UnderGround Forum >> Bellator 85 Fighter Payouts

http://www.mma-manifesto.com/ufc-fighter-salary-database/bellator-lxxxv-fighter-salaries.html

How much Bellator pays their fighters has remained a bit of a mystery all these years due to the promotion putting the majority of their events on in areas that don't release fighter purse info. But that changed with their first show of Season 8 - Bellator LXXXV (aka Bellator 85) which took place Jan 17th in Irvine, California. For that event we have requested and received the fighter purse info from the California State Athletic Commission. And featherweight champ Pat Curran did quite well for himself.
