De La Hoya did not reveal the amounts that will be paid to Liddell and Ortiz. However, Oscar said that the amount pocketed by the fighters will also depend on the pay-per-view of the event.

“The message I want to send here is: Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, this trilogy with this fight going on, they're going to make the most money they've ever made in their careers. It's incredible. I'm actually impressed by this, because I thought Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell – with two big names – would have made a lot more money in their careers.
