Jorge Masvidal’s Gamebred Boxing promotion paid out nearly $3 million in disclosed salaries for its most recent event.

According to a release from the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services, Unarmed Combat Sports branch, salary totals from Gamebred Boxing 4 on April 1 combined for $2,827,700, per
MMA Junkie. The event held at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, played host to a baker’s dozen boxing matches, featuring several Ultimate Fighting Championship veterans and even a few ex-champions.

The top salary figure from the event came for headliner Roy Jones Jr. ($700,000), who dropped a majority decision to Anthony Pettis ($650,000) in the main attraction. While the fight was Pettis’ pro boxing debut, it was the 54-year-old Jones Jr.’s 76th and first since 2018. The two discussed a rematch after the match concluded, although Jones Jr. might elect to return to retirement instead.

The majority of the competitors featured flat show purse contracts rather than win provisions, including all of the fighters on the main card. Ultimately, six different participants cleared six-figure salaries, with Jose Aldo the next highest after his draw with Jeremy Stephens. The former UFC featherweight kingpin took home $425,000 for the majority draw, while “Lil Heathen” pocketed $200,000 and called for the two to run it back.

Other noteworthy amounts including the co-main attraction combatants, ex-UFC greats Vitor Belfort ($400,000) and Ronaldo Souza ($200,000) who battled it out for six hard rounds. “The Phenom” emerged victorious to push his pro boxing record to 2-0. Former UFC athlete Pearl Gonzalez also took home a $50,000 check despite losing a decision to Gina Mazany, with the Alaskan receiving just $10,000 for beating Gonzalez.
