I still don't see it happening, unless Fedor's people have finally gotten realistic. The Russians want too much. -- nm

Some of the UFC clauses they want as part of the contract don't work. Sides, he's the #1 guy...if Dana wants millions, he makes the deal. - Will Hunting Jul 19, 09:16 10
- Problem is they can't do a 1 fight deal and have Fedor come kick Brock's ass and not fight in the UFC anymore - Stewie Jul 19, 09:23 8
  - I agree with this.....just UFC has the one guy who can demand the world from them - Will Hunting Jul 19, 09:28 7
    - well... i dont think any other promotion can pay him what the UFC can - Stewie Jul 19, 09:33 3
      - Affliction pays crazy money. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 09:36 2
        
        I'd rather have a UFC deal like GSP has that pays a % of PPV buys - Stewie Jul 19, 09:39 1
        
        Oh, for sure. But I think only the top level guys see a piece of that. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 09:41
    - what kind of money does Fedor make fighting there? As much as the UFC would pay him? -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 09:32 2
      - Supposidly he got about $2 mil in total for his last Affliction fight, but he also retains the rights to the footage of his fights - Stewie Jul 19, 09:35
      - $300,000 or so, but around 1.5 million, supposedly, with bonuses etc. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 09:35
- But no way Dana lets it become a Lalapalooza thing, though. - Spawn Jul 19, 09:18
