The up and coming fighters don't make much. Most are probably scraping by. However once you reach a certain level, the money starts to roll in. Not so much from the salarys from fighting but from the backend PPV percentages and sponsorships. To use your example of Chuck Liddell, at the hight of his career he was probably making 750K in fight salaries, but with his PPV deal and sponsorhips his total compensation was closer to 11 Million a year.
