The total fighter salaries have been released for the participants of UFC 117 and the first thing that pops out at me is how much base salary Chael Sonnen made for his fight with Anderson Silva. For everything he did to sell this PPV and for how many buys it ended up doing he should have been paid more. I don't want to hear about locker room bonuses either because those may or may not exist depending on who you ask. The salaries are as follows:
Anderson Silva: $200,000 (no win bonus)
def. Chael Sonnen: $35,000
Jon Fitch: $108,000 (includes $54,000 win bonus)
def. Thiago Alves: $60,000
Clay Guida: $56,000 ($28,000 win bonus)
def. Rafael dos Anjos: $12,000
Matt Hughes: $200,000 ($100,000 win bonus)
def. Ricardo Almeida: $35,000
Junior Dos Santos: $80,000 ($40,000 win bonus)
def. Roy Nelson: $15,000
Rick Story: $22,000 ($11,000 win bonus)
def. Dustin Hazelett: $18,000
Phil Davis: $18,000 ($9,000 win bonus)
def. Rodney Wallace: $6,000
Johny Hendricks: $40,000 ($20,000 win bonus)
