Rashad Evans, despite losing Saturday’s UFC on Fox 19 main event in under two minutes, came out as the top earner on the card.
The Florida State Boxing Commission released disclosed payroll figures for the event on Monday, which added up to $995,000 for the card from Tampa. Evans took home $150,000 of that in his loss to Teixeira, who himself was the second highest earner with a $120,000 disclosed payday in victory.
