Misfits Boxing 22: Darren Till and Luke Rockhold payouts
Darren Till began his UFC journey with a paycheck of $35,000. Slowly but surely, he climbed the UFC ladder, making $106,500 against Donald Cerrone, $130,000 against Tyron Woodley, and $245,000 against Kelvin Gastelum, to name a few. His last fight in the UFC against Dricus Du Plessis earned him $211,000 before he left the promotion in 2023. He then appeared in his first boxing match, an exhibition against Mohammad Mutie in July 2024.
While it’s unclear whether he made similar amounts in his exhibition and the following two professional boxing matches with Misfits, he told Ariel Helwani it was the “best bit of money in 18 months, mate.” However, since then, Till has become popular in the Misfits, pulling in decent numbers for his fights, so it’s safe to assume that he is making a decent living from it. And now that he is facing a fellow UFC veteran, the payout should be substantial.

It might not be more than his paychecks in the UFC, but it’s likely around the same mark, say $250K to $350K. Meanwhile, Luke Rockhold is making his boxing debut, having left the UFC in January 2023 and a stint at BKFC. In his last fight against Paulo Costa, Rockhold pocketed a sum of $261,000. Although it’s unclear how much money he made from BKFC and Karate Combat, it’s safe to assume he will make a similar amount as Till in the coming fight. Now, for the others.

Tony Ferguson, Dillon Danis, and others payout
Tony Ferguson has seen highs in the UFC, but he has also seen lows. During his peak, the former UFC interim lightweight champion made $771,000 against Paddy Pimblett. While there’s been a sharp decline in his abilities since then, he remains a huge name in the combat community. It’s unclear how much Misfits is paying him, but it could be somewhere around $150K to $200K. Meanwhile, his opponent Salt Papi has made a name for himself in the influencer boxing scene.
This means, even his payout would be likely around the same mark, give or take $50,000. Coming to Dillon Danis, he reportedly made $100,000 and $120,000 during his time in Bellator. While appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, he claimed he had paid more than $1 million for his fight against Logan Paul. However, his upcoming opponent isn’t Logan, and it’s unlikely that Misfits would pay him a million again for the performance he presented in that fight.

Danis is likely making around $150K, with his opponent, Warren Spencer, making either the same or slightly less. Unfortunately, prior purse details for other fighters on the card are unavailable, so it’s difficult to tell how much they would make from the fights.
