It’s going to create chaos

Shakur Stevenson recently voiced his disapproval of the UFC’s 50/50 pay model for fighters, citing concerns about its impact on the sport. The renowned boxing superstar criticized the practice of paying fighters only half of their purse if they lose a bout, highlighting the potential negative consequences it could have on the fighters and the matchups.

In the UFC, fighters typically operate under a ‘Show & Win’ payment structure, where they receive half of their contracted amount for showing up for the fight and the remaining half only if they emerge victorious. This model, commonly known as the 50/50 model, has been a subject of debate within the combat sports community. While some argue that it incentivizes fighters to go for the finish, others believe it may discourage them from accepting challenging opponents.

During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Stevenson expressed his disagreement with the 50/50 pay model, emphasizing the importance of fair compensation for fighters. He highlighted the potential consequences of such a system, stating, “If you tell them they’re not going to make a certain amount of money if they don’t win the fight, they’re not going to get into the ring. It’s going to create chaos, and people are not going to fight each other.”

In addition to his thoughts on fighter pay, Stevenson also shared his views on UFC President Dana White’s foray into the boxing world. While acknowledging White’s contributions to the sport, Stevenson raised concerns about the potential impact on fighter pay in the boxing industry. He specifically mentioned the TKO Boxing venture involving Dana White and Turki Alalshikh, urging for fair compensation for fighters and expressing his disapproval of any pay cuts.

His stance reflects a broader conversation within the combat sports community about the balance between incentivizing fighters and ensuring their well-being in a competitive and evolving landscape.
