Yeah....he agreed to get low pay in exchange for them pimping him out and making him a star (which would make him more money in the long run presumably).

Do note, though, that this doesn't include win bonuses (usually double pay for undercard fights, and an extra 15-50 thousand for the rest, depending on the inital pay the fighter gets[more initial pay=larger win bonus]).

And nobody really knows how much Pride pays their fighters. There was a rumor that some fighters made like up to 4 million for a fight, but the largest confirmed payout that I know of was 1 million for I think Fedor to fight on the New Years Eve card. Interestingly enough, I'm pretty sure that the TV station paid his salary for the event, not Pride
