Burgos seemingly received an offer that he couldn't refuse from the PFL, which was mentioned during an interview on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. The offer was also not matched by the UFC. While speaking with Helwani, Burgos mentioned that he is currently raising two daughters and believes that the PFL deal can help secure his family's future once he retires from professional MMA: "It was an offer I couldn’t turn it up. I’ve got two daughters. I’ve got to go back home, I’ve got to look at them in the face and be like, 'It was worth it' when it’s all said and done in this sport. With this deal, I feel like that'll secure that." Catch Burgos' appearance on The MMA Hour below: Shane Burgos didn't state exactly how much the PFL deal will make him each fight, but the now-former UFC fighter stated that he will be a very rich man after his first season in the organization: "When it’s all said and done, after the first season, obviously I plan on winning, I’ll be a multi-millionaire." In his second-most recent UFC pay-per-view card appearance, Burgos made $156,000 in total when losing against Edson Barboza at UFC 262. The American made a base salary of $75,000 for that fight and took home a bonus of $75,000, along with sponsorship money, according to MMASalaries.com.
