There is this issue of low salary in the athletes of a mixed martial arts league called UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). It is the biggest league like the NBA in basketball. A personality who is an outsider in the league was pointing out the complaints of the fighter regarding salary.
The president of the UFC responded with a statement that if they complain of low salary then why not create their own league. In fairness to the UFC, their fighters are paid more than 3-fold of what the fighters get in other leagues - the basic purse of a fighter is $10,000 which is much higher than the $3,000 purse in other league. For an exciting bout the fighter earns a $50,000 bonus. Championship fighter receives at least $100,000. Sometimes complaints in business are rooted in envy or jealousy of outsiders.
