Median salaries in the WNBA are around $71,635, and starting salaries are $50,000
Say a female fighter was on a 15/15 scale and they fight 3 times, winning 2. That'd be $75,000 before sponsor pay, throw another $12,000 or so. $87,000 without any sponsorship $$ from outside the octagon or a part time-job. If a fighter scrapes together $15,000 more they're over $100,000.
The top female fighters such as Roxanne would earn well over $200,000 under the scenario above.
Here are some boxing purses for comparison.
