The disclosed salaries doesn’t include PPV incentives or cut of ticket sales but considering no one showed up to the fight and there were thousands of empty seats in the stands, it’s hard to imagine that Peterson got paid much more than what is being reported.

There is absolutely no way anyone is making ANY money from this fight.
