UFC definitely encouraged the drama outside of the ring to sell tickets, and then publicly criticized everyone who jumped in the ring, and out of the ring at the end of the fight. I'm not sure boxing could get away with something like that, UFC still has that sort of attitude which actually prevents a lot of people from watching it. Personally, I avoided the UFC for a while due to me thinking it was too violent, and all it was about was hurting people. Obviously, I know better than that now, but I feel Dana's attitude to a lot of things doesn't exactly help its reputation.

Dana White is most probably not the best person to handle UFC in my opinion. I am not saying there are better people for that job. I am just saying that if he was a little less selfish, probably the UFC would have been a better reputable place for the fighters. A lot of fighters have been saying that they are not getting paid well enough.

You don't see these types of claims in boxing. In boxing either you are good enough for getting a lot of money or you are not. Someone like Francis Ngannou who was the heavyweight champion of that time when made the claim of not getting paid enough. It's never going to happen in boxing. I certainly don't think that it is the UFC not being able to pay the fighters more. I think it's just Dana White being Dana White.
