when you consider a decent NHL hockey player, not a star, is making 3-4 mil a year salary and George St Pierre a UFC icon is making 900k - that ain't gonna last, MMA fighters have to be smarter than that.

GSP is being paid by the UFC officially 900k. That's his contract. No FOTN, no SOTN, or any bonues are attached to that. As well as Merchandising.
The UFC puts Advertisers in front of MILLIONS of people eyes every month, and it's a demographic that spends money.
