Affliction: Day Of Reckoning Fighter Payouts.
Here’s the complete list of fighter payouts, but keep in mind this list doesn’t include non disclosed bonuses(such as the large amount over the list figure paid to Fedor Emelianenko), and other bonuses, nor does it take away fighter expenses such as insurance and taxes. The numbers are staggering in comparison to UFC, with the high end fighters making decidedly more than their UFC counter-parts: Fedor Emelianenko: $300,000 (no win bonus) Andrei Arlovski: $1,500,000 (missed $250k win bonus) Josh Barnett: $500,000 (no win bonus) Gilbert Yvel: $30,000 Vitor Belfort: $200,000 ($80k win bonus) Matt Lindland: $225,000 Renato ‘Babalu’ Sobral: $90,000 ($30k win bonus) Thierry Sokoudjou: $50,000
