""I'm not getting one dollar more than I would have if this deal did not happen," stated Gaethje, who nonetheless expressed gratitude for the money he's been able to make from fighting, which has allowed him to invest in a commercial property, and take his family (siblings and parents) on vacation. "The Highlight" also questioned how, with all his post-fight bonuses (14 in total), they hadn't even equaled a million dollars."
""Gaethje, without getting into all that stuff, Gaethje was offered more money, and Gaethje never responded," White claimed, adding that the promotion and fighter were still on good terms. White did not give any specifics on what "more money" looked like, nor the terms of any new deal. It likely would have come in the form of a renegotiation or contract extension (more fights, more time etc.)."
Justin Gaethje will not earn additional pay for his UFC 324 main event despite the new Paramount+ broadcast deal. Gaethje noted that career earnings allowed investments in commercial property and family vacations. Gaethje's 14 post-fight bonuses have not equaled a million dollars. An offer of additional money was reportedly made to Gaethje but received no response, and no specifics on terms were disclosed. Dominance MMA has not commented. The UFC begins a seven-year, $7.7 billion U.S. broadcast deal with Paramount+ at UFC 324, headlined by Gaethje versus Paddy Pimblett.
