UFC Welterweight Champ Georges St-Pierre says he makes between $4-$5 million per fight

The amount of income for UFC fighters disclosed to commissions following events is oftentimes not near the amount of money those fighters are actually making, especially for fighters on the top of a card. However, it's not often that a fight will actually comment on how much they take in from fight to fight. UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre - unquestionably one of the top two draws on pay-per-view for the UFC - has given a rough estimate of his earnings in a comment made to the Agence France-Presse:

"I learned that the UFC makes the most money on pay-per-view when I am fighting. That made me smile. For me, a fight is [worth] $4 to $5 million, and in the city where the UFC holds its events, there are economic benefits of between $15 to $20 million. It's huge!"
