CM Punk’s Pay for UFC 203 Loss Revealed

It’s been reported that Mickey Gall took home a combined $30,000 for defeating CM Punk this past Saturday at UFC 203. CM Punk, however, earned $500,000 for losing. This was in addition to another $2,500 in sponsorship revenue paid by Reebok.

MMA source FrontRowBrian speculated that Punk will also receive a percentage of the UFC 203 pay-per-view buys. Given average buy rates and fighter percentages, Brian estimates Punk’s pay-per-view cut could be as much as $625,000.

Brian also notes that UFC 203 had over 1 million Google searches on Saturday night, according to Google Trends, but Punk was not in the Top 20 search topics for the entire day.
