There are kickboxers that make a lot of money, but generally speaking, kickboxers are grossly underpaid in comparison to other combat sports competitors. This is the reason why many top-tier kickboxers, like Israel Adesanya, prefer to abandon the sport for mixed martial arts. He rapidly became a UFC champion and previously boasted that he made more money in a single UFC bout than he did throughout his whole Kickboxing career.
Consequently, the typical Kickboxing compensation ranges from $500 to $30000 every bout. There are instances in which boxers are paid far more, but you cannot enter the sport expecting to earn millions of dollars. It relies entirely on the bouts’ advertising and public attention.
How much do glory kickboxers make?
For example, a typical ONE Championship glory Kickboxer makes between $5,000 and $20,000 in every competition. However, when a Grand Prix is held, the winner might get an additional $1 million in addition to their usual wage which makes the person earns more money than usual.
