Boxing can afford its huge payouts because they're will only be a few big shows a year, and usually some money mark is eating a loss. Ngannou wouldn't have made the money he did if the Saudis specifically didn't want to see that, since no one is paying for that PPV. And even then, it's usually only the tippy top guys making that kind of money when the rest of the card is making dogwater.
Also, how many heavyweights are avoiding the UFC specifically over money? Not even Ngannou left purely for the money; he shoot wanted to box and didn't sign because they wouldn't create a carve out in his contract. That's according to the guy himself.
