one more question

[cooleo]

does anybody (think alex) know if igor is ritch and how many money he makes for competing in pride? ??

[Stan]

If he is making 100,000 Euro for 1 fight, then he is definately very rich in his home country of Ukraine. He has fought like 15 times in Pride in the last 6 years

[Amuro Ray]

Exactly, 25 times. (18-6-1)
It's Pride' best record. ( Akira, Sakuraba about 22-23times )

Pride fight money is secret.
In rumour, crocop is making about 500,000 dollar for 1 fight( except bushido's fight), Yosida and silva is making 2~300,000 dollar for 1 fight.
When Fedor defeated Noge first time in pride25, he just gained 40,000 dollars.( cause Fedor was rookie in pride at that time.) And Fedor fought Mark colman, his fight money it's 100,000 dollar. By the way He fought Yojii in Inoki event, he gained +500,000(~600,000) dollars.
But It's just rumour.

And I heard Igor's past fight money lower than we think. I guess his recent fight money is 100,000~200,000 dollar.

Finally, Igor is rich. He has his own restorant, named of 'Pharao'.

Highest paid fighter in PRIDE is Yoshida.
Silva makes $500 000.

Nobody know pride's fight money exactly.
Are you sure silva's guarantee absolutely? ^^
There are a lot of rumours about their fight money like "Silva makes 500,000$."
And I heard that too. And other romour said 'Silva makes 250.000~300,000$ and Yoshida gains +300,000$.

So I wrote " In rumour.... "

According to these sources, Royce was originally offered between USD$450-475,000 per fight, plus a win bonus, but now DSE/PRIDE has supposedly upped the offer to approximately USD$500,000 per fight, plus the win bonus.

It is said that Royce is still considering the offer, and will give a final word in within 2-3 weeks

What?
Silva is not the highest paid fighter in PRIDE is what I'm sure of.
If that's what you're asking.
