    Oh, and Dan has denied the claims by DW that he wants to be by far the highest paid fighter.

    My guess is that Dana is referring to the signing bonus and dividing that by the number of fights on the contract--putting the bonus and the per-fight pay together might push his salary up above what most fighters make pre-PPV cut and sponsor payout, not including 'of the night' stuff.

    So if it's a six fight contract, $1,000,000/6 = $167k + per fight pay ($125k to show/$125k to win) = $300k. Or something like that.
