Didn't they say he lived in an apartment? I don't think money is the driving factor. Representing Russia in Sambo championships and getting non-exclusive contracts so he can compete in MMA seems to be more important to him.
The UFC could have paid him more than anyone else and that ended up meaning nothing.
Fedor will always make enough money to live comfortably no matter who he fights for.
