Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter’s income.
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
