If I have a car, and don't want to sell it , and my neighbor insists that he wants to buy it, I'll ask him for 2 millions, he would answer I'm crazy, but he knows I dont want to sell it.
Maybe he didn't want to fight with ProElite or just doesn't want to fight.

And honestly... while Randy said he left cause of Fedor, the main reason is because he is unhappy with his pay.
If the UFC actually accepts Fedors something close to that... you better believe Randy will not step in the ring for at least something close, if not more, than what Fedor is making...especially if he still considers himself the champ.

Well said. Same thing I was thinking.

Considering Brock Lesnar got 500k for being a big terd, Fedor has the same crowd draw but can actually fight. Its a car haggle right now. Orgs will come up and when it comes down to it Fedor's puppetmasters will go down a lil. A deal should be coming soon. They gotta ride the wave and strike the perfect balance of getting as much as possible before people dont wanna see you fight anymore. Hopefully a deal is made before the latter happens.
I dont think that Fedor would be as big a draw as even Lesnar just due to the fact that most casual fans probably dont know who he is, and they all know lesnar. Fedor would have the biggest draw in Japan he is like a god over there..

They'll know who he is when a commercial is aired stating "He beat the current UFC HW Interim Champ twice."

I personally think these fighters should make alot more than what they are making now. compared to what some of these boxers make mma fighters are getting chump change, especially conesidering ufc ppv's outsale boxing'. i would also loooove to see the ufc sign fedor for 2 mill a fight and tell randy to **** off!

I thought we all knew thats how much he wanted lol, considering thats how much M-1 was suposed to be paying him. No matter what he will be the highest paid MMA fighter in the game, and IMHO he should be. I don't think anyone in the US will be able to capitalize on him as well as Dream or WVR would be able to thugh, since not very many North American fans are familiar with Fedor and his exploits.

$2 mill is an awful risk for anyone for the overrated Fedor. Im almost of bored of this saga as I am of the Randy one.
$2 Mill for Fedor to to a Mirko would be rather bad business for the UFC. I'd sign him for less and then if he makes champion then you pay him what he wants.
