Shamrock Got 1.5 million for his fight with Tito

[DirtySanchez22]

From tims chat

Andy (Pittsburgh): Why do you consider Shamrock overrated?

Tim Sylvia: (3:42 PM ET ) For him getting $1.5 million for fighting Ortiz. None of the other fighters are getting that kind of money. So for him to get that money, someone somewhere thinks he deserves it.

Didn't he get 150 000$?

Does Tim Sylvia always talk shit?

[LockCracker]

dont pay attention to sylvia. apparently he saw UFC 1 in 1992

and idolizes randy cutour

[tinobar]

people get paid on how much money they can generate tim doesnt get paid as much as other big names cause hes not marketable on the other hand ken,tank,tito=$$$$$$.It just fair that ppl should get paid what their worth

I think he got a piece of the PPV much like Chuck which supposedly gave Chuck over a million for his total purse.

If it is true, he was over paid. 1.5 million dollars for 1:19 worth of fighting. Where do I sign

[bma44]

Both him and Tito got a % of the PPV buys. UFC 61 was expected to do 500K+ buys. That's how Randy & Chuck got over $1 mil for their 3rd fight, despite being paid around $200K in "salary."
