MMA Payout has obtained the salaries for the entire card from UFC 219 this past Saturday. As previously revealed, the main event participants were the highest paid on the card.
Via the Nevada Athletic Commission:
Cristiane Justino: $500,000 (no win bonus) def. Holly Holm: $300,000
Khabib Nurmegomedov $160,000 ($80K/$80K) def. Edson Barboza: $75,000
Daniel Hooker: $48,000 ($24K/$24K) def. Marc Diakiese: $24,000
Carla Esparza $72,000 ($36K/$36K) def. Cynthia Calvillo $41,000
Neil Magny: $140,000 ($70K/$70K) def. Carlos Condit: $115,000
Michal Oleksiejczuk: $24,000 ($12K/$12K) def. Khalil Rountree: $19,000
Myles Jury: $66,000 ($33K/$33K) def. Ricky Lee Glenn $22,000
Marvin Vettori: $20,000 draw Oman Akhmedov: $29,000
Matheus Nicolau Pereira: $28,000 ($14K/$14K) def. Louis Smolka: $32,000
Tim Elliott: $54,000 ($28K/$28K) def. Mark De La Rosa: $12,000
Payout Perspective:
What probably jumps out from the payouts is the championship fight salaries. While no win bonus, the reported payout does not include any PPV points that might be triggered if the PPV hits a certain buy rate. Aside from the top of the card, all other fighters would have earned double their purse if they prevailed.
