How long until either in PRide or the UFC until there is a Million Dollar payday for a winner? I say that there should be one within the next year. The ideal would be if Silva beat Liddell and then Liddell won a rematch then in a third fight the winner gets a million.

Liddell and Couture made over a million @ 57, Gracie pulled in over a million @ 60 - Hughes might have even pulled in a mil. Shamrock and Ortiz pulled in over a mil at 61. It's not the purse for a million, but rather a percentage of the PPVs which combined with the purse equals over a million.

First actual million dollar purse - definitely won't be Liddell-Silva. Probably won't be happening anytime soon.
