Emanuel and Whitesell, who built the agency and led it to secure deals to purchase the United Fighting Championship for $4 billion in 2016 and to merge with the William Morris Agency in 2009, are poised to receive millions in salary and bonuses for several years.

Emanuel, who serves as the chief executive officer of Endeavor, could earn as much as $28 million in additional stock if the company's valuation exceeds $7.53 billion. He's also eligible to earn equity payouts throughout the next decade worth up to $14 million each if the company's market value hits specific targets, according to Bloomberg.

Endeavor is expected to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “EDR.”
