You have to have a substantial record to make BIG money in a business where you usually fight 3 MAYBE 4 times a year. Now you DO make big money if you main event and win, but you have to be the top of the top to be able to pull it off, someone like Lashley aint going to make shit comparative to what he was probably making in the WWE. Also, if you LOSE you make shit. Making lots of money is not something many MMA fighters get to achieve.

Do a search for ufc fighter salary and you can get a fair idea of what its like in the big leagues, imagine how the people fighting at events that have 1000 people.

These numbers also include bonuses that Dana White gives such as fight of the night and best knock out which is pretty hypocriful considering he was knocking on EliteXC telling people they would get more money standing up and knocking out Kimbo then submitting him.

Last I recall main eventors made $250k-$800k in wwe, i could be wrong however.

Examples:
* BJ Penn ($250,000) def. Sean Sherk ($35,000)
* Wanderlei Silva (150,000) def. Keith Jardine ($10,000)
* Goran Reljic ($6,000) def. Wilson Gouveia ($18,000)
* Lyoto Machida ($100,000) def. Tito Ortiz ($210,000)
* Thiago Silva ($50,000) def. Antonio Mendes ($4,000)
* Rousimar Palhares ($10,000) def. Ivan Salaverry ($20,000)
* Rameau Sokoudjou ($80,000) def. Kazuhiro Nakamura ($20,000)
* Rich Clementi ($40,000) def. Terry Etim ($10,000)
* Yoshiyuki Yoshida ($12,000) def. Jon Koppenhaver ($8,000)
* Dong Hyun Kim ($40,000) def. Jason Tan ($3,000)
* Shane Carwin ($12,000) def. Christian Wellisch ($10,000)
