Eddie Hearn has reasoned ‘it’s a different kind of structure in the UFC’ after hearing of Paddy Pimblett’s £9,000 payday from UFC London.
The scouse fighter was paid $12,000 to fight at the event and had he lost, that’s all he would have gotten for his troubles.Instead, he doubled his purse with a victory – a common perk in the UFC – and he ended up taking home an extra $50,000 bonus for finishing his opponent after UFC boss Dana White said all nine fighters who secured finishes deserved the bonus.Pimblett was undoubtedly one of the main draws on the card.
In other worlds, like pro wrestling for example, you’re paid for an event based on what you’re drawing power is on that card.The UFC has been at the centre of fighter pay discussions for a while now with Jake Paul driving the conversation insisting that White raise the percentage fighters get out of UFC’s profits and introduce healthcare as a benefit.
“They’re running a business as well and it’s up to the fighters and their representatives to get the best deal they can, so I saw a lot of happy fighters at that event and I saw a great event as well.”
Eddie was incorrect. Paddy even admitted himself he got 12k for showing up, 12K for winning and than 50K fight of the night bonus. All the winners from UFC London got paid 50K bonus.
it was 12k actually

NimkoAli Thank you NimkoAli RachelTervin5 NimkoAli Thank you for doing this 💜 We just need some provision that is for women by sex only. Otherwise we are excluded entirely from society.
