Cody reportedly earned $200,000 in flat pay as a #5 contender coming into the fight. Champ Amanda Nunes also earned $200,000, but that included her win bonus. So it seems Garbrandt did really well for himself.

How in gods fucking name is Ronda worth 3 million?
OBgrappler - How in gods fucking name is Ronda worth 3 million?Would you have shelled out 60 bucks for the card without her?
Don't you do digital advertising? I am sure there are metrics either CPA, CPC, impressions, CTR etc. that could be used to measure the user response for the PPV.
OBgrappler - How in gods fucking name is Ronda worth 3 million?Pretty silly question.
Egg and Amanda said that Amanda would get ppv points so see prob earned over a million dollars.
Toquinho -Egg and Amanda said that Amanda would get ppv points so see prob earned over a million dollars.
I hadn't heard that, but glad Amanda is getting paid better than $200,000 for what could be the most high profile fight she'll ever have.

Are you one of those guys that complains about fighter pay, but then bashes the number 2 ppv seller for getting 3 mil?
Is the fine for missing weight applied to the entire salary or just the show money? Smolka only got 30% of Borg's show money even though he made an extra $18k. Unless they just did the math wrong.

Im actually even more happy with the Cody pay. He was in a position that gets shortchanged a lot. I think Rory Mcdonald made less than him when he challenged for the title.
TJ is also getting a nice chunk of cash for all the complaining he does.
Dom got ppv points too, right?
