    He's not paid for the time spent fighting; that's free. He's paid for all the training that goes into being ready to fight.

    Yet no MMA fighter made the top 100. Boxing is selling its last few stars, while UFC is selling the sport. And keeping most of the money.

    well right now not sure there's anyone you can say will take their place in the next 5-10 yrs but someone may emerge. 10-15 years ago, De la Hoya was probably the most popular non-heavyweight and as good as Pacq was as a featherweight i don't remember anyone saying he'll be as popular or more so than De la Hoya.
