Bellator recently released their fighter payouts for their Bellator 290 event in California. The full payouts can be found here at Sherdog: https://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Bellator-290-Salaries-Bader-Eblen-Top-Payroll-with-36150K-Apiece-189106
The two defending champions – Ryan Bader (heavyweight) and Johnny Eblen (middleweight) took home the biggest disclosed purses at $150,000. The retiring legend, Fedor Emelianenko took home $100,000 after falling to the aforementioned Bader.
The salaries disclosed did not include any sponsorship money which likely made up a significant portion of their fight income given that Bellator fighters can sport sponsor logos on fight day (unlike the UFC).
