Yeah, it's certainly more than I thought but I'm assuming that includes all his endorsements for the fight too?

Slightly off topic but I was surprised how much the UFC is still a fringe-sport & unaccepted by the mainstream on my recent trip to the USA. I really struggled to find a bar in Manhatten that was showing UFC 136 - Edgar/Maynard 3. Even Mr Woodyatt on here kindly enquired at some well known sparts bars but despite them being listed as showing UFC on various websites etc. they weren't showing the fights.

Yeah GSP deserves the big money. He brings in the big crowds and whenever he headlines a PPV it usually does good numbers. Him and Brock are probably the 2 biggest draws the UFC have, it's only right they make big money.

Yeah he's he's had some pretty nasty injuries the last few years and it's taken a toll on him. Still, he's still dangerous and he's had some decent wins over guys like Spong and Leko the last year or so. I'm glad to see Wanderlei training with some elite strikers like him and Anderson, it's gotta be a good thing heading into a fight with Cung Le. Still got a bad feeling about it but at least he's doing the right things.

Dana said that St-Pierre is a bigger draw than Lesnar, which I'm not sure about to be honest. He may be now right enough, since Lesnar lost, but surely not in the past?

Yeah, theres no way GSP is a bigger draw than Lesnar. Of all four shows that Lesnar has main evented so far, all four of them have been well over 1million buys each - GSP's hasn't drew 1 million buys in main eventing any show yet, his highest so far has been 920,000 (UFC 94: GSP vs. BJ 2).

 

Dana might have meant he is a bigger draw as a whole (as in buys throughout his entire career) but Lesnar is by far the biggest draw in UFC history - thats a fact.
