I read that Rickson was paid $2M for fighting Funaki.  According to Dana, both Randy and Chuck were pain $1M for their last rematch. Both Tyson and Holyfield were paid $30M for their fight. (The ear fight)  The first million dollar boxing purse was the Rumble in the Jungle, in 1974.

I meant in the UFC.  I know many boxers have been paid that and a lot more.

The bigger deals in the UFC usually are.  Unrelated, but Tom Cruise, the biggest box office draw ever, structures all his contracts on percentages of total revenue generated from his movies and has made a boat load doing it.

If im not mistaken, the Yoshida and Ogawa fight was the most expensive bout ever in MMA.
