The Irish mixed martial artist, back when he fought Neil Magny at UFC 292, received a base salary of $50 thousand. He further had his wallet thickened with $4500 from sponsorship deals. Needless to say, the fighter also received a hefty bonus equivalent to his base salary for UFC 292, as he defeated Magny via decision.
‘The Future’ returned to the UFC against Geoff Neal at UFC 298. While Neal received $108 thousand despite his loss via unanimous decision, Garry bagged just a couple of thousand dollars more than his opponent. The Irish fighter had the same base pay as before, that is $50 thousand. But with $55 thousand in win bonus, Garry pocketed a total of $110 thousand in the fight.
Judging from the trend, it can be expected for the Irishman to earn $75 thousand from base pay and a few thousand dollars from the sponsorship deals. If he wins, he can easily earn over $100 thousand.
