Default Re: why no mma to boxing conversions?

I know how much the lower end guys are paid. Those guys have no shot of doing anything in boxing. The elite MMA fighters who actually make good money (a few in UFC and a lot in Pride and Hero's in Japan) would be far worse off if they switched to boxing.

Couture and Liddel made about 200k in UFC 54. How much more than that are the top Pride/K-1/whatever guys making?

Top boxers have multi-million purses. Top pro-wrestlers have multi-million annual contracts. The wrestlers might make the most, since they have so many more endorsement and cross-over opportunities.
