I think this is a reason why sometimes champions loose inspiration and end up loosing against fighters who nobody ever heard of.

The reason the purse is so big is because of the champion, if it was a nobody vs nobody that purse would not be close so to say that whoever wins the fight should get the top purse is a robbery. But the fact that the best fighters would be more motivated over it is true.
