The Nevada Athletic Commission, the entity that sanctioned the show, disclosed the scholarships paid to the athletes and both Usman and Covington received US$500, around R$2.04 million at current prices, for their performances.
Among Brazilians, the highest payment went to Amanda nunes. The bantamweight champion, who defended her belt against Germain de Randamie, pocketed US$450. The Dutch woman, outperformed by the judges' unanimous decision, was left with 'only' US$100.
Yes, José Aldo, who despite losing in his bantamweight debut, received a good payday. The 'People's Champion' won a purse of US$400, approximately R$1.6 million. Already Marlon moraes, who beat Aldo on the main card, received just over half of his rival's earnings ($220).
