Pettis tops UFC Fight Night Nashville payouts

April 9, 2019 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

MMA Payout has obtained the payouts from the UFC Fight Night event last month in Nashville.  Anthony “Showtime” Pettis earned over $300,000 with his fight purse.

Pettis earned a KO over Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson.  He received $145,000 to show and another $145,00 for the win.  Thompson earned $120,000 to show and would have doubled that with a win.  Notably, the payout sheet received from the Tennessee Athletic Commission indicated Wonderboy would receive $12,000 to show although I would assume that is a typo.

The rest of the payouts are as follows:

Anthony Pettis: $145K/$145K

Stephen Thompson:  $120K

 

Curtis Blaydes: $75K/$75K

Justin Willis:  $38K

 

John Makdessi: $44K/$44K

Jesus Pineda:  $12K

 

Deiveson Figueiredo: $23K/$23K

Jussier Vieira: $46K

 

Luis Pena:  $8,400/$12,000 (Luis forfeited a percentage of his purse to Petersen for missing weight)

Stephen Petersen: $15,600

 

Maycee Barber: $12K/$12K

JJ Aldrich: $21K

 

Bryce Mitchell:  $12K/$12K

Bobby Moffett: $12K

 

Marlon Vera:  $45K/$45K

Frankie Saenz:  $30K

 

Alex Davis: $35K/$35K

Jennifer Maia: $12K

 

Randa Markos: $25K/$25K

Angela Hill: $24K

 

Ryan McDonald:  $10K/$10K

Chris Gutierrez: $10K

 

Eric Shelton: $14K/$14K

Jordan Espinosa: $10K

Payout Perspective:

Pena had to forfeit a portion of his purse to Petersen thus the $8,400 for the show and $12,000 for the win.  Pettis’ $290K plus his Performance Bonus upped his takeaway salary and Reebok pay to over $350K.  A good night for Showtime who may have found a new home in the welterweight division.

It seems that TKO has really screwed up WWE/Wrestlemania with ads and celebs and getting away from the heart of pro wrestling - and talented performers are paying the price.
