    UFC Phoenix salaries: Penn, Lauzon lead the way

    Despite losing badly, B.J. Penn scored the highest reported salary at UFC Phoenix.

    The UFC’s first event of 2017 didn’t exactly break the bank. The promotion’s latest trip to Phoenix had just three fighters with six-figure salaries, and only one other competitor breaking the 50k mark. B.J. Penn, who came out of retirement again just to get badly beaten up by Yair Rodriguez, was the top earner with $150,000, while the man that defeated him made $100,000.

    Veteran Joe Lauzon had the second-highest salary, taking home $116,000.

    Here are the full numbers, which were released by the Arizona Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission. As usual, these are just the reported salaries for each fighter, and don’t include performance bonuses or extra discretionary money from the promotion.
