If you were to relate the payouts to boxing it would more than likely only help the top fighters – the ones already getting paid decently. You rarely hear about other fights than the main event on boxing cards and one would be lead to believe with the outrageous boxing payouts that the under card isn’t being paid all that well. I have to agree with Dana that MMA is different than boxing. Could they afford to up fighter pay at all levels? Sure, they are making the money. However, MMA is still fairly new at this large of a scale though and it will take time.

I like Randy and I hope he gets a settlement in his favor. He has done amazing things on borrowed time, but realistically he can’t keep it up much longer.
