Dana White unsure about bonus pay before UFC 324

Dana White is currently managing multiple ventures, including the launch of Zuffa Boxing and a new NASCAR reality series, while facing criticism over UFC fighter pay amidst a lucrative $7.7 billion deal with Paramount+. At a recent press conference for UFC 324, White admitted that the UFC has not yet determined the new bonus amounts for fighters, which have remained at $50,000 for over a decade. Despite promises of increased fighter compensation, there are growing concerns about the UFC’s commitment to addressing pay, especially for high-profile fighters like Justin Gaethje and Alexander Volkanovski. Critics argue that, given the company’s financial gains, their failure to establish new bonus figures just days before the event illustrates a disregard for fighter welfare.
