    Agree with Chris Curtis hahaha 21 BILLION dollars combined together and they can’t improve fighter pay. Obviously this is aside from fighter pay I’m not tryna make it always about the pay but if you see what those wwe guys get paid to act in the ring, why are the mma fighters paid less for straight up putting their health on the line in a REAL fight.

      Probably because the wwe guys are on the road pretty much all the time. They do multiple shows a week and deal with a lot of injuries. Ufc people fight like what 3 times a year the most?

      @@KV____ wrestling isnt as easy as it seems as ppl have literally died in the ring. the ring is hard on the body and thats why so many wrestlers die by being addicted to painkillers. they get concussions and are still forced to wrestle, they get bruises and welts and so many end up being crippled. a lot of the older wrestlers have fake knees and fake hips. hulk hogan is literally crippled and needs a cane to walk around. ppl like ken shamrock say that wrestling was much harder on his body then mma ever was. you cant fake gravity at the end of the day. only try your best to brace the impact and lessen the damage it will do to your body.

      @retwerts Рік тому +2

      if the fighters want to get paid just to "act in the ring" may be they should become wwe wrestlers and see how that works out for them, how about that? if you draw money, you get paid more, thats true for both companies. Also UFC is growing business, you think all those performance centers, marketing machines, etc. are free? They invest heavy, they try to grow the business, that's it.

      Even in the early days of professional wrestling, it was widely known that the matches were not entirely real. However, fans were so passionate about the whta they liked that they somehow convinced themself that it were real. In contrast, mixed martial arts (MMA) is a sport where everyone knows that when a fighter is knocked out, the fight is over. Although UFC judges sometimes make incorrect decisions and matches sometimes ignore the ranking system, I believe that creating better fight cards is much more important than putting together boring fights

      could be for a revenue standpoint, WWE has been breaking record profits for the past 4 years. regardless of how you feel about it, they have they’re fan base which is roughly around 2.5 million and they’re shelving in money around the clock. also the UFC might want more corporate sponsorship, and the WWE could definitely give a hand in that. it’s all about how many billions they could make as one huge entity
