Several factors contribute to a UFC athlete's total payout for a high-profile evet, including guaranteed base pay, performance bonuses, pay-per-view points, and a share of the live gate.
Conor McGregor has earned the most in UFC history, with his total career earnings from direct fight pay estimated at around $39.3 million. He also holds the record for the highest estimated individual payday in UFC history, earned at UFC 264.
The event's live gate at T-Mobile Arena was the second-highest in UFC history at the time, generating $15.8 million. The 1.8 million pay-per-view buys also contributed significantly to the payouts received by the UFC 264 main-event headliners.
