Me either but that's where the fighters go these days. In Boxing the promoters make all the money while the boxers starve unless they are the lucky few to get big money prize fights..
Meanwhile guys in MMA get contracts, so they are earning even while training. This means the up coming fighters go to MMA because they don't have to live in a box while hoping to get a good prize money fight.
This is a rough look at what MMA guys are making. While yes the top guys don't earn like Tyson, but look on down the list and it's a more even spread way down the list.
