With Dana and Tito's bad blood, you really think Dana is giving Tito side bonuses or anythin more than what his contract states?
And most fighters have contracts that are "... to show up, ... to win" and Tito hasn't really WON a fight in a while lol. I'm sure his checks are not as BIG as he feels they SHOULD be considering he is still selling on his NAME.
I mean, according to records I saw last Tito made $200,000 to show up, but Big Nog, Couture, Wanderlei, Brock, Liddell, Rampage, Hughes, GSP and a few others all make that, if not more. I mean, I'm not gonna tell Dana White or the UFC how to pay their fighters, but I think Tito, regardless of bad blood should be one of the guys they go out of their way to look after.

Hughes doesn't make 200,000 Neither does GSP.
I didn't say he was top on base pay, but i am saying he is among the top when it comes to ppv buys an shit. Tito gets a good chunk. Also seeing the ppv's he is on do better then most, that means he gets larger chunks of cash.
