Kayla Harrison says she got ‘favorable’ new PFL deal, repeats highest paid female fighter ever claim

Recently, manager Ali Abdelaziz made quite a bold claim about two-time PFL tournament winner Kayla Harrison. In a nutshell, Abdelaziz declared Harrison as the “highest” paid female fighter “ever.”

“The highest-paid male fighter in the UFC is Conor McGregor. Number two is Kamaru Usman. Everybody else? I guarantee you, Kayla Harrison makes more money than all these other two guys I just mentioned. Guarantee you,” he said in a recent interview.

Without giving the specifics of her new PFL deal, Harrison recently spoke with TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter to confirm Abdelaziz’s claims.

“I do think so, yes,” Harrison said of her manager’s previous claim.
