PFL 4 Salaries

The 2023 PFL playoffs witnessed Bubba Jenkins and Movlid Khaybulaev scoring significant victories and becoming the highest earners at the PFL 4 card event, hosted in Atlanta.

Salaries for the card were disclosed by the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission to MMA Hook via an email this past Monday, following the conclusion of the card on Thursday, June 8.

Jenkins and Khaybulaev were the main earners, each taking home $100,000. This consisted of $50,000 in show money and an additional $50,000 win bonus. Jenkins defeated Sung Bin Jo with a first-round rear-naked choke submission, guaranteeing his entry into the PFL playoffs. Khaybulaev, aiming for a second PFL championship, subdued Tyler Diamond in the second round, after first winning the featherweight title in 2021.

In a surprising defeat, 2022 PFL featherweight champion Brendan Loughnane, despite winning the $1 million grand prize in 2022, fell to Jesus Pinedo. He earned $50,000, but his 2023 season ended prematurely due to a first-round knockout that ousted him from the playoffs.

Likewise, Marlon Moraes, who announced his retirement from MMA post his loss to Gabriel Braga, pocketed $50,000 in his final career match.

Jesus Pinedo: $30,000 (show: $15,000, win: $15,000)
