UFC Fight Night Singapore Purse and Pay: Will Max Holloway Make More Money Than Korean Zombie?
UFC Singapore Purse and Payouts: Who will earn more?
Estimating fighters’ purses is not easy, given that they seldom reveal any information regarding their earnings. However, with so many reports, we can now compare and arrive at a ballpark figure. So for this fight, we will do the same to see who will earn more.
According to reports, in his last fight, Max Holloway took home $520,000. This included a $400,000 base pay, $100,000 win bonus, and $20,000 sponsorship. Therefore, if he can beat Chan Sung Jung and get a performance bonus, Max Holloway could earn close to $600,000 this weekend.
The Korean Zombie, on the other hand, took home $232,000 in his last fight against Alexander Volkanovski. This included a $200,000 base pay and a $32,000 sponsorship share. Therefore, if he can get a win bonus and performance bonus at UFC Fight Night Singapore, Chan Sung Jung could earn over $350,000.
However, although The Korean Zombie could top his earnings from his last fight with a win this weekend, he will still earn less than Max Holloway. If we go by the reports, Holloway’s base pay is double that of Jung’s. Thus, the Hawaiian will definitely earn more.
