UFC 287 Purse and Payouts: Will Alex Pereira earn more than Israel Adesanya at UFC 287?
UFC 287 purse and payout: How much will Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya earn this weekend?
Estimating fighters’ pay is one of the most difficult things to do, as they do not disclose the details of their contracts. However, we can get an approximate figure by looking at their previous bout earnings. So let’s use the same method to see how much Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira will earn this weekend.
According to reports, in their last bout, Alex Pereira took home a total of $682,000. This included a $300,000 to show, $300,000 win bonus, $50,000 performance bonus, and $32,000 sponsorship bonus. However, given that he is now the champion and the possibility of getting the PPV share, we expect Alex Pereira to earn close to $1 million in this bout.
Adesanya, on the other hand, holds one of the biggest contracts in UFC history. According to reports, the New Zealander took home $2.6 million in the first fight. The former champion’s base salary itself is $2 million. This figure did not include the win bonus or performance bonus. Therefore, if Adesanya can beat Pereira with an impressive performance, he could earn over $3 million.
Therefore, despite not being the champion, Israel Adesanya will still earn more than Alex Pereira. This is simply because of the contract he holds with the UFC. However, Alex Pereira will definitely earn more than he did in the first fight.
