"March Badness" Fighter Payouts

According to the Florida State Department of Regulatory Affairs and a couple of sources, Roy Jones Jr.'s "March Badness" event's fighter payouts are now available:

MMA Fighters
Bobby Lashley - $40,000
Roy Neslon - $30,000
Jeff Monson - $25,000
Jason Guida - $15,000
Din Thomas - $10,000
Dennis Hallman - $6,000
Gabe Lemley - $5,500
Danny Ruiz - $2,000
James Freeman - $500
John Mowry - $300

Boxing Fighters
Roy Jones Jr. - TBD

BJ Flores - $12,500
Jose Luis Herrera - $12,500
Robert DaLuz - $1,800
Kelvin Price - $1,500
Kevin Howard - $1,500
Kieyon Bussey - $1,200
Eric Clinton - $800
Richmond Dalphone - $800

Roy Jones Jr. will reportedly take home 2/3 of the event's profit, which is likely isn't an incredible amount of money, but likely a lot more than anyone made on this card.

It's interesting to see that MMA fighters did make a tad more than the boxers on the card, although there were definitely some quality MMA names at the event. Surprisingly, Jason Guida made a cool $15,000 coming in on short notice.

The most surprising figure has to be Lashley at $40,000 in only his second MMA bout. The WWE superstar is obviously getting the royal treatment when it comes to using his star power from pro wrestling to attract fans. If he can manage to increase his MMA skillset, his revenue stream is only going to increase.
