Arman Tsarukyan, a ranked UFC lightweight, spoke about fees in the promotion.
"For a win, I receive $300,000, but if you loseāaround $100,000. You immediately pay 30% in taxes, and another 20% is deducted from the remaining amount: 5% to the gym, 5% to the trainer, 15% to the manager. You prepare for two to three months and end up breaking even. Yes, it's motivation to win, but in general, more often than not, it turns out that you fight practically without profit," Tsarukyan stated.
