For this tournament, NYFIGHTS, a well-known American fighting media, announced the appearance fees of fighters for the two co-main events. Foreign media pointed out that Pereira, the light heavyweight champion who won the finale main event, is expected to have a guaranteed salary of $1.5 million for this fight, which is an extrapolation based on his appearance fees in the past few fights, Pereira received $850,000 in his first 205-pound fight last year, and in the second game of 205-pound, that is, the fight for the belt in the division, he scored $1.132 million, so foreign media predicted that Pereira would score $1.5 million. Jill, who was knocked out by Pereira in one round, is expected to earn $450,000.
For Zhang Weili, who successfully defended her title today, foreign media also reported on her appearance fee, Zhang Weili defeated Lemos in UFC292 last time and got $520,000, this battle foreign media expect her guaranteed salary to be $600,000, because Zhang Weili is the defending champion, and UFC300 is still a PPV event, Zhang Weili enjoys the right to PPV sharing, foreign media estimate that PPV has at least 1 million households to watch, Zhang Weili gets a total income much more than $600,000, how much can be shared, but also depends on PPV payment data。
Foreign media also estimated Yan Xiaonan's share, Yan Xiaonan got a total of 230,000 US dollars in the last KO Andrade, including winning bonuses, sponsorships and bonuses, etc., this time to participate in the gold belt fight, foreign media believe that Yan Xiaonan's guaranteed appearance fee is expected to be 200,000 US dollars, and this is already her highest appearance fee so far. Foreign media pointed out that Yan Xiaonan's total guaranteed appearance fee for the past 10 UFC fights is about $300,000.
As for how much Zhang Weili's total income will be in this battle, combined with the analysis of foreign media and sports reporters from a domestic portal media, Zhang Weili's conservative total income in this battle is 2 million US dollars, and if the PPV data is amazing, her total income is expected to reach 3 million US dollars, that is, more than 20 million yuan! It can be said that Zhang Weili finally came out, you must know that she may not have more than 50,000 yuan in a domestic competition that year, and after signing with the UFC, she completely turned over, not only her fame skyrocketed, but her income also doubled geometrically, all of which were exchanged for sweat and blood!
It is reported that Zhang Weili may have to give up the strawweight belt next and upgrade to challenge for the current champion of the higher division, if she can become a two-division champion, her income will definitely rise again, wait and see!
