Kayla Harrison earns six-figure payday to lead all salaries at PFL 7

Two-time Olympic judo gold medalist Kayla Harrison earned her way to the finals of the ongoing women’s lightweight playoffs this past weekend while also earning the biggest payday for any fighter at PFL 7 from Las Vegas.

On Tuesday, the Nevada State Athletic Commission released the salaries to MMA Fighting for the fighters competing at PFL 7 from this past Saturday night.

Harrison earned an event-high $124,850 following her first-round submission win over Bobbi Jo Dalziel that put her into the finals where she will have the opportunity to take home a $1 million grand prize.

Harrison earned $100,000 in base pay along with an additional $25,000 after she advanced into the finals of the lightweight tournament.

The second-highest paid fighter on the card was welterweight finalist David Michaud, who earned the bulk of his money as he advanced his way through the playoffs before clinching a spot in the finals in December.

Michaud earned a base salary of $25,000 for each of his fights in the quarterfinals and the semifinals of the tournament. He then earned an additional $25,000 for winning in the quarterfinals and another $25,000 for winning in the semifinals.

When he fights in December, Michaud will have the opportunity to compete for the $1 million grand prize.
