Doesn't seem right that Manny, who made it to the finals, was paid half as much as two fighters already eliminated (Miller and Lauzon) and half as much as his opponent (Diaz). He made the same amount for fighting in the finals as Andy Wang and Rob Emerson did to fight on the undercard of the same show...
I'm not a fan of Manny, but still, dude got shafted.
I think some good fighters will emerge out of this TUF. Diaz, Manny, Lauzon, and Miller will all be decent fighters I believe. Miller has the most to improve on, but I like the guy and I think he'll become a decent fighter. Lauzone and Diaz are probably the most polished and I'd love to see them go at it against one another. Lauzon will be a beast once he becomes a full time fighter. I think he could become the best fighter out of the bunch. Diaz is a well rounded fighter and a tough kid. Then you have Manny who much like Sherk is just a powerhouse for a 155 fighter. They may be short, but their physical strength makes them a tough matchup. Obviously Manny is nowhere near as good as Sherk at this point, but they are physically similar. I worry about that shoulder though. Evidently it is a recurring injury. He needs to get that sucker looked at and it may need surgery. You don't want to do any major damage to that rotator cuff or you're going to always have problems.
