodyelbow, yeah I’m sure you have one there.
I know Tops does, seen him on Bloodyelbow shitting on mma.
LOL if it wasnt so dam sad it would be kind of funny.
Whats funny is even the owner of this site thinks you guys are idiots.
D- you keep saying trolls but this website posts boxing info also. this is not just an mma website despite its name. so there is no trolling going on. i’m here to learn more about the business of both sports. i dont go on bloody elbow or sheerdog because their mma sites.
Hey fagbusiness, this website is called mma payout. Over 90% of the articles are mma articles. You don’t come here for the boxing articles, you come here to troll on the mma ones because you are deeply insecure about the fact that mma has taken over the market share. You even post frequently about how angry you are that Dana White criticizes boxing.
I never mentioned bloody elbow or sherdog, I mentioned bad left hook- you won’t comment there because it isn’t a mma website.
D- the last fight that did over 1 million views in Boxing was Maywather vs canelo which broke the money record when it did 2.2 million just less than 2 years ago. so shut your face. it just happened. mayweather vs madaina 2 just missed the mark in september with 925k and the ppv was 70 bucks.
BJJ did good at first because no one even considered trying such stupid shit before like choking and mounting. its not manly. the moment you go to the ground society deemed that shit gay. you’ve handed your opponent your pride. its also barbaeric. By the way i noticed they also tried this shit on a padded surface. how convenient. within 1 year shamrock pulled a draw and within 5 the Gracies were irrelevant. its not hard to learn. also how many elite kickboxers and judo guys really went in there? were there any gold medal wrestlers outside of severn who almost one the thing. They learned it quick and then started changing the rules because if you went no holds barred no one would have a career. bas rutten had few fights because there was few rules. just take a 2 year crash course and you can learn enough bjj to keep it standing up. you can study boxing for 15 years and still be a bum.
fyi- 1/3 of the articles here are boxing related. if boxing had a financial website i would go there. there is just no such website. and its because of stupid comments by guys like jon jones “mma has more millionaires than boxers” that i feel compelled to out their lies
Sal and tops are pathetic losers
There still are some tickets available for 189, but it will definitely sell out as they get closer to fight night. What will make this event a record gate is the price per ticket. Price point appears to be the highest yet for a UFC event at the MGM Grand. From comparing seat availability from pre-sale/fightpass to public sale, very little has changed with respect to availability. So likely most of the tickets were purchased prior by other sources.
Jason, I’m curious if you are familiar with the way event tickets are purchased for these types of events. For example, the mayweather fight, media indicate only a handful of tickets will be made available for purchase by the general public. So there are obviously other sources purchasing the tickets prior to public availability. Based on what I have seen from ticket availability from the UFC event, it appears to be selling by the same method.
Again, you’ve altered the argument. Not to mention even with that 2.2m buy show, the ufc outdrew boxing that year in ppv buys and revenue.
“BJJ did good at first because no one even considered trying such stupid shit before like choking and mounting. its not manly. the moment you go to the ground society deemed that shit gay. ”
No, the moment the fight hit the ground, the boxers got their asses violently kicked and had to come up with an excuse to save face- so they call it gay. Meanwhile, while sweating with their shirts off, they dry hump each other in the clinch and bite each other’s ears and neck.
“By the way i noticed they also tried this shit on a padded surface. how convenient. within 1 year shamrock pulled a draw and within 5 the Gracies were irrelevant. its not hard to learn.”
Your analogies are so idiotic. First off, the surface is meaningless. Go watch the Gracies in action fights. They are all over the place- streets, the beach, a gym, etc. They always won because their opponents didn’t know how to grapple as you’ve acknowledged. Also, claiming it isn’t hard to learn by using Gracie-Shamrock II and claiming that proved how simple it was is so stupid. First off, Shamrock already had a solid grappling background. He wrestled on an amateur level and was training in shoot fighting for years. He also outweighed Gracie by 40+lbs, was on steroids and didn’t prove anything other than the fact that he could survive in the guard if he didn’t do anything. That was also almost 2 years later and the Gracies weren’t irrelevant, you are just really dumb.
“also how many elite kickboxers and judo guys really went in there?”
Judo wouldn’t support your argument because it is submission grappling. As for kickboxing, there were very decorated kickboxers who tried to convert and failed miserably, it happened in the 90s and early 2000s in Pride as well. Not to mention there was a well ranked boxer named Art Jimmerson who was humiliated at UFC 1 by Gracie.
“were there any gold medal wrestlers outside of severn who almost one the thing.”
Dan Severn never medaled in the Olympics, never appeared at the Olympics, but he was an All American, elite, amateur wrestler & an alternate for the Olympics who had about 80-90lbs on Gracie. Think about how illogical your argument is there and again, he wasn’t a striker. Kevin Jackson was a gold medalist by the way and how quickly did it take Frank Shamrock to armbar him.
“They learned it quick and then started changing the rules because if you went no holds barred no one would have a career. bas rutten had few fights because there was few rules. just take a 2 year crash course and you can learn enough bjj to keep it standing up. you can study boxing for 15 years and still be a bum.”
Again, more of your ignorance. No one learned it quick. It took years for people to realize how to deal with a decorated bjj player. Not to mention, the rules did not change in his favor. Did you ever hear the Gracies talk? You clearly didn’t follow the sport and know nothing about them if you believe they wanted rules. Royce Gracie requested special rules for everything. And when I say special rules, I mean he wanted none. He wanted no time limits and wanted to allow anything. The reason being is grapplers like Shamrock would just sit in his guard, stall and then ride out a decision.
If you can take a crash course into take down defense, why did Kevin Randleman take down Rutten for the entire fight when they fought and take a violent beating for roughly 20 minutes? Why did he get submitted a number of times in Pancrase by Shamrock and others? By the way, learning bjj won’t help you defend takedowns, training with college level wrestlers will over years of training. Give me 1 example of a kickboxer who didn’t dedicate years of training to takedown defense who had any success stopping takedowns. You can’t. It isn’t as simple as you think. You are really ignorant. You’ve never stepped foot in a mma gym in your life based on that statement. You can study mma for 15 years and still be a bum as well.
You are such an idiot. Don’t you have any shame?
Again, you’ve altered the argument. Not to mention even with that 2.2m buy show, the ufc outdrew boxing that year in ppv buys and revenue.

“fyi- 1/3 of the articles here are boxing related. if boxing had a financial website i would go there. there is just no such website. and its because of stupid comments by guys like jon jones “mma has more millionaires than boxers” that i feel compelled to out their lies”
HAHAHA!!! Delusional idiot. Not even close. It is less than 10%. Go do some research idiot.
Boxing does have a financial website idiot. I gave it to you- it is bad left hook. They report numbers about boxing as often as mmapayout does. You just like trolling, idiot. You just proved it with your latter comment about Jones, clearly indicating you don’t care about the financials, you just want to troll because you are a retard like Sal.
You are one dumb fuckin creature. bad left hook rarely talks about detailed financial information. anyway i’ll check it out. i’ve never hear of it before. look sakurabu beat all those bitches. spare me with how tough it is. tank abbot was considered a damn contender during those years and knimo beat royce up so bad he couldnt continue and that was his first fight of the day. the only reason why kimo didnt destroy him was because royce was pulling his hair like a faggot the whole fight. BAHAHA. wow what a death move. maurice smith was a studd back then also he was a kickboxer. BJJ was pretty irrelevant 5 years into the game. people just kept studying it because it became part of the game.
Hahaha. You are just too stupid to comprehend anything. Badlefthook’s focus may not be on financial information, but they do report the same information on boxing that is reported here.
I actually enjoy reading your nonsense, because it’s like watching a retarded kid going around in circles contradicting himself left and right. You tell me I’m dumb, you say badlefthook rarely talks about detailed financial information, then you say anyway, I’ll check it out. HAHAHAHAHA!!! You are too stupid to realize what you are saying at any given time.
Sakuraba beat all of those bitches? Who the Gracies? So? What’s your point? Sakuraba was the best grappler at that time. You act like he was a kickboxer ko’ing them as they shot in for a takedown. Tank Abbot was never considered a contender, he has a career sub .500 record and every time he fought someone with a good grappling background he lost. Your ramblings about Kimo just solidify how delusional you are, it is very obvious you are just an angry little homosexual boxing fan. Royce beat Kimo because he was a better grappler. It is insane to take the angle you are taking. Royce was outweighed by 70lbs of steroids and still won the fight. But this takes the cake:
” maurice smith was a studd back then also he was a kickboxer. BJJ was pretty irrelevant 5 years into the game. people just kept studying it because it became part of the game.”
First off, Maurice Smith was never a great fighter. He just figured out Mark Coleman. He wouldn’t have been considered even top 5 at the time. His career record is below .500. He lost to nearly every good fighter he ever fought and here is the kicker genius- he sucked shit in mma UNTIL he started training with Frank Shamrock and Kosaka and after years, learned a solid bjj game. Go watch his fight against Coleman, was he stuffing takedowns? FUCK NO! He wore Mark out in his guard. He won due to exhaustion. He lost to so many fighters with grappling backgrounds it is silly. Also, to address your other clueless comment, bjj is still relevant today, let alone back then. Anyone who would make a comment like that has no idea what mma is.
Stop taking it in the butt, boxing boy.
i just figured it out. D loves MMA because he gets to see men dry humping each other and he loves the acronoym BJJ. I figured it out. BAHAHAHA
bahahha looks like the UFC can’t talk about real issues, the truth or fighter money hahahah Dana is a pussy who lies hahahah
http://www.mmamania.com/2015/3/29/8307117/dana-white-to-mma-reporter-after-asking-jose-aldo-about-pay-youre-a-dick
hahaha Dana prancing around like he’s a big league, but proves he and the UFC are still the little league!!
I already realized fagbusiness likes boxing because their have been openly gay homosexual champions, not to mention the bigger boxer on the planet loves dry humping his opponents in the clinch. They don’t call him Floyd Gayweather for nothing. HAHAHAHA!! FAGBUSINESS coming this Fall!!
Saldaqueef back to make his normal rounds. Uncle Bobbi Arum’s got him trolling overdrive because he realizes how bleak the future of boxing is. HAHAHAHA!!
Hahahaha crying Chris is back because of may and pac big big fight…big money…so he is helping sinking ufc hahaha….still whining i see…
is that all you got Tops? You dont even address anything I say you just do your usual hahahah dumb shit cause you arent intelligent enough to say anything real.
Also not sure what you mean about back because of Manny/Floyd?
Manny/Floyd is gonna be huge, gonna be fun. wish it was 5 years ago cause I think Manny had a legit chance to win years ago but its still gonna be a huge event. second only to the superbowl this year.
Thats awesome. See unlike you i’m a fight fan, I love combat sports. I watch boxing, mma, kickboxing, ncaa wrestling, Metamoris bjj.
I also like to see all combat sports doing well cause it shows there is interest in fighting, in all fighting. MMA getting the Fox deal and doing well and showing there is an interest and networks saw they can get good demo numbers actually helped get boxing back on network tv.
Combat sports is better when they are all doing good business and right now UFC is killing it, boxing has Floyd/Manny which is huge, PBC doing well in its debut on network and Spike. Gonna force HBO/Showtime to step their game up.
UFC/Boxing bringing good fights to free tv, network and cable, not just HBO/SHowtime. I love it.
What I dont get is the constant need for you all to keep trying to run down mma and boxing.
Its cool, I’ve said my peace. I’ll go to sites that have fans, people who enjoy fighting and enjoy talking about fighting which is def not something that happens on this site.
Look forward to your response of hahahah Chris is crying, cause you clearly have nothing better to say.
bahahaha look at Dana he spouts off about money when is serves him then he treats his fighters like high school kids, hey dumb ass is pro sports. hahaha look what a clown he is. hahahahah SHHHHHH don’t ever bring up false numbers, bullshit pay or disgruntle fighters around Dana hahaha Scalpers buying all the tickets for 189 hahahahah
Sal just proved he knows nothing about ticket brokering or the secondary market. Hey fuck face, scalpers don’t buy tickets unless they anticipate they can resell them at a profit. Point being, they are anticipating a high demand. This happens for nearly every major sporting or concert event.
Idiot.
bahahah thanks for the info D DUGHHHHHHHHHHH what a tool.
Plenty of rooms at MGM for july 11th king rooms for $300.00 bahahaha No rooms for May 2 lmao!!! Scalpers buy tickets for anything you fool. 50 bucks outside on the street night of the fight hahahahaha Floyd making 120 million plus and Dana wont let aldo talk about what he’s making FUCKING PATHETIC what a fraud!!!!
HAHAHAHA!!! You once again prove what kind of idiot you are. You don’t know anything about ticket brokering and the resell market. Don’t attempt to act like you do, tard.
Mayweather will never in a million years make anywhere near that figure. You gotta stop listening to your homo master, Arum! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! FAG BOY!!!!
Ticket brokering and the resell market?
Where was the at for the last Jon Jones fight?
They didnt even sell out. How bout that D.
UFC, 7m gate? Thats like shoelace money to Mayweather
Shitbusness is an idiot who once again kept talking until he made a fool of himself. So how can a sport be gay and barbaric at the same time? There is nothing cool about trading punches to the face until you cant even count how much money you owe the IRS. Boxing is a idiots sport. Made simple because the poverty stricken fans wouldn’t understand it any other way and the uneducated street thugs who do it would actually be able to learn it. K-1 showed that even the kickboxers was raping boxers by just adding one more weapon. Boxing is a sport you have to be born good at. It is nothing but a speed pillow fight. The rules weed out big punchers and strategy. But it has to be kept simple for the simple minded. I actually lose IQ points just watching boxing. They hand pick their opponent to offer up no threat. Then talk about how skilled they are at the sweet science. It doesn’t take sweet science to beat someone you have picked. But that is boxing.
THE GAYEST!!
Shoelace money is what Floyd Mayweather’s prelim fighters make. HAHAHA!

What’s really funny is that UFC 187 will make more money than any boxing match this year other than Pac-Mayweather.

Haha. Sal convinces himself 2 + 2 is 5. He’s beyond delusional.
D- “What’s really funny is that UFC 187 will make more money than any boxing match this year other than Pac-Mayweather.”
There is no facts, stats, or any type of logic that would deem what you just said true.
That is simply a lie.
James DeGale and Andre Dirrell are making $1.55 million each to face each other on May 23rd likely to be on PBC.
I assume they are each making more than every UFC fighter will make a fight, and Dirrell and DeGale arent very notable names.
“There is no facts, stats, or any type of logic that would deem what you just said true.
That is simply a lie.”
There are facts that prove you have no idea how to pluralize verbs. Hahahaha!
Not to mention of course, nothing you’ve ever claimed involved any type of facts what so ever. Including your statements about DeGale and Dirrell making more money than every UFC fighter. The evidence would prove the opposite.
THE GAYEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way retard, the reason why the purses are clearly overpaid was because that fight went to a purse bid-both promoters wanted to keep the fight in their respective countries. This fight will lose tons of money because of the overpaid purses. Haymon went way overboard because he is trying to get PBC going as well as he can for the long run. He is gambling with millions of dollars and when it fails, he won’t be able to borrow a dime from anyone. Normally these two would get paid half of that.
Really dont care if it was a purse bid or not, its what they are earning, and you cant diminish that.
But since you said im lying, go ahead and name me 5 UFC fighters right now that are making $1.55m a fight.
Haha. Because you don’t see the significance of this you stupid idiot. These events LOSE money! Zuffa isn’t as retarded as you and these boxing promoters.
Also, those 2 do not make 1.55m per fight. They made by far their biggest purse for this event because of the reasons I explained. If you are asking me who most likely has made over 1.55m in one fight for the UFC, the following fighters likely have:
Jones, Weidman, Rousey, Silva, Velasquez, Dos Santos, Mir, Nogueira, Evans, Jackson, Machida, (McGregor/Aldo will).
You are retarded as usual.
None of those guys made over $1.55m a fight.
Jones and Silva maybe made that one time, maybe, probably not but maybe.
Can u cite your sources or u gonna give me that “back room bonus” nonsense.
By the way, Dirrell and DeGale aren’t stars by any means, and they are making way more than the top of the UFC since clearly the ppl u named make no where near that
You are the biggest retard, pro stalker on Earth.
You know nothing about these topics. You literally said Art Jimmerson lost against Gracie because he didn’t know the rules which along with all of your other delusions of grandeur solidifies what kind of retard you are. You are wrong about literally everything you discuss. You must have gotten your ass kicked a lot by mma fighters for this crusade you’ve been running against the sport. HAHAHA!!
THE GAYEST!!!
