Hamill at 10,000? thats pretty low
and Palhares at 7,000?!? thats ridiculous.
even if these two guys aren't as experienced as the higher paid fighters, their salary should take into account that they are fighting contenders. Palhares makes 7K and his opponent makes 250K!!! It doesn't seem fair to have such a difference there. I'm not saying that his paycheck should be in the same ballpark as henderson's, but c'mon.

this happens every time we post up the salaries. both of those fighters are on their first contract so their salary is going to be low until their contract expires and they have to re-negotiate.
