That's really a huge contract for a single fight if I ever knew that I should choose the profession of being a boxer. We're not quite sure where they invest it but for sure these boxers really have a good profit on it.
I agree the amounts are huge but you know this is one sport where one mistake can lead to brain injuries which last forever and you can even die if things go wrong because it is high paced sport and I have seen deaths caused by the injuries sustained. You might want to see what happened with Frankie Campbell which even now makes me feel so bad and the referee should have been banned.
Yeah! I agree on the point that it's reasonable for boxers to have high prizes because they do it in exchange of their health and wellness. However, I'm just sad that UFC fighters, which not only could get head injuries but also broken arms and legs, are less payed. Their contracts way lower than teh boxers. Thus any mixed martial arts competitors deserve a pay increase.
There are some lucrative prize money these fighters get but really they are risking their life for it and personally I would never risk my life for money because eventually you cannot buy life with money no matter how rich you are or how famous you are.
Well, you cam say it because you are not in love with the sport. But for the athletes out there, they are willing to takes risks because their passion is to fight. Sometimes it is not always about money
.
I guess, the audience of boxing sports is bigger than the UFC, so they can rake more money than UFC.
And with the sponsorship deals that come with it, that's why boxing seems to be more lucrative.
However, if you are a boxer, you should know your strengths and weaknesses, and really be discipline with yourself.
Though it is the same with other sports regarding discipline. But one wrong move, and it will really cost your life.
