Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett’s pay has changed a lot from his early UFC days to his more recent fights, so there isn’t one single number that covers “how much did he get paid.” Instead, you have to look at specific fights and then the rough totals being reported over time.

Quick scoop: what he got per fight (reported figures)

From publicly reported purse data and breakdowns, here are some key examples of what he has earned for individual UFC bouts (base pay + win/performance bonuses + sponsorship, where listed):

  • Early UFC fights (debut run):
    • First two UFC fights:
      • Base salary reportedly around 12,000 dollars each, which is the typical low entry-level purse.
      • With performance and win bonuses, his first two fights together brought in about 62,000 dollars in extra bonuses.
      • That put his total per fight in this early stretch into the tens of thousands rather than hundreds of thousands.
  • 2022 run as his hype exploded:
    • March 2022 vs Kazula Vargas (UFC London):
      • Reported breakdown example:
        • 12,000 dollars to show,
        • 12,000 dollars win bonus,
        • 50,000 dollars performance bonus,
        • 4,000 dollars in promotional/sponsorship pay,
        • Total around 78,000 dollars for that night.
* July 2022 vs Jordan Leavitt:
  * Reported as a big jump in pay: roughly 150,000 dollars to show, 150,000 dollars to win, plus a 50,000 dollars bonus and 4,000 dollars in sponsorship.
  * That added up to about 354,000 dollars for that fight.

* December 2022 vs Jared Gordon (UFC 282):
  * Similar structure, with 150,000 dollars show, 150,000 dollars win and sponsorship money, giving a total a little over 300,000 dollars for the fight (about 304,500 dollars).
  • 2023–2024:
    • December 2023 vs Tony Ferguson (UFC 296):
      • Reported total of around 158,500 dollars, including base pay and sponsorship, but without big extra bonuses that time.
* July 2024 vs “King” Green (UFC 304):
  * Reported 200,000 dollars upfront to show, 200,000 dollars win bonus, 200,000 dollars in additional bonus money, plus about 6,000 dollars sponsorship.
  * Total: roughly 606,000 dollars for that fight alone.
  • 2025 vs Michael Chandler:
    • April 2025 (UFC 314 vs Michael Chandler):
      • Reported purse numbers:
        • 500,000 dollars to show,
        • 500,000 dollars win bonus,
        • 50,000 dollars performance bonus,
        • About 6,000 dollars sponsorship,
        • Total around 1,056,000 dollars for that single fight.

These figures are typically compiled from athletic commission reports, media estimates, and bonus lists, so they’re best understood as reported/estimated payouts , not official audited numbers.

Overall “how much did he get paid?” (career and net worth angle)

If your question is more like “overall, how much has Paddy the Baddy made?” then the conversation shifts from single-fight paydays to:

  • Total UFC fight earnings:
    • Collated reports suggest he has already earned over 2 million dollars in prize money from his UFC fights by mid‑2025, not counting all sponsorship and external deals.
  • Net worth estimates:
    • One detailed breakdown in 2025 put his net worth at around 5 million dollars, combining fight purses, sponsorships, and content/brand income.
* UK outlets in early 2026 quote a similar ballpark, around 3 million pounds (roughly 4 million dollars) as a public-facing “net worth” estimate, again mostly tied to his fight career plus endorsements.

These net worth numbers are estimates, but they give a sense that his total earnings (fights plus sponsorship and media) have climbed into the multi‑million range, especially as his purses crossed 500,000 dollars for headline fights.

Why the numbers keep changing

His pay has grown quickly because:

  • He started on a typical low‑tier UFC contract, reportedly around 12,000 dollars to show, 12,000 dollars to win, before bonuses.
  • As his popularity exploded and he kept winning, he renegotiated contracts, which is why you see jumps from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and then into the low seven‑figure range for the Chandler fight.
  • Outside the octagon, he has:
    • Sponsorship deals with brands like Slick Gorilla, Apex Fightwear, and Arise Media.
    • His own content and brand activities, which add income beyond his official fight purse.

So “how much did Paddy the Baddy get paid?” depends on the moment in his rise:

  • Early UFC: roughly 20–80k per fight after bonuses.
  • 2022–2023: low‑ to mid‑six‑figure paydays per fight.
  • 2024–2025: moving into mid‑six figures and then around a million dollars for marquee bouts like the Chandler fight.
