If you asked 10 people in the US, 2 would have heard of UFC, 0 would have heard of Pride. Just because you and I are fans doesn't mean that everyone is.

You don't have to wait just take a look at what Pride FC is paying their fighters. It isn't just luck that they have the top fighters... it's because they pay for the best.

Where can I look at this info? I'm certainly interested.

UFC takes their sweet time before giving a fighter what they should get, it's feast or famine and i don't see it changing anytime soon as long as they keep ranking in the PPV's while not handing out the payrolls.... thats unless Pride's invasion of the USA is a success. Then maybe the UFC will be forced to treat their fighters with the respect they should have.

I think you're somehow mistaking me for some giant UFC homer.
UFC fighters don't get paid much. UFC is gaining popularity. It is still in its infancy in many ways (many people's first real exposure to it was TUF). As the UFC gets more popular in North America, and draws in more revenue, I can easily see more fighters (like Tito) holding out for, and getting, more money. I don't see how I'm being naive here, nor do I think I'm 'blinded by the UFC'. Thanks for the respectful chat though!
