UFC 304 fight payslips 'revealed' including Leon Edwards, Tom Aspinall and Paddy Pimblett

The payslips of fighters taking part in UFC 304 have been revealed ahead of this weekend’s huge event.

This weekend, the Co-op Live arena in Manchester will play host to the much anticipated UFC 304.

The likes of Tom Aspinall, Paddy Pimblett, Curtis Blaydes and Bobby Green will all be in action.

Meanwhile, Leon Edwards will headline the event as he looks to defend his welterweight championship against Belal Muhammad.

Ahead of the bouts, the reported salary the fighters will earn has been revealed.

As reported by Spanish news outlet MARCA, Edwards has a base salary of $500,000 and is expected to be doubled if he manages to get the better of Muhammad.

The Birmingham fighter is also reportedly set to earn a share of the pay-per-view buys.

Meanwhile, Muhammad is expected to take home at least $80,000.

Ahead of the rematch, Edwards said: “I was having my way, I feel like I was just getting into the fight, I hurt him in round one, I had him wobbled. I went for a cross-head kick and my finger kind of touched just under his eye.

“The way he was crying, I thought it actually went into his eyeball but it didn’t, it went under his lid. Skill-for-skill, I was the better man, I think it showed in the fight. I was piecing him from Round 1 to the incident happened. I definitely feel like he was looking for a way out.”

Aspinall is believed to be earning the same base salary as Edwards as well as a share of PPV buys. His opponent earned $200,000 plus $100,000 in bonus and is expected to earn the same this weekend.

Meanwhile, Liverpudlian Pimblett is set to earn a similar figure to his previous fight, which is set to be around $154,000.

Pimblett’s good friend, Molly McCann saw her salary go from $12,000 to $70,000 and could see herself earning a big bonus this weekend when she takes on Bruna Brasil.
