The lowest tier UFC guys, when they are first breaking in, get $3000 to show, $3000 to win. So the lowest tier definitely do better in Pride than the UFC. But the middle tier and obviously upper tier are doing better. Eastman and Sanchez both were paid $30,000 to be the whipping boys for Rampage and CroCop. that's more than everyone on the Pride card except Silva, Rua, and Henderson. Sorry, there is no justification for paying Takanori Gomi just $20G. Or Nick Diaz just $15G.
