 Some Fighter salaries
Here are some fighters salaries from about a year ago or so, this seems to be rising per event. We believe Brock Lesnar is getting around 500K Plus Bonuses per fight now with main headliners getting 250K plus bonuses each. UFC seems to stay the strongest for salaries however this has probably 10X grown since 2 years ago as most got around 10K each per fight in 2007. Despite MMA as being the fastest growing sport these Salaries are far less than Pro Boxers being that the top headliners get $20,000,000 plus Bonuses & endorsments per fight.
TITO ORTIZ VS RASHAD EVANS (Tito $210,000, Rashad $16,000) Fight was a Draw
