The UFC on the other hand, aren't paying their fighters that much and have been constantly selling over a million pay per view every event lately.
They are rumored to have bought pride for 70 mills.

It seems to me UFC is growing rapidly but the payouts for the fighters isn't increasing propotionally, but I don't know for certain and it may be premature to pay higher. It amazes me how many of these guys just love to fight and are willing to get their heads bashed in for a couple grand. I hope the organizations begin having large pay days to get the best fighters out there and to develop the sport by encouraging future fighters to begin training and looking to make a name for themselves in this sport rather than sports on the decline like boxing.
