Jon Jones vs. Cyril Gane Wallets
Arguably the biggest UFC fight of the year takes place tonight when Jon Jones and Cyryl Gane square off at UFC 285 for the UFC heavyweight title. This fight is truly compelling and both men have supreme confidence to succeed this Saturday night. UFC fans are in for a treat when Paul vs. Fury headlines this UFC 285 pay-per-view extravaganza from T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Both men are expected to make the biggest purse of their respective careers. For Jon Jones, he’s set to make over $3 million for this fight alone, which is more than he’s previously earned in any of his UFC fights, despite being in 15 title fights. That’s just his guaranteed purse, with a potential another $5 million in bonuses depending on whether he wins the fight and how he performs.
For Ciryl Gane, he is expected to earn over $500,000 for this fight against the great ‘Bones’. This is also the biggest purse of her career and of course it could also increase if she succeeds. Both men are poised to win a fortune, but the question on everyone’s lips is how much money will the winner make?

Well, the answer to that question completely depends on who wins the fight. Both men are expected to receive a different fight bag depending on which man raises his hand. As you can probably expect, Jon Jones is likely to earn a lot more if he wants to win than if the Frenchman claims victory tonight.
If Jon Jones wins, the purse for the fight could improve a lot, that’s for sure. Fury’s fight purse is said to be around $3 million regardless of whether he wins or loses the fight. Up to $10 million could be deposited into the New Mexico man’s bank account Monday morning with his various endorsement deals, a potential earning bonus and a large chunk of pay-per-view.
If it’s Ciryl Gane who raises his hand at the end of the fight, he too could make a lot more money than his official fight purse indicates. He is expected to earn $500,000 from the fight alone, with an additional $1 million at stake if he wins the fight, his PPV participation and money from his various endorsement deals. The 32-year-old could earn more than $1.5 million just for this fight against Jon Jones if he really succeeds. What incentive is that!
How much will the winner of Jones vs. Gane earn?
The winner of the Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane fight is set to earn the biggest payday of his career. As we mentioned earlier, the winner of this fight will receive an additional bonus on top of what he already earned from his fight purse, sponsors, and pay-per-view participation.
In terms of numbers, both Ciryl Gane and particularly Jon Jones will earn far more than most heavyweights on the UFC roster. Of course, Gane is earning a lot as he is fighting the greatest MMA fighter of all time, and ‘Bone’s is earning a career high payday as he moves up to heavyweight and aims consolidate his legacy.
So after the final bell rings and the pair anxiously await who has won the fight, unless of course either wins the fight via knockout/submission, there is an additional $100,000 up for grabs for the winner. Yes, that is correct. The winner of Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane will get an additional $100,000 on top of his fight purse if he raises his hand.
Talk about an added incentive to win a fight! To this day, the American remains the favorite to win the fight with the best offshore sportsbooks. However, many people are backing Gane to win the fight as the underdog. He is currently priced at around +140 with the top US sportsbooks to claim an upset win here this weekend in the main event of UFC 285.
What a fight we have on our hands from Las Vegas on Saturday night. Fingers crossed that the actual fight lives up to the hype!
