starvenger 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2006 Has a Sylvia fight ever drawn interest? Even I didn't care to see the Andre rematches. I understand you need a heavyweight champion, but this isn't the WWE, he doesn't have to be (and isn't) the big deal. I don't remember ever caring about a Tim Sylvia fight. For UFN 3, I watched all the matches up to his match with Assuerio Silva. But do remember that winners get their base x 2, so Sylvia earned $60,000 + $60,000 for the win. Hughes would've earned $150,000 had he won. GSP must've gotten another bonus somewhere. Getting $29,000 to fight seems like a strange number to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Word is Dana gave GSP a half-million bonus plus a hummer, or so I read at BK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that we know the weakness in the MFS fighters that being poor defense against kicks....I want to see Antoni Hardonk as the next Heavyweight Champion.
