Payout Perspective:
The biggest disparity here is the between the former WWE superstar Jake Hager (aka Jack Swagger) and J.W. Kiser. Hager is making $50,000 for this fight while Kiser, a 41-year-old with just one pro fight, a loss in 2018, is receiving $7,000 to show and another $7,000 if he pulls the offset. Certainly, the $50,000 Swagger is making is far less than his salary in the WWE. Of course, its his first pro fight. Without much argument, Fedor is the top paid athlete earning $300,000 and his opponent making just half of that.
