The above figures are the fighter payout information that promoters are required by State regulations to submit to the state athletic commissions; they do not represent a full accounting of each fighter’s income.
On the income side, fighters earned sponsorship of between $2,500 and $50,000 for wearing Reebok apparel in the Octagon, and during the week before it. Out-of-event sponsorship money too can be significant, although it is smaller for many fighters than it was in the past. In addition, four $50,000 ‘of the Night’ Performance Bonuses, are awarded.
Fighters bear significant costs including training expenses, a percentage to management, a percentage to the trainer, plus insurance, licenses, and taxes.
And a majority of fighters earn income from teaching, from appearances, and in many cases from regular employment in non-fight employment.
