Speaking with Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix about his plans for Zuffa Boxing, White shrugged off the notion that the UFC doesn’t pay its fighters well, and points out the wide disparity in pay for the top boxers compared to everyone else.
“There’s always this talk. You know we went through this talk for almost 20 years where, ‘oh you don’t pay your [UFC] fighters and boxers get more,’” White scoffed.
