If you aren’t living under a rock, you’d probably know Max Holloway, the reigning BMF champion will return to action at UFC 308 with a chance to become a two-time featherweight champion when he co-headlines the PPV against the defending 145 lbs king, Ilia Topuria. While that fight awaits, Holloway has already carved a career that most UFC fighters can only dream of.

Max Holloway is a main eventer, and when he’s not headlining PPVs and Fight Nights, he’s putting on some of the absolute best battles that fans have ever witnessed. Remember the knockout that earned him the BMF title? That last second of the final-round knockout remains one of the most jaw-dropping moments ever. So this begs the question as to what ‘Blessed’s net worth could be amid these scintillating performances. Well, let’s find that out!

What is Max Holloway’s net worth in 2024?

It’s been a real rise to stardom for Hawaii’s own Max Holloway, who started his UFC career with a mere $5,000 base salary. Since then, he’s racked up a lot of heavy paychecks as his reported net worth seems to be around $5-6 million. The increase in his paycheck is all because of his accolades of capturing the featherweight title and the symbolic BMF title, which he still holds.

Other than that, the rise in Max Holloway’s stock can also be credited to a set of other records that ‘Blessed’ has created. He still holds the top position for most significant strikes landed and attempted in a single fight, which was against Calvin Kattar, back in 2021. Holloway also holds the all-important record of landing the most strikes by a fighter in their overall UFC run, which, in some ways, validates his claim about being the best pugilist in the UFC, or at least, makes a case for it.

All these statistics and brilliant performances throughout the years have made Max Holloway a certified star and one of the big-bucks earners in the whole UFC roster. But how much does he get paid? Let’s do a deeper inspection on that front.

How much money does ‘Blessed’ make? Top UFC payouts

As we’ve already mentioned, it was just a mere $5,000 as a base salary when Max Holloway started in Dana White‘s promotion. But after a dozen years of fighting under the same banner, the Hawaiian native’s base salary has risen to over an estimated $500,000. An astonishing jump in the UFC, as most would believe, given that the pay issue has been a focal point of the world’s premiere MMA stage.

The most money Max Holloway ever made from one single fight was against Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, according to certain sources. While he won the BMF title, ‘Blessed’ also took home a hefty $2.7 million paycheck, that included two bonuses, totaling $600,000. That was one of the biggest payouts during that historic triple-century pay-per-view.

On the other hand, his next big payout came against Brian Ortega when he was granted a $1,050,000 paycheck for his performance at UFC Vegas 42. Finally, the next big payday didn’t touch a million dollars, but he did receive a big 6-figure sum, $990,000, to be exact, in one of his losing efforts against former champion, Alexander Volkanovski.

All in all, the Hawaiian native’s total career earnings are estimated to be over 9 million dollars, but it’s based mostly on speculations. Now, for the final part of this article, we’ll be looking at all the sponsorships and endorsements that Holloway earned through his popularity as an MMA star.

Who endorses Max Holloway?

Max Holloway has had quite a few sponsorship deals, including the Reebok deal, which many fighters on the roster have. After all, they were partners with Dana White’s promotion from 2014 to 2021. Moving on, ‘Blessed’ also has earned money from his sponsorship deal with men’s grooming company, Manscaped, which also sponsors several other UFC fighters, including Stipe Miocic and Derrick Lewis.

The next big brand that has partnered with Max Holloway is Anheuser-Busch-owned Budweiser. Finally, the 32-year-old also has a YouTube channel, with more than 342,000 followers, which helps him earn those extra bucks. This strategy has been adopted by a plethora of UFC fighters, and some of the most popular ones have more than a million subscribing fans.

After failing to regain his title from Alexander Volkanovski, Max Holloway is all geared up to right the wrong against Ilia Topuria in Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile, there’s been another proposal put in front of him by former rival Dustin Poirier for a single-night 4-man BMF tournament. It will be interesting to see how the UFC 308 outcome turns out to be and how it affects his plans going forward. However, one thing is for sure, it will be great on the financial side of things.
