Elle Brooke and Paige VanZant are set to face off in a Misfits Boxing match this Saturday, May 25, vying for the vacant MFB women’s middleweight title. While the earnings for their upcoming bout remain undisclosed, a look into VanZant’s past earnings could provide some insight.
VanZant’s earnings during her UFC tenure were reported to be £400,000 by The Sun. However, during a BKFC KnuckleMania pre-fight press conference, VanZant claimed to earn $40,000 to show and $40,000 to win in the UFC, highlighting a significant increase in her earnings since joining BKFC.
Despite the lack of exact figures for her earnings in BKFC, VanZant’s move to bare-knuckle boxing was met with mixed results, as she suffered consecutive unanimous decision losses. Now, she’s venturing into influencer boxing, although she’s reluctant to embrace that label. A loss to Brooke could potentially disrupt her future plans in combat sports.
VanZant’s career trajectory is notable for her versatility across multiple sports. Initially rising to prominence in MMA, she later ventured into professional wrestling with AEW before transitioning to bare-knuckle boxing with BKFC. Despite setbacks in her recent endeavors, she remains determined to pursue success in gloved boxing, marking her fourth professional sport.
