The issue is not what the fighters "could" make after sponsorships or whatever, it's what they make in relation to what the organization is making. This is what upsets most people. Zuffa appears to be making money hand over fist and the fighter purses have lagged behind. At least that's the perception.
I'm no expert and maybe someone here can answer this. When a fighter gets a fight and is paid $150K. How much does his training camp cost? From what I see, they bring in experts or fly them in for extra coaching. Are all those guys free? The nutritionists, the boxing coaches, strength coaches, masseuses, ect.
I know some guys have their own gyms, but not all. So after they pay for their training camps, how much is left over?
