In the great debate of fighter pay, there is no comparison between the boxing elite and the MMA elite.
Just look at the check Floyd Mayweather Jr. just got for his 12-round battle against Canelo Alvarez.
In a different sport, the two brothers of Jon Jones, who both competed in last years NFL super-bowl, took to twitter to proclaim that the UFC champion actually makes more than both of them combined.
Here it is:
@supernorms @JonnyBones @RosenhausSports @Chan95Jones @malkikawa I'm telling you he makes more then me and @Chan95Jones together.
