Coenen $2000 for a championship fight? Manhoeff makes $5000? I know backstage handouts and such but come on! My old BJJ instructor was often asked to fight, he did it once won the fight, made a few hundred and was out of work for over two weeks. Sure if you can make it to the top the money is there, but not always obviously. Bill Its after seeing these figures that I am glad I am not an MMA fighter just a fan!

I don't have an exact number, but the contract was a high five figures and if there was a win bonus involved, then it's probably six figures. I don't know the specifics of his contract, though.
