LOS ANGELES – BKFC KnuckleMania 4 is taking place Saturday at Peacock Theater, with some of the promotion’s biggest stars on the 12-fight card.
Atop the bill, former UFC standouts Mike Perry and Thiago Alves square off in the main event. The current face of the promotion, Perry earned the largest payday of any KnuckleMania 4 fighter with a disclosed purse of $600,000. All 24 fighters on the card earned a flat fee (as opposed to show money and win money), with five pocketing six-figure paydays.
On Saturday, MMA Junkie acquired a list of disclosed payouts from California State Athletic Commission executive director Andy Foster.
One fighter, Crystal Pittman, received a disclosed $500 payout, but Foster told MMA Junkie her pay from BKFC included various advances and deductions. The $500 listed was to account for the minimum required of BKFC to pay the commission ($100 per round).
