MMA salary for Rage in the Cage champion?

dont answer if u dont have any idea and are making a complete guess, but i wanna know how much a top fighter, like the lightweight champion, in a small pro event like Arizona's Rage in the Cage would earn per bout. i know that the average fighter would probably get only a couple hundred bucks.. but in this scenario could this fighter make over 3 or 4,000 for making an appearance or is that too much?

1. MMA fighters only get paid for each fight, and how much you get paid depends on what you negotiate on the contract. 3 to 4 thousand for a top name is a good estimation, could be more depending on how good your management is negotiating.
2. Try contacting the event and asking them. Say you are doing a report for school and you need the average.
3. Fighters are really paid more for their popularity than actual fighting skill. If it is a big name, they could make 5K or higher. A guy without a name who is champ of RITC probably gets paid 3K. They can also clear a couple thousand off of sponsors.
