The battle was an intense one, evident right from the moment the announcement was made. Both fighters showcased their skills in a way that left fans in awe and filled with appreciation. From the very first round, the Korean Zombie unleashed a flurry of punches and strikes, showing great aggression. Although the initial round belonged to Zombie, Holloway remained true to his hard-hitting style.
In the second round, Holloway dominated, nearly securing a knockout and submission against Zombie, who displayed remarkable resilience. However, in the third round, Holloway swiftly rendered the Zombie unconscious just 21 seconds into the round with a powerful blow. Now, let’s delve into the earnings Holloway took home from this victory.
Estimating how much fighters make in their purses is quite tricky, as they rarely share details about their earnings. But with numerous reports available, we can make comparisons and come up with an educated guess.
As per reports, Holloway in April earned around $520,000 in his previous bout, comprising a $400,000 base salary, a $100,000 victory bonus, and a $20,000 sponsorship amount. So, taking that into consideration as he defeated Chan Sung Jung and secured a performance bonus, Holloway tonight racked nearly $600,000.
On the other hand, in his last fight against Alexander Volkanovski, the Korean Zombie took home $232,000, which included a $200,000 base pay and a $32,000 sponsorship portion. And, although he lost at UFC Fight Night Singapore, Chan Sung Jung with his retirement fight might have earned over $250,000.
