Martina Jindrová earned more than CZK 1 million for winning the PFL! Viktor Pest also raked in a lot of money for losing

Martina Jindrová has achieved in the PFL what Viktor Pest was unable to do. In this article, we will look at what both fighters got paid for their fights.

In this year’s season of the Professional Fighters League, which is considered one of the biggest MMA organizations in the United States, the Czech fight scene had two irons in the fire.

Viktor Pešta dropped out of the PFL after two straight losses

In the men’s section, Viktor Pešta fought for a total purse of 1 million US dollars. He announced his assault on the extraordinary prize money in the overseas organization after leaving the Octagon.

However, the Czech fighter hit hard on his journey overseas. First, in April, he could not withstand the pressure of Russian Akhmedov in the ring, who shut down the Czech fighter after 85 seconds, and then, after less than two months, he again fell to Australian Wilkinson in the first round, ending his stay in the league.

Although it was a huge disappointment for him, he still earned a decent payday. MMA Junkie has come up with an article summarizing the fighters’ paychecks from last month. In it, it states that Viktor Peshta earned a solid 438,000 CZK for his last fight in the organization.

Martina Jindrova advanced to the semifinals, earned over 1 million CZK for her last fight

Martina Jindrová is a different story in the women’s section. After two dominant wins, she has advanced to the playoffs of the competition and will face the organization’s biggest female star Kayla Harrison in the league semifinals.

She is generally regarded as the best female MMA fighter outside of the UFC’s top league, so Jindrova has a huge challenge ahead of her. A semifinal in such a loaded tournament is already a huge accomplishment, and a potential win over Harrison would once again aim the spotlight on the country in the heart of Europe.

Even Jindrova earned a very good chunk of money for her last crushing victory over Kazakhstan’s Fayzallan. Her “base salary” plus the prize money for the win exceeded 1 million Czech crowns.

Her future opponent Kayla Harrison earned over 12 million CZK in her last match alone. It is also important to note that these figures do not reflect potential additional bonuses, streaming rewards or sponsorship payments for promotion.

Although the above amounts are in the realm of dreams for the average person, we must remember that the amounts are before taxes and the costs of training, the cost of the team around the fighter and the general costs associated with wrestling are very high.
