The salaries of MMA fighters are often discussed in organizations around the world. Here’s how it is in the world’s biggest league, as described by UFC promoter Dana White.

The topic of MMA fighter pay resonates through the martial arts world

MMA fighter salaries have been an attractive topic lately. It is widely speculated that fighter salaries in the UFC amount to about twenty percent of the organization’s total revenue, a very low amount compared to other sports.

A certain percentage of fighters have expressed negative opinions on the subject, however, there is a general silence from the fighters about the issue. The biggest opponent of the situation has been Jake Paul, who regularly takes up arms against UFC owner Dan White.

UFC promoter Dana White outlines his perspective on the matter

He has taken a very clear stance on the situation and blamed the problem on the fighters themselves. ” In my contract with the fighters, it is my obligation to deliver three fights a year,” the charismatic promoter told Top-fight.com.

“If I don’t give them the three fights, I will be breaking the terms of the contract, ” he explained. “So whoever is fit and wants the money, let them fight,” he advised his staff. “Our fighters are well paid, some of them royally, everyone earns what they deserve,” he said.

“The fighters have a steady salary and bonuses for winning, bonuses from PPVs and bonuses from sponsors,” he described the income of his fighters. “All the fighters get the best sponsors thanks to our platform, thanks to us they have a side income they never dreamed of,” he said, aware of the totality of all the income.

“There’s no comparison to boxing, and there’s a lot of people who like to do it, but the industry is completely destroyed,” he said of the comparison to boxing salaries. “There’s so much dirty money laundered there that nobody is going to move without a salary now, there will never be a salary policy like that in the UFC as long as I’m alive,” he concluded.
