ONE chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong confirmed to the Post in June that Stamp’s teammate and the promotion’s flyweight Muay Thai champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon would receive the same US$300,000 figure for his fights going forward, becoming the highest-paid fighter in his sport in the world “by a huge margin”.
The 25-year-old Stamp will face South Korean veteran Ham Seo-hee for the interim atomweight MMA title in Singapore on September 30, with a huge payday now set to come her way.

“This fight, my purse is going to go up to 10 million baht,” she told the Post. “Yes, it’s so amazing, I will make history.

“Maybe I will buy some land, because in my mind I have planned a lot, and I will keep some money to build a big house.”

It was unclear if Stamp would receive the new purse only if she wins the title, or if it is already guaranteed for her next fight. The Post has sought clarification from ONE and Fairtex gym officials.
