How much do Boxers and Mixed Martial Artists earn per fight who are not famous or champions?

I wonder if they make enough to pay for medical and dental care for the trauma they are subjected to.

    Local or regional professionals: $100-$500 per fight.

    UFC: About $6,000 per fight. At least in the UFC there are bonuses for winning (often the same as what they're paid, so a $6,000 payment would go up to $12,000 with a win). And there are other bonuses for "Fight of the Night," "Submission of the Night," etc. So the rough estimates of $20,000 could be pretty accurate.

    Most pro fighters, including many in the UFC, keep their day jobs.

    Hope that helps.

    I know one person who got $300 for a fight, and saw in a documentary someone who got paid $800 for a fight. If we go with the $800 person, averaging 1 fight per month, that's----not a lot of money per year.

    Not alot, they typically earn less than $20,000 a year.

    They have other jobs in other to pay for medical bills.
