Powell’s POV: Lesnar is also believed to being receiving a share of the pay-per-view revenue on top of his $2.5 million. It’s the biggest payday a UFC fighter has received. Meanwhile, Lesnar’s opponent Mark Hunt was reportedly paid $700,000 for the fight. Thanks to Dot Net reader Darius Malcisky for his help with this story.
