Arizona joins Nevada, Florida among commissions no longer releasing fighter payouts
Transparency on fighter pay continues to dwindle.
"The NSAC commissioner who supported amending statute 467.1005 was Staci Alonso, who formerly worked for the Fertitta-owned Station Casinos and whose brother-in-law was a UFC lobbyist as recently as 2019."
"It’s not known why Arizona stopped retaining purse information on combat sports, but this does come after the state hosted two major Bellator cards and one UFC event over the past several months. The UFC has only been to Arizona five times, and last year’s UFC 263 was the first pay-per-view in the state. They’ll also have a DAZN main event this weekend between Carlos Cuadras and Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez for the WBC super-flyweight title."
