Alright, let’s gab about this fella, Derrick Lewis. You know, the one they call “The Black Beast” in that fightin’ ring, the UFC. I heard folks whisperin’ about how much money he’s got, so I figured I’d do some diggin’ around, you know, like a hen scratchin’ for worms.
Now, they say this boy, Derrick, he’s worth a whole heap of money, somethin’ like $3 million by the year 2024. That’s a lot of chickens, let me tell ya! Makes you wonder how a fella punchin’ faces for a livin’ can rake in that much dough.
I ain’t no expert on this fightin’ stuff, but from what I gather, Derrick gets paid every time he steps in that cage. They call it a “salary,” like what the postman gets, I reckon. But Derrick’s salary is a whole lot bigger, more like what a rich farmer makes in a good year. I heard tell he got somethin’ like $300,000 just for showin’ up to fight some fella named Rog�rio de Lima. Can you believe that? $300,000 just to show up!
And that ain’t all, no sirree! If Derrick wins his fight, he gets even more money, what they call a “win bonus.” That’s like findin’ an extra egg in the henhouse, only a whole lot bigger. For that fight against de Lima, they say he got another $100,000 for winnin’. That’s more money than most folks see in a lifetime, I betcha.
- Show-up money: $300,000 (that’s a lot of hay!)
- Win bonus: $100,000 (enough to buy a new tractor!)
- Sponsorships: $15,000 (that’s like sellin’ extra eggs at the market)
- Other bonuses: $50,000 (maybe for punchin’ real hard?)
Then there’s this thing called “sponsorships.” Sounds fancy, don’t it? From what I hear, it’s like when companies pay Derrick to wear their logo or say good things about their stuff. Like, maybe he wears a hat with a tractor company’s name on it, and they give him some money. For that fight, he got another $15,000 from those sponsorships. And they even gave him another $50,000 as a bonus, I don’t rightly know what for, maybe for punchin’ extra hard or somethin’.
So, you add all that up, and it’s a whole lotta money. No wonder they say he’s worth millions! That boy’s knockin’ folks out and cashin’ checks, that’s for sure.
They also say Derrick’s got the most knockouts in the whole UFC, like 15 of ’em. That’s a lot of fellas lyin’ flat on their backs, I tell ya. And every time he knocks somebody out, I reckon his price goes up a little bit more. It’s like havin’ a prize-winnin’ bull, the more he wins, the more he’s worth.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ it’s easy money. That fightin’ looks mighty tough, and I wouldn’t want my own boys doin’ it. But Derrick, he seems to be good at it, and he’s makin’ a good livin’ for himself. Three million dollars, that’s enough to buy a whole lotta land and a whole lotta chickens. Maybe he’ll even buy himself a fancy tractor, one with air conditionin’ and a radio. He deserves it, I reckon, after all that punchin’.
So, there you have it. That’s the lowdown on Derrick Lewis’s money, as best as this old woman can figure it. He’s a rich fella, that’s for sure, and he earned it by bein’ a tough fighter. Good for him, I say. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my own chickens.
