when you divide fighter pay by the promotion's total revenue, i wonder if SF fighters make a GREATER percentage of the gross than UFC fighters? if true, that would mean SF is relatively more generous in sharing the wealth than the UFC.

I would venture to guess that SF pays a higher ratio compared to the actual gate (which just happens to be the only number we have to use).
zaromskis went on a tear in japan and had an awesome fight with nick diaz. he's a top ww right now and incredibly exciting, hard to imagine how he ends up travelling from the uk to the us to fight for only $5,000!
heun's performance was incredible, he showed tremendous heart and determination. i hope he was rewarded well with bonuses.
if carwin wants to make big bucks he needs to do more outside the octagon. he's a fantastic fighter and comes across really well to hardcore fans, now he needs to reach out to the casuals. only then can he get paid more than babalu!
