The stakes have been raised for the boxers on the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford undercard on Saturday night.
Co-promoter Dana White announced on Friday that there will be Performance of the Night and Fight of the Night bonuses in play for everyone apart from the headliners.
Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh, who is bankrolling the show, will shell out $100,000 for both awards.
Speaking during a recent appearance on the Stephen A. Smith Show, White said: “The opportunity wasn’t there during the press conference, so I’ll announce it right here.
“On the undercard fights — Canelo and Crawford are going to do just fine on Saturday night, they’re going to be ok.
“But on the undercard fights, we’re going to have a Performance of the Night and a Fight of the Night.
“$100,000 each for the fighters on the undercard from Sheikh Turki.
“So you can be involved in the Performance of the Night and the Fight of the Night and take home $200,000 for these undercard fighters.”
This model was popularised by the UFC, who usually dish out two Performance of the Night bonuses and one Fight of the Night on their cards.
These tend to be $50,000 each, although it has been adjusted for some special events, such as UFC 300, where bonuses were boosted to $300,000.
Who is fighting on the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford undercard?
18 fighters across 9 undercard bouts are eligible for the bonuses this weekend, with Canelo and Crawford given their own separate knockout premium for the main event.
In the chief support slot, White-backed fighter Callum Walsh (14-0) takes on the son of a legend, Fernando Vargas Jr (17-0), in a compelling super welterweight scrap.

The main card is capped off by Saudi prospect Mohammed Alakel (5-0), who takes on short-notice replacement Travis Kent Crawford (7-4).
Before that, there is a six-bout preliminary card, topped by a rematch between Serhii Bohachuk (26-2) and Brandon Adams (25-4).
When they met for the first time in March 2021, Adams came from behind to knock out Bohachuk in the eighth round.
But the Ukrainian is out for revenge at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.
The prelims also feature the return of former Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte foe Jermaine Franklin (23-2), who takes on double Olympic bronze medallist Ivan Dychko (15-0).
