Joe Ferguson prize money
Joe Ferguson has been paid $750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3559th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 200 m, and it was 7th.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
The payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| London Athletics Meet 2023 | 200 m | 7th | $750 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $750 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Athletics Relays
What Joe Ferguson ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed 4 × 100 metres relay | 3rd | 40.88 | $6,000 |
The World Relays have paid $6,000 for the one team Joe Ferguson ran on in Guangzhou 2025, and all of it went to Great Britain rather than to the four who ran. The $750 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team he ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. He ran alongside Asha Philip, and the Diamond League has paid them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Joe Ferguson won?
$750, which ranks 3559th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2023.
What is Joe Ferguson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$750, for finishing 7th in the 200 m at the 2023 London Athletics Meet. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Joe Ferguson gets paid?
Entirely by where he finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a place is worth the same in the men's 200 m as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
What did Joe Ferguson's World Relays teams win?
$6,000, across one paid final in Guangzhou 2025. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Joe Ferguson or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Joe Ferguson earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Joe Ferguson is Jesper Hellström on $750, and one below Joseph Deng on $750. Joe Ferguson is one of 249 Great Britain athletes athletics has paid, and Great Britain athletics prize money adds them up to $6,351,625 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 200 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Joe Ferguson has been paid in one of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 800 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and London Athletics Meet has its own page across every edition of it. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the mixed 4 × 100 metres relay page.
