Can you imagine?

Even in defeat, they still pay you a mouth-watering salary that an average Bank Manager struggle to earn in 10yrs?


Maybe I should just drop this Masters Degree program and go for this sport that shows someone LOVE in defeat.

UFC 263 salaries: Israel Adesanya ($500k) and Marvin Vettori ($350k) top disclosed earners
admin


Middleweight rivals Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori settled their grudge (for now) at UFC 263, and the champ and challenger were the most handsomely paid for it on paper.

Partial salaries released Monday by the Arizona Department of Gaming, which oversees the state’s athletic commission, revealed that titleholder Adesanya ($500,000) and challenger Vettori ($350,000) took home the top paydays on the 14-fight card. Adesanya emerged with a unanimous decision to defend the middleweight belt and take home a second win over Vettori, who was shut out on the scorecards.

Win bonuses for the combatants on the June 12 card were redacted by the department, contrary to previous fight cards held in the state. Asked about the discrepancy, a spokesperson for the department said he would look into the matter.

Typically, a UFC fighter’s “show” purse is doubled in the case of a win. But headliners – particularly those who share in pay-per-view points – often take a flat show purse and receive additional pay in the form of separate agreements with the promotion and pay-per-view splits, neither of which are public record.

So, as always, these figures below do not represent a fighter’s total earnings, as certain sponsorship incomes, pay-per-view bonuses, or discretionary post-fight bonuses are not publicly disclosed.

Here are the full UFC 263 payouts.

200 million naira just for one fight

Champ

Ok

I see Nairalanders contemplating on challenging Anthony Joshua, they're not interested in defeating him cos they know that they can't, they're only after the hundreds of thousands of dollars they would receive for loosing, which if they convert to naira, will catapult them out of poverty.

This I have seen.

Wow

This life still no balance ... Imagine !! 200million and a federal government worker will work for almost 30years and won't even make quarter of that in Nigeria except he or she commits fraud ... But a single fight got that for a single person in a day ...this life no balance

A deadly sport paying the gladiators heavily.

Congratulations to Israel Adesanya.
