That $250 grand included $150 win bonus. From what I remember, Dan wasn't asking for a huge pay increase, but a guaranteed flat rate (like Tito, Brock, Anderson, GSP and a few others get). He wouldn't've been making a lot more for wins, but it could've over tripled his pay with a loss, plus he could've dropped 3 straight and still made the same money, like Tito. I think Dan was trying to hedge his bet if Silva beat him again, this way he'd still make good money, plus he'd get the same pay for the rest of his contract.
