UFC fighters make a pittance relative to the promotion's revenue, and Dana White has no plans on changing that anytime soon.
The UFC president recently sat down with GQ and pushed back on any calls for him to raise fighter purses.
“Fighters always want to make more money,” White said (2:40 mark). “Boxing has absolutely been destroyed because of money and all the things that go on. It's never gonna happen while I’m here. Believe me, these guys get paid what they’re supposed to get paid. They eat what they kill. They get a percentage of the pay-per-view buys and the money is spread out amongst all the fighters.
