I saw those numbers a while back and I just got them again today , I believe they are . I recall right after that fight Shamrock posted a video of himself driving a new Ferrari as well .
Diaz made him look like a novice .

That's a good call , I'm gonna check how much Sylvia got for that fight . I can't wait till Sylvia fights that Polish steroid machine in May .
Affliction: 'Banned' salaries top a reported $3.3 million; Tim Sylvia earns $800,000 . I think Sylvia clearly wins this one for most overpaid joke ever .

Holy shirt!
If those numbers are correct, I'll have to agree with you.
Also T. Sylvia when he fought Fedor.

s--- that's what, $20,000 per second? that fight lasted 39 seconds if i'm remembering right. i rounded up to 40 seconds to make the math easier.
i wish i got that hourly wage.

Sure, when he was with EliteXC. When Kimbo fought Tank Abbott in only his second pro MMA fight, he was paid $125,000 base and a $25,000 win bonus. When he fought Seth Petruzelli in only his fourth pro MMA fight, he was paid $500,000 which was the same amount that Andrei Arlovski made on the same card. When Kimbo fought Houston Alexander in his first UFC fight he was paid $25,000 and no win bonus.

It's no wonder why these outfits went belly up with only a handful of shows under their belt .

Tito was paid 250,000K to fight Forrest
I am pretty sure he gets 250,000 regardless of win or loss with his new contract

That makes sense but at the same time, it doesn't. Tito USED to be a huge draw. His performances though, now at least, don't warrant that type of pay.

As outrageous as Sylvia's pay was. I think relative to their draw and talent was Buentello. 100,000 to fight on an undercard(affliction banned).
Sylvia was at least UFC HW champ who was coming off a decent performance, albeit a loss, against Nog.
Or lindland 375,000 on the same card. Or Rothwell 250,000 on the same card...
So almost 750,000 got affliction matt lindland, ben rothwell, and paul buentello. Well played.

I"m sure Tom Atencion wished he never signed up for that .

i was going to say liddell, minimum of around 250,000 per fight.
i bet he will get a massive paycheck at ufc 115 just to get tko'd by rich.
kimbo would have to be up there.
mitrione doesn't belong on a main card! so whatever he gets paid thats still too much.
