With the Hendo negotiations, I remember Dan asking for "Tito money", which was like $300 grand flat rate per fight (I don't what that is in pounds), it was like a %50 raise. I also remember Dana and Dan making jokes about eachother and laughing in the media. I think it was pretty clearly just business.

With Fedor, I think M-1 was just fucking with Dana. With how much shit Dana's talked about Fedor, I can't imagine how he ever expected to sign him. I suspect they just liked watching Dana go back and forth with his bullshit. When they were negotiating, "Fedor's great, a true legend, the biggest signing we could ever make", etc., when they're not, "Fedor's shit, he hasn't fought anybody, he's afraid of the UFC", etc. He looked like an idiot during that period.
Hendo's last fight in the UFC he earned $250 so he wasn't far off $300. But Tito earned $450 against Bader but usually he earns $250. So i don't imagine he asked for Tito money.
