UFC 273 Fighter Salaries, Incentive Pay, Attendance & Gate

Alexander Volkanovski continued to cement his legacy as one of the best ever to do it, as was fittingly the top earner at UFC 273

Please note that these are ESTIMATED purse totals, as the Florida State Athletic Commission doesn’t release official purse info. However, having done estimates for the past 15 years, I am pretty good at calculating payouts.

Sorry - this info is behind the dreaded paywall because of all the time I’ve spent over the years (close to 15 years) studying pay data so I can get good estimates for you. If you believe it is a worthy cause and worth your while, you can hit the subscribe button and pay just $5/month (or $40/year) to unlock all my UFC salary data, including fight by fight breakdowns of fighter pay, UFC career earnings for over 2000+ UFC fighters (dating from UFC 46), and more!

Get 20% off for 1 year

Attendance: 14,605
Gate:
$3,550,000

Alexander Volkanovski: $512,000 ($400,000 to show, $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus, $20,000 Fan Bonus of the Night (paid in bitcoin), $42,000 fight week incentive pay)
