Its the same in boxing. And there are rarely win bonuses there. For instance, even though Carlos Baldomir was the champ, he earned less than a 1/4 of what what an undersized but very popular Arturo Gatti got. Its all a matter of drawing power, and at that point Hughes, coming off his wins over Penn and Gracie, was a much bigger name.
