Shane Burgos, Four Others Earn Six-Figure Paydays

Shane
Burgos earned a flat $100,000 for his unanimous decision
triumph over Yamato
Nishikawa at
PFL 6 this past Friday.

The UFC veteran was one of five fighters from the card to take home
a six-figure payday. Burgos was the only one of those whose
earnings didn’t include a win bonus. The Georgia Athletic and
Entertainment Commission recently released salary figures from the
event. PFL 6 took place at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta.

Defending lightweight champion Olivier
Aubin-Mercier and returning welterweight king Sadibou Sy
earned $100,000 apiece for their victories in the evening’s
featured bouts. Aubin-Mercier defeated Anthony
Romero ($15,000) via third-round knockout in the PFL 6 main
event, while Sadibou Sy
scored a spectacular spinning wheel kick KO of Shane
Mitchell ($10,000) in the co-headliner. Additionally, Magomed
Magomedkerimov and Natan
Schulte earned $100,000 apiece for wins over David
Zawada ($20,000) and Raush
Manfio ($30,000), respectively.

Also of note: While Schulte and Manfio were
suspended by the PFL for a substandard fight, they will not
face further penalties from the Georgia commission.

Note: The disclosed purses reported by state athletic
commissions do not include any performance-based or discretionary
bonuses that may be awarded to a fighter by the promotion.
Additionally, the reported figures do not reflect any deductions
made by the commission for taxes, insurance, etc., and do not
include any sponsorship money that a fighter may acquire for their
performance.
