Shamrock Got 1.5 million for his fight with Tito

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.

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

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."
