Jake Paul defeated Ben Askren in the first round of the main event of Triller Fight Club’s event on Saturday night in Atlanta. But it was Super Lightweight Regis Prograis that led the way in reported salaries according to the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission.
Prograis, who defeated Ivan Redkach in an odd, ending which saw Redkach feign a low blow and was carried out on a stretcher, earned $850,000. Redkach drew $250,000.
Paul earned $690,000 while Askren grossed $500,000. The reported payout is without any PPV upside, if any.
The remaining fight salaries are as follows:
Frank Mir: $350,000
Steve Cunningham: $150,000
Reykon: $80,000
Joe Fournier: $220,000
Jeyson Minda: $8,000
Junior Younan: $25,0000
William Jackson: $8,000
Quinton Randall: $15,000
Payout Perspective:
Askren’s purse is the highest-reported payout which includes his MMA career. The event was centered around Paul, Triller’s star, despite the credible credentials of Prograis.
