Andy Foster, Executive Director of the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission, tells MMA Chump via email that payout information will not be released:
I don’t release purse info. You could ask the promoter if they do.
Well we all know the only payout info we’ll get from Dana White and the UFC will be the bonuses for that night. UPDATE: We received UFC 88 fighter payouts a couple days ago, I have been under the weather and just updated. :)

That is disappointing. Why doesnt UFC post the payouts themselves? What would the benefit be to keeping it on the down low?
