[@HeyyyItsaMe]

SAS does not know the difference between UFC and boxing. The UFC is a company where the fighters can be considered its employees. It also holds and determine who gets to fight for championship and stuff. It also has its own broadcast partner. Boxing, meanwhile, is a field/industry that contains many players: promoters, broadcasters, belt organizations, boxers, boxers' management teams, etc. So, organizing a boxing fight, especially at the highest level where championship and popularity statuses are at hand, is incredibly hard as no side would want to lose out on a one-and-done opportunity. There are just so many moving pieces in organizing a boxing fight, thus the rewards are higher. There is a much centralized control in organizing a UFC fight, so we have fighters getting paid so little and other restrictions.
