Royce = Highest Paid to Get Beatdown?

Is Royce\Hughes the highest a fighter (royce) has ever been paid in the history of MMA to recieve a brutal lopsided beatdown with virtually no chance at winning? Pretty much Everybody knew going into the fight that Royce didnt have a chance in hell.

if you ask me (and even hughes himself agrees) this fight should have never happened. Ridiculous matchup, weak gimmick and stupid decision by the UFC. They are still paying fighters $2000 per fight and I'd really like to know how much money they burned on UFC 60.

Does anyone know how much Royce got paid to get raped by Matt for 5 minutes?

If Shamrock is making more than 2K for his fights the UFC is getting ripped.

Ogawa also got paid even more to really not even come close to beating Yoshida. I think I remember hearing that those two(Yoshida-Ogawa), each got paid over a mil. for their fight which was one-sided.

Yeah, Ogawa would have to be up there. I wouldve said Yoshida but he's got a way of keeping fights with pretty much anyone at least somewhat competitive.

Yeah, Ogawa is at the top of the list. He has a couple of fights, that he probably made close to 2mil on, that he didn't really have a chance in.
