What kind of sponsorship and sponsorship dollars do the fighters get.

To get a logo on Chucks shorts for a fight costs around $15-20,000 for companies. His main sponsor is Xyience and his deal with them is reported to be over 1 million. I would say he gets the biggest sponsorship deals in UFC because he is the number 1 draw for them, but the top guys in Pride could be earning a shit load more.

Yoshida used to get around a million dollars for sponser advertisements on his gi, I don't know if he still does because this was back when he was still undefeated.

was that in total or per advert? Im thinking that guys like Crocop, Fedor, The Nogs (yes i know who they are now  ::) ) Chuck, Matt Hughes - eve Tito because he is marketable - would all be getting around 6 figures. Obviously Fedor would have the biggest deals because of his status as world number 1. Didnt Vitor used to have a shit load of sponsors when he WAS the Phenom?
