The Fighters hold all the cards. It's poor management why they dont make more. Most fighters dont know any better. They take what's offered instead of telling promoters to shove it. I fight for this or else. In the 80's fighters told promoters that if they wanted to have a fight you better pay me XYZ.
Gotta disagree here I'm afraid - MMA is like anything where there is more supply than demand - the fighters don't hold all hte cards at all, unless you are a big draw or crowd puller you mean literally nothing to the promoter, if you ask for too much cash he can just draw for the next person on his list, end of problem lol.

Thanks for hte post KK, informative.
