also says he made $710,000 for his 1 fight in 2007.

in the last couple of weeks Tito said he made $4 million in 11 years.

4 million after taxes.

Good read... Thanks

Wow there's definitely some deep rooted hatred between the two. Dana telling Shaw he should pay Tito 30 bucks a fight because UFC won't match it anyway??? That's some ruthless shit right there.

Did Dana really say that?

I'm more inclined to believe Dana in this one. Tito only made $4M in 11 years? Yeah right. Maybe, just maybe $4M in purse money but with sponsorships, clothing line, etc. I am sure he made a ton more. Tito was also boasting about running a "billion dollar business" at one point was he not and now he has the gall to say he only made $4M? Not that $4M is anything to laugh at.

Frankly Tito is full of shit and Machida better dismantle him, and afterwards Gary Shaw can pay him peanuts to sweep the floor of the ExC cage.

So do I ...

“He did not want to fight Machida,” White said. “He ranted and raMachida out, I’m still out of the Tito Ortiz business.”ved to (UFC matchmaker) Joe Silva about it. “I can’t do anything about the matches once they’re in the cage. Everyone knows my feelings for Chuck Liddell, but when he’s in the cage, there’s nothing I can do and either he wins or he loses. But this time, I want to see Machida win. But if Tito knocks Machida out, I’m still out of the Tito Ortiz business.”

Cut & Paste is serious business, imo.

Beyond that, a pretty interesting read but I'm tired of the build-up. I just want to see the fight already so we can put this to rest and move on to something more interesting -- which preferably doesn't revolve around money.
