Hahahah yeah 2K to show to 30k to show. thats gotta be one of the biggest leaps in a fighters pay. But he did face Cro Cop.

Look for Frankie Edgar to make a pretty big leap too. Not nearly as big as Sanchez but considering the general appreciation of his performance I think he'll get a pretty good raise.

210K for tito and he lost...how much would he have gotten if he won?

Eddie Sanchez for a big payday for fighting CroCop...he made more losing to crocop than he would of made winning 5 others(more less)

i still think they're getting paid peanuts compared to other athletes tho,but its maybe better not to spoil them to make them work for money

What a Joke! Guys still fighting for $3K.

Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson in 2002 Paid $103 Mil
Sugar Ray Leonard made $40,000 in his very 1st pro fight against Luis Vega.
Even Don King makes $10 Mil for a title match. This sheds a new light on mma for me.

KIDS, THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD STAY IN SCHOOL!!

"Big Payday For Eddie Sanchez"?? Uuuuubbah?? You crazy man! Eddie S. Can go to Mcdonalds and make the same kind of money and he wouldent have to train daily, eat right and get his head beat in!! HHhmmm Peanuts, yeh um I think thats an understatement!! Man with a pay day like these guys are getting where do you think the elite are gonna be?? Yeh UFC has some, but you will see some real talent once the pay scales are hitting a few million a fight..
