The above figures are the fighter payout information that promoters are required by California law to submit to the state athletic commissions, including the winners' bonuses.
The figures do not represent a full accounting of each fighter's income.
Fighters bear significant costs including training expenses, a percentage to management, a percentage to the trainer, plus insurance, licenses, and taxes.
On the income side, sponsorship money can be a significant portion of the purse, although it is smaller than it was in the past, particularly for the mid tier fighters. As well there are explicit 'of the Night' performance bonuses noted above, and less formal 'locker room' bonuses that are mailed to fighters after the event.
Main event PPV fighters can receive a percentage of the PPV gross, as contracted.
Lastly, many fighters earn income from teaching, from appearances, and in many cases from regular employment in the non-fighting space.
