Elite boxers make a ton more than elite MMA fighters, but the average boxer is lucky to make a few hundred bucks per fight.
Also keep in mind career length and damage taken. MMA fights are a few rounds and end almost immediately when a fighter is hurt. Lots of scrapes and marks to be sure but nowhere near the long term brain injury that many boxers face after a dozen 12 round fights getting hit in the head while semiconscious on their feet.
Walking away talking like Chuck Liddell instead of mumbling like Ali is definitely worth something as well.
