Muaythai Premier League prize money confirmed

The Muaythai Premier League has not only impressed with their current roster of fighters, but their prize money is just as impressive. Muay Thai Authority has confirmed with president and CEO Clifton Brown the following amounts that will be paid out to the winners.

Females competing in the super lightweight (63.5 kg / 140 lbs) division, a prize of 20,000 U.S. dollars will be awarded to the champion.

The four men's weight divisions prize money is set up differently. The champions of the welterweight (66.67 kg / 147 lbs), light heavyweight (82.55 kg / 182 lbs) and heavyweight (95 kg / 210 lbs) divisions will take home a prize of 50,000 U.S. dollars. The champion of the middleweight (72.5 kg / 160 lbs) division will earn the biggest pay day of all with the prize money being set at 100,000 U.S. dollars.

The prize money will be in addition to the purse received by each fighter for each individual fight.

Previous reports of the prize money being set at 8 million U.S. dollars have been confirmed as incorrect by president and CEO Clifton Brown.
