After yesterday's UFC 326 tournament, the fighters' honorariums have also been announced. Looking at the numbers, it's clear that the biggest money this night fell into the hands of the main stars: the higher the rating, status, and screen time, the "fatter" the check.
The highest honorarium went to Max Holloway - he received $2,282,000. Charles Oliveira is in second place with $1,542,000. The other fighters aren't bad either: for some, this tournament could be one of the best financial evenings in their careers.
Below is the list of fees announced yesterday:
- Max Holloway - $2,282,000
- Charles Oliveira - $1,542,000
- Du Dober - $415,000
- Michael Johnson - $370,000
- Rob Font - $315,000
- Gregory Rodriguez - $310,000
- Cody Garbrandt - $215,000
- Caio Barralho - $211,000
The conclusion is simple: in the UFC, not only fights, but also the brand works. Whoever has a bigger "name" gets more. But there's still one rule for everyone: to make money, you need to do work in the octagon first.
