Frank Mir
The former UFC Heavyweight champion, Frank Mir has been a part of many high-profile matches throughout his 20 years old MMA career. Mir has faced some of the biggest names in the UFC Heavyweight division such as Brock Lesnar, Mirko Cro Cop, Daniel Cormier, and many others.
Frank Mir was also a part of one of the biggest UFC pay-per-views in his rematch against Brock Lesnar. But the former champion revealed he will be earning even more than that in his next boxing match against ex-boxing champion Kubrat Pulev, in the main event of this Sunday’s Triller boxing event.
In his latest interview with Ariel Helwani for MMA fighting, Mir says, “The second Brock Lesnar fight was close, but that was the second-biggest of my career. But no, this one is the biggest, In fact, if I hit my bonuses and I win, I’m basically touching on seven figures, and I’ve never been within a couple $100,000 of that in the MMA world.”{H/t MMA Fighting}
“I think Brock and I, combined, didn’t take 10 percent of what they did,” Frank Mir credits Triller for sharing more with fighters
The second battle between Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir sold 1.6 Million pay per view and it is one of the highest-grossing UFC pay per view. Still, Mir claimed they both didn’t even make 10% of what UFC made and he credits Triller for sharing more with the fighters.
Frank Mir added, “I think that’s a testament to what Triller is doing, pushing the paydays and sharing the income,” Mir said. “I mean, here, I realized this a couple years ago, this is kind of bittersweet for me — I looked at the amount of pay-per-view buys that Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury sold, and what they took home for paydays.”
“Me and Brock sold more pay-per-views, and I didn’t take nowhere near as much as either one of them. I think Brock and I, combined, didn’t take 10 percent of what they did.” {H/t MMA Fighting}
