Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre earned $400,000 for his win over Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 -- although “GSP” would have earned the same amount in defeat.
According to figures released Monday by the Nevada Athletic Commission, St. Pierre was guaranteed a $400,000 purse, with no win bonus incentive. Hendricks, who came up on the short end of a split decision Saturday at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, took home a disclosed $50,000.

Other high earners on the card included welterweights Robbie Lawler ($166,000) and Tyron Woodley ($104,000), and lightweight Donald Cerrone, who led all undercard fighters with a $96,000 paycheck.
Note: The disclosed purses reported by state athletic
commissions do not include any performance-based or discretionary
bonuses that may be awarded to a fighter by the promotion.
Additionally, the reported figures do not reflect any deductions
made by the commission for taxes or insurance, and do not include
any sponsorship money that a fighter may acquire for his or her
performance.
