Although she tasted a bitter defeat inside the Octagon, an unbelievable "windfall" poured in outside of it. Lucero Acosta (32), a female mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter of Mexican nationality, generated an additional revenue of $500,000 (approximately 700 million won) overnight due to an unexpected costume exposure incident during the match.
According to reports by the New York Post and others on the 21st (Korean time), Acosta faced Shannon Clark in her PFL (Professional Fighters League) debut bout held in Chicago, Illinois, USA, on the 17th.
The incident in question occurred during a fierce exchange. As Clark aggressively pressed Acosta against the canvas floor and attempted to land punches, Acosta's competition top momentarily rode up, exposing part of her body directly on the live broadcast screen.
Despite the shocking broadcast accident, the match continued without interruption, but Acosta, who had lost momentum, ultimately suffered a TKO defeat with 1 minute and 59 seconds remaining in the final round. Her winning streak, which had continued since September 2022, was halted, bringing her overall record to 6 wins and 3 losses.
Acosta bowed her head as her winning streak ended, but the real plot twist unfolded immediately after the match. The attention of fighting fans worldwide who watched the live broadcast exploded toward her paid subscription platform.
Acosta, who has enjoyed thick popularity under the nickname "She-Wolf," surprisingly revealed the mysterious figure "$500,000 (approximately 700 million won)" through her SNS story after the match. It is interpreted that new paid subscribers surged geometrically right after the exposure fiasco, generating a large amount of additional revenue. Although she missed out on victory, she secured a sum that far exceeds the fight money of an average major tournament champion.
Acosta, who previously drew attention with training videos in a bikini, continues to maintain her hot popularity from Combate Global to the PFL stage. For Acosta, who repaid the bitter defeat inside the cage with an overwhelming financial cushion, it was truly a weekend where she could shout "It's actually better."
