Please include the purse information, and all other compensation reported to the Commission, for all fighters competing under your jurisdiction from 2016 through the present.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Hello Connor : To facilitate this request I will first need to see what event we had by these promoters and what years and months. Anything prior to 2019 is in Achieves which can take up to two weeks to receive back. The man hour to dot his research I can't calculate until I can first determine what the number of events we are looking for. You have not provided a specific list of what shows and what dates.
If you can provide the specific shows and dates that will assist in you in research charges. The ABC mixed martial arts Data base is where all MMA fight records are recorded.
