We get paid way less than we deserve. We deliver shows and deserve to get paid more. We practically pay to do this. You deserve to get better paid if you sell the fight.

Jose Aldo

We only get paid when we fight, and we have to save money until the next fight.

Jessica Andrade

Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of being paid like NBA, NFL and soccer and baseball athletes. They have that cushion where they can kind of hang out. Even the guys on the bench. But for us, we don't fight, we don't get paid and that's the scary reality to it all.

Aljamain Sterling

I mean, being a stuntwoman never occurred to me until I gave up gymnastics and started doing martial arts and met people that were stunt people. I was like, 'What? Wait. You get to fight and flip and get paid?' I was like, 'Mum, dad, check this out - I could do this stuff and get paid instead of having you guys pay for me to do it.'

Zoe Bell

I realised that I could either fight and get into trouble on the street or I could fight and get paid in the ring. I chose the ring.

Anthony Joshua

I get paid the same money if I'm fighting on pay-per-view or on Fight Pass, and Fight Pass is just getting started. It's the future. The Internet, many people watch it.

Rafael dos Anjos

If you paid me $2 million, I'm sure I could lose my belly. But I don't get paid to look a certain way. I get paid to win fights. That's what I concentrate on.

Roy Nelson

Take into consideration I get to play-fight in my underwear every week, and I get paid very well to do it.

Matt Riddle

The one thing about me, if it is a 15-minute fight, I'm fighting every one of them 15 minutes. And if it's a 25-minute fight, I'll be fighting all 25 until the bell rings.

Derrick Lewis

I know what it is to feel like you've gotten into a 60-mile-an-hour car accident after a fight. It's pretty rough. It's why we are where we are. We get paid to fight the best in the world and that's something you know going in is part of it.

Carlos Condit

After I won my first amateur fight, I figured I would do fighting on the side while I was going to school. I got an offer after that amateur fight to take a professional fight. The opponent kind of wanted to have an easy win for her pro debt, and they said they'd pay me $1,500. I was like, 'Yeah, might as well get paid for what I was doing.'

Paige VanZant

Everything in New York is a fight. It's a fight to get on the subway. It's a fight to go to CVS. It's a fight to get a cab. And eventually, it wears you down.

Alexandra Bracken

I got paid about £5,000 for my first fight against some fat nobody in Wembley. If you're an amazing fighter you'll get between £20,000 and £50,000 for your first fight. I spent all that money on clothes.

Dereck Chisora

You are not paid to work hard. In fact, you are not paid for effort at all. You are paid for results. It's not what you do; it's what you get done.

Larry Winget

If you lose a fight you were paid £800,000 for, the next fight you'll get £100,000 so that's a big drop. If your ratings drop everything drops. I just want to make a good living for my daughter and the rest of my family and to enjoy life.

Dereck Chisora

I get paid a lot of money to go in there and fight on pay-per-view. I'm not fighting in the street.
