Jorge Masvidal may already haold a TKO win over Nate Diaz that won him the UFC’s symbolic ‘BMF’ title back in 2019, but that hasn’t earned him an equal footing in terms of the two stars basic salaries for their rematch in the boxing ring tonight.
Instead it’s Diaz who leads the payouts with a $500,000 salaries, while Masvidal is guaranteed a $300,000 payday for their second showdown in Anaheim, California.
That actually means that Masvidal is also being outdone by another former UFC fighter Anthony Pettis, who will take home $350,000 for his co-main event with ex-Bellator and UFC fighter Chris Avila, who is also earning a healthy $210,000 for his night’s work.
It should be noted however that these salaries don’t tell the full story of each fighter’s overall earnings since they don’t include extras such as a potential cut of the pay-per-view revenue or sponsorship deals.
