he gets the same PPV sharing that couture did. meltzer reported it in 2006 when he signed his deal, far before the couture bout agreements were public. its no coincidence that they were exactly the same.
because his PPVs were the highest grossing in 2006, he made the most money of any PPV fighter that year (again, as per meltzer who is the general source for this sort of stuff).
so, if randy got $1M for the sylvia fight, tito got around $2M for UFC 66. that ain't to bad. he wants more than that, probably more guaranteed money as they likely don't trust Zuffa's PPV numbers, which they can't verify themselves.
