I get the economics, just disappointing. It's like paying extra to watch Ronaldo play cricket because he's famous rather than Travis Head...Can only pay fighters if people are gonna watch them, unfortunately for the boxers especially people would rather watch retired footy players than the best young boxers in the country. Say what you want about the UFC and their treatment of fighters but every card is an opportunity for one of them to breakout with a big performance and if you do produce you will get paid. Boxing only needs the guy at the top of the card
There aren't many sports where this would happen. It makes sense for promoters, just sucks for the actually skillful boxers. Still, this is better than those Paul sideshows
