The UFC generated more revenue in 2022 than every other combat sports promotion combined.
Per a report from Josh S. Nash of Bloody Elbow, the Las Vegas-based promotion raked in a record high of $1.140 billion. Perhaps even more impressive was the UFC’s profit margin for the year.
“In looking at the profits of UFC, their net income (profits) are even more impressive, growing from $119 million in 2015 to $177 million in 2020 to $272 in 2021 and reaching $387 million in 2022, a margin of 34%,” Nash wrote. “In other words, for every dollar they see in revenue, roughly 1/3 of it will end up as a profit.
