Shogun earned $200,000 when he won the Grand Prix. Source: the most recent issue of Grappling magazine, they interview him. He says him and older brother Ninja built a brand new house for their mother.

So all this heresay about Pride fighters earning Michael Jordan, or Tiger Woods level pay is just that, heresay. Not to say they are poor, they earn a very good living. But the grass ain't greener on the other side, like when the idiots always cry about UFC fighters earning peanuts. That is why Rampage is considering going to the UFC, why would he fight for less money? Especially since the Pride pay scale is "exponential" in contrast to UFC?

Dont forget that the $200.000 figure was BONUS. It is well known that W. Silva makes around 400k just to show.

That wasn't a bonus, it was total payout. Read the article. And here's a cliche, "don't believe everything you hear." I don't believe Wanderlei earns that $400,000 figure you arbitrarily threw out.
