However, I do care that, the fighters, are paid so ridiculously little. Profit is good, Exploitation is not! I would not care what Golden Tan was or not paid.

Doesn't make sense to pay him nearly that much. He should show up for free, but probably got a bit of cash. With Golden Boy and Trump on board, I see good things in Affliction's future (especially if Trump's actually an mma fan). Regardless, that was an awesome pay per view and I can't wait for Barnett/Fedor at Affliction 3. Doesn’t Oscar own most of Golden Boy? Doesn’t make sense to pay him nearly that much.

Who crapped in your Wheaties this morning? The funny thing is that I don't think thre are too many people who would have been surprised that he was paid quite well to show up. Celebrities get paid all the time to make appearances places. I think it would be really funny if Merchant knew he was paid, but then just picked a random number just to go fishing. That would make me laugh. Wow, Justin. Who crapped in your Wheaties this morning?

Kris,
I know you are just quoting, but “$5 million dollar” is redundant. Sort of like ATM Machine.
