"The UFC, led by former boxer-turned-promoter Dana White, has flourished. “MMA is the king of the [expletive] right now,” Toney said, which is another reason he’s here.
He’ll make an estimated $750,000 to $1 million Saturday.
In boxing, “I can’t get no fights.”

I saw this earlier and was kinda astonished, didn't believe it would be that much. Didn't Brock get 400 flat plus PPV? I like Toney and hope he wins but I don't think he deserves 7.5 - 1 million, thought the UFC was more doing him a favor.

Thats not from the UFC. At least I don't think so. I bet the UFC is paying him 50,000 to 100,000. I think the highest the UFC has paid someone is 500,000 for a fight, so I don't see them doubling that for a guy in his first MMA bout. That would be a large d--- slap to the face of every fighter in the UFC.

if they paid him a Mill that wouldnt be suprising at all. Its the UFC if you have name value then you can get a good price. lol them paying Toney anything under 200k is a rip off

Ya if you still dont understand why some get paid more than others, then you probably never will.

I understand what you are saying, but from an interview perspective, I absolutely understand why the disparity. If you asked them the same question, Toney's response would be "muh muh panumble ato muh mmmaha ashahammm-nmmm mumble urrrrrrr Dana White mrgh mrf lmn rrr." and carwin's would be "ummm...muh". So Toney is far more quotable. I wonder if any closed captioners call in sick when they know Toney's in town?
