Not too good was the attendance...
Cain got robbed...not in the fight but on this payout....he was the champ he should have got alot more. but its still alot of money
Interesting and kind of strange that Dos Santos got paid more of an initial fee than the champ. I can think of two reason for this...
1. Cain was inactive for a year, so his market value dropped.
2. Or Junior has better management.
or they signed contracts before cain became champ? if it was a 4 fight contract it means he was getting 100k to take on bigben which would be pretty good.
Yeah must be a managment thing very good point @cranestyle. But I still think that ufc should have at least keep it at no more then the champ
But the champ should get the better money for defending the belt. I would have thought that a renegotiation of the old contract would be in order upon winning a title.
$100.000 for the UFC champion thats a joke
