ONE Championship star Rodtang is set to be the highest-paid Muay-Thai Fighter as he is set to earn US$300,000 per fight as per ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong. The amount equals to 10 million baht.

“Rodtang will earn US$300,000 per fight, It’s the highest [pay] in the world for Muay Thai by a huge margin,” Chatri noted in the interview.
