|  Lesnar highest paid fighter before UFC 100 even started
Lesnar guaranteed $400K for UFC 100 bout; Georges St. Pierre can earn same with win | MMAjunkie.com Quote:
Regardless of his performance on Saturday night, current UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will walk away as UFC 100's top earner before "fight night" bonuses are issued.
The former collegiate wrestling champion and WWE superstar is guaranteed $400,000 for his performance according to a report of the evening's top salaries from Kevin Iole that was posted on his Twitter account.
Lesnar faces UFC interim champion Frank Mir in UFC 100's main event, which takes place tonight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Lesnar's opponent is guaranteed $45,000 for the main-event contest, and Mir will earn another $45,000 should he earn a second win over the massive Minnesotan.
In the evening's other UFC title fight, welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre will reportedly earn a guaranteed $200,000 for his bout, while a win would double his income and put him on par with Lesnar.
Challenger Thiago Alves is contracted for a $60,000 base pay, with an additional $60,000 on the line for a win bonus.
In the evening's final featured contest, middleweights Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson can each earn up to $250,000 for a win. Iole reports that Bisping is guaranteed $150,000 for the bout, with the remaining $100,000 being offered as a win bonus. Henderson earns a $100,000 base, with $150,000 on the line should he earn a victory.
Official salaries four the four co-main event fighters, as well as the other 18 contestants on the historic card, will be released over the next several days by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

you can hate on how much he makes compared to other more established fighters, but....
I was just on CBS sportsline, and one of their 3 main stories was the results for Brock's fight.
This is why he makes the big money, whatever he does is big news, which equals exposure.

But that's not it, as he is being talked about on many sites at the moment, and a lot are major sites too; FOX, ESPN, CBS, etc etc. However, the less-educated won't understand that, and probably never will. That said, there's no reason to explain, because truth be told, they're stuck on stupid. No offence to any one in particular, of course. Just my opinion.
