The paydays for UFC 270 have been revealed by the California State Atheltic Comission.

Francis Ngannou pocked $600,000 for winning the undisputed UFC heavyweight title and his opponent, Cyril Gane, took home $500,000 in just his eleventh professional fight.

The other title fght on the card saw Brandon Moreno make $300,000 as he lost his UFC flyweight title to Deiveson Figueiredo, who took home $150,000.

The lowest amount paid to any fighter on the card was $10,000, which five different fighters took home.

Ngannou has talked openly about wanting to compete in a boxing ring at some point and he has pitched to do so while under contract with UFC.

The idea is the UFC would co-promote his boxing fights in a similar way they did with Conor McGregor for his bout with Floyd Mayweather.

Ngannou says he wants to move over to the lucrative world of boxing

Ngannou is looking to take on WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and the Gypsy King is interested, but being stuck in his UFC deal is proving problematic and that's strained his relationship with White.

The disparity is clear for all to see, though. Ngannou took home $600,000 for winning an undisputed heavyweight title fight. In heavyweight boxing, Fury is reported to have made $30 million from his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder.

It's not hard to see why Ngannou wants to move over to the lucrative world of heavyweight boxing and he's flatly told the UFC he won't fight for $600,000 anymore.

"I will not fight for $500,000, $600,000 anymore," he told ESPN's Brett Okamoto. "It's over. I took this fight for personal reasons and because I want to make sure that regardless of (whether) it's unfair, (whether) I have been wrongly treated, I can make my case of saying I have completed the eight fights."

Ngannou and White have been at odds over his new contract, a deal that is meant to expire this year. Had he lost against Gane, he could have been a free agent.

However, because of a 'champions cause' Ngannou will remain in the UFC for another year.

The Cameroonian estimates he will face Fury in 2023 - when he would be a free agent from UFC - and the money at stake is likely to be twenty times as much as he made in the biggest fight of his UFC career.

In NBA, NHL, NFL and MLB, athletes make between 48-52% of the revenue share that their teams and the league generates. UFC athletes get around 16% of the company's profits.

When you consider Fury made over 25 times as much as the entire card of UFC 270 - which was $1.8 million - it's certainly food for thought.
