UFC 274 Fighter Salaries, Incentive Pay, Attendance & Gate

Thanks to Charles Oliveira’s infamous trouble with the scales on Friday, Justin Gaethje got the biggest paycheck last night at UFC 274.

Please note that these are ESTIMATED purse totals, as the Arizona 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!

Attendance: 17,232
Gate: $6,130,000
