For the main event…. $600k for ppv share. With 600,000 ppv buys, so these guys only get $1 per ppv? Thats outright scandalous. UFC is a super greedy ass organization. 50% the $1.2M gets cut by taxes as he’s a contractor. Then he gives 10% to his manager then another 10% to his coach. Dude gets 70% subtracted after all fees. Not to mention the hotel, airfare and the other operational costs. From the $1.2M He ends up with less than $350k. I hope his manager hires reallly good tax lawyers to fund loophole and workarounds. Cause this is nuts.
Couple things. It’s not quite $1 per ppv. The more you sell, the more you make. So for example, you might make $3 for every buy between 600-900,000 and $4 for every one above 900,000. Secondly, the UFC does cover hotel and airfare for you and your team as far as I know. But only a certain number of people, and anyone else is on your dime. Also tax-wise I’m sure you can deduct what you pay out to your manager and team. All that to say I do agree with you, Islam is not going to have 1.2 mil in his bank account, but it might be closer to something like $700,000
I hope that’s the case. Otherwise I’d not be laying my life on the line to entertain people while the ufc makes billions and I make just enough to buy a property or two and a few cars. Simply not worth it.
dustin definitely got ppv points on this fight because they had no UFC 302 if he said no I'm not feeling it. Outside of the main event it was a horrible card.
Well thats all good. I wonder out of that million or even 500k, how much will it be deducted for tax and also for the other expenses (gym, sparing partners, coaches, food, nutritionists, etc)?
Since Islam is the champion & P4P no.1 king and made history by most wins streak of LW division of 14 and he is a famous skilled fighter he should get paid at least 3 million US dollars and 1.5 million should be the the guaranteed payment for him now on
Holland made 178/178 at 291 (released by the commission) so I estimated from that. Strickland said on Twitter he was offered less than 200/200 for a short notice fight, which usually includes a pay bump, so his standard rate would be less than that.
@@MMAMoney Dude. 2 billion follow Mackhachev. He is a legend in every country except racist USA and even then he is a star. Islam and Khabib make that amount in sponsorship money. Jon Jones a roid guy and a joke.
@chemistryphysics716 Did I say anything about Islam’s sponsorships? I’m talking about how much the UFC pays them. Whether Jones does steroids is completely irrelevant, UFC pays him way more than Islam.
@@MMAMoney it is relevant fool. if the sponsorship is way more than the money they earn on fights then they don't fight and drag on forever while raking in sponsorship money. The fight has to have serious money when you are pound for pound champ like Islam is. Go look at the lawsuit regarding UFC and you will see the pay. and that was many years ago. Islam got at least $5M for the fight. You think he made $1.5M? they make more in sponsoring gyms and clothes than that.
Costa confirmed made 250k in his last fight (released by the california commission). Strickland said on Twitter that he was offered less than 200k for a short notice fight.
Makachev vs Dustin Saved the Card and Night. What a battle that came down to the wire and Islam secured the finish at end. Amazing.

You also get royalties. Go watch the interview Usman did with DC, where DC spills the backend revenue you are making if you share in ppv

That’s why fighters love to fight in Abu Dhabi, cause it’s tax free
I think islam being champ has taken home 3+million dustin 2+
These guys are still under paid
former champ and no. 1 contender sean strickland: 350k
kevin holland a guy who is never gonna be champ and a journeyman: 430k
good job ufc
😂 Yup. They definitely reward guys that fight frequently, and don’t say no.
@@MMAMoney thats true tho but still 100k difference is crazy
Anywhere anytime the man KH
Sean getting paid 160.000 when costa gets 250.000 is ridiculous
Wasn't Sean a champ before 😮? I guess all that talking means nothing if you can't defend
dustin definitely got ppv points on this fight because they had no UFC 302 if he said no I'm not feeling it. Outside of the main event it was a horrible card.
500k guaranteed for both fighters that can generate at least or more 200k buys is a ripoff . Should be at least $1.5 minimum
Well thats all good. I wonder out of that million or even 500k, how much will it be deducted for tax and also for the other expenses (gym, sparing partners, coaches, food, nutritionists, etc)?
Costa is one massive welterweight xD Good stuff tho, as always!
Since Islam is the champion & P4P no.1 king and made history by most wins streak of LW division of 14 and he is a famous skilled fighter he should get paid at least 3 million US dollars and 1.5 million should be the the guaranteed payment for him now on
great channel, I subscribed !
Shouldn't Strickland get PPV points? Former champ and one of the biggest draws of the card after all (despite the fight itself turning out as it did).
It’s possible, but based on what I’ve seen with former champs (especially in co-mains) I’d guess not.
@@MMAMoney what would you assume to be the PPV bonus in that case? Same as Dustin's or less?
khabib get 6M for his 3rd title defenses
Last title defense b4 his retirement
Well he's was the biggest draw in the ufc after mcgregor
Khabib became big star after Mcgregor fight.
Khabib earned 6+ million for his fight against Poirier.
He was bigger star than Islam is now tho
Why would Islam get almost the same as poirier.
No way Holland gets more than Strickland, a former champ, #1 contender, and co-main event…what are your sources???

holland got a finish
Holland gets PPV for sure. As does Dustin.
Holland definitely doesn’t get PPV, even though he jokingly said he does.
@@MMAMoney holland be getting lifetime PPV after the Ferguson/ Diaz/ chimaev debacle!
😭😭
Poirier yes, Holland DEFINITELY NOT
Islam Saïd hé got 2bonus
This information is wrong thoroughly.. My time totally wasted
complete nonsense. Islam and Poirier made way more money. Islam probably $5M and Dustin $2.5-3M.
Lol $5M is like Jon Jones level payout. Islam doesn’t have near that pull.
@@MMAMoney Dude. 2 billion follow Mackhachev. He is a legend in every country except racist USA and even then he is a star. Islam and Khabib make that amount in sponsorship money. Jon Jones a roid guy and a joke.

Unlike Racist USA? Bruh are you fucking dumb? Literally every other country on earth is more racist.
I thought poirier new contract before 3rd conor fight was around 800k guaranteed.
I haven’t seen that, do you have a source?
You have any proof or other evidence??or is it just your thoughts?
Strickland and all the fighters are still getting paid peanut 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Islam's bonus was 100k as per Dana's press conf.
Yeah 50k fight of the night + 50k performance of the night
You think costa makes more than Strickland?
Costa confirmed made 250k in his last fight (released by the california commission). Strickland said on Twitter that he was offered less than 200k for a short notice fight.
What is wrong with the ufc pay chart hahaha
Where is the source for this info....
trust me bro
He literally said at the start of the video that it is estimates based on previous earnings
So these are guesses?
Costa is making 1 million. This information is wrong.
Source? Definitely didn’t make 1 mil. Confirmed made 250k at 298 by the California commission.
80k for a broken arm xD
Why all fighters got a win bonus except Islam? Shouldn't he get another 500k for the win?
Both Poirier and Islam are on guaranteed contracts, so they get the same amount whether they win or lose.
And the winner is Dana White
U didn’t tell us how much islam got for the win ???!!
One of the most boring card ever, except for the main event.
they cut Islam for the win
Sean fight waste time
How Islam didn't have nothing for the win?
When you get to that level you get guaranteed money instead of show/win.
.
Get a backbone .
