Paige VanZant earns more money selling erotic content on a private fan website than she does from her contracts with the UFC and BKFC.

VanZant set up her own fansite, which she aptly called PaigeFanZant.com, last February as an additional source of income.

The site has been a big success, to the point that her revenues from it have surpassed her earnings from the UFC and her lucrative partnership with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

According to the 27-year-old: “I will admit that when I joined with BKFC, the bare-knuckle boxing organisation, I earned more money than I had in my whole UFC career.

“Now, in less than a month, I’m earning more money than I did on my whole BKFC contract. It’s rather bizarre.”

VanZant has no imminent intentions to retire as a boxer but believes she is financially secure enough to do so.

“I am not required to have a normal job and return to work after I am finished battling,” she stated.

“”I’m not planning on returning to college or attempting to find out what’s next in my life after I retire.

“I’m able to just struggle and save money and plan for retirement; I’m able to simply retire.”

VanZant admits She was originally hesitant to pursue the money-making venture, stating: “There was always this back and forth.” There are two sides to this.

“I didn’t want to put myself in a situation where I’d lose career prospects as a result of having an exclusive content site, but I believe I’m already perceived as a sex symbol in the sports world.

“I might as well have a financial motivation for it. I desired to accomplish this on my own terms. Thus, I joined Fan Time, which is a distinct corporation.

“I am not a member of OnlyFans. PaigeFanZant.com is my own website, and I have a great deal of influence over what happens there. It’s essentially me engaging in exclusive activities. I’m honoured to be a part of it.

“I put forth a lot of effort to maintain my figure. I work hard to be who I am, and there is a side of me that is highly feminine and frilly, which I get to showcase on my fan site. I believe it is getting much more accepted now.
