Interim UFC Bantamweight Champion Manager Petra Yana Sayat Abdrakhmanov said that the information published in the media about the fees of the fighters does not correspond to reality.

“You need to understand how it works. The UFC themselves never publish the fees of fighters. After each tournament, the fees taken from the head are published. There are certain states where athletic commissions publish fees. There are few such states. Recently, this rule was abolished in Arizona. Previously, fees were published in Arizona, now they will not do this. The UFC is lobbying for this moment. The league is not interested in the general public, and in principle the professional circle of fighters, knowing each other's fees. This is a plus for them, it is easier to control the market.

However, after each tournament in Las Vegas or abroad, where sports commissions do not publish fees, certain sites or publics constantly publish these fees, but this is nothing more than guesswork. Yes, they can guess, but they can also give information by. I think it is wrong to disseminate this information, and normal sites or portals will never do this, because this is fake information. I think that fans who follow the sport more closely should also understand this, and not discuss who gets how much, because they don’t know this, ”Abdrakhmanov said.
