The above figures are the fighter payout information that promoters are required by Nevada regulations to submit to the state athletic commission; they do not represent a full accounting of each fighter’s income.

Fighters bear significant costs including training expenses, a percentage to management, a percentage to the trainer, plus insurance, licenses, and taxes.

On the income side, fighters earned sponsorship of between $2,500 and $50,000 for wearing Reebok apparel in the Octagon, and for the week before it. Some fighters receive discretionary “Locker Room” bonuses in the mail. Out-of-event sponsorship money too can be a significant, although it is much, much smaller for many fighters than it was in the past. In addition, four $50,000 ‘of the Night’ Performance Bonuses, are awarded. Further, main event PPV fighters receive a percentage of the PPV gross, as contracted, generally at a rate that escalates with increased PPV buys. And lastly, many fighters earn income from teaching, from appearances, and in many cases from regular employment in the non-fighting space.
