We learned the suggested salaries in the boxing league created by the head of the UFC organization and the Arab sheikhs. Here are the amounts Dana White will pay fighters.
Dana White has announced his entry into the world of boxing for many years. At the end of 2024, the first concrete information on the matter finally emerged, and in 2025 the signing of the agreement between TKO Group, Sheikh Turki Alalshikh and Sela was officially announced.
The UFC organization was just represented at a special conference by Dana White, who posed for photos together with the aforementioned sheikh from Saudi Arabia and informed that new news on galas and contracts would be coming soon.
The Boxing Scene portal has obtained very valuable information on potential salaries in the TKO boxing league. The salaries are structured according to the scheme, which looks as follows. Of course, we are talking about payouts per fight.
Player ranking | Salary |
Non-ranked fighter | 20,000 $ |
5-10th place | 50,000 $ |
3-4th place | 125,000 $ |
Pretender to the belt | 375,000 $ |
Defending champion | 750,000 $ |
In addition, there are also special clauses in the contracts being prepared for TKO fighters. One of them says that if the fighters appear in the fight of the evening of an event sold on the PPV system then they have the right to negotiate a higher guaranteed sum or a percentage from PPV sales.
The second clause suggests that if a player is invited to participate in a major event co-hosted by Riyadh Season then he will receive 90% of the Sheikhs’ proposed salary. The remaining 10% will go to the account of the league created by Dana White and Turki Alalshikh.
