I wonder how many people watched? Also the $7,500 is bonus money. But the WEC is considered the minor league of the UFC by some. And they are talking about PPV? I wonder how many people watched?

It's based on the economics of the event and it's in relation to revenue that's brought in. As well, it is a bonus, meaning that the fighters have base pay and this is an extra incentive... If it was based on "how hard these guys fought" then everybody on the card should get a bonus. ?

As far as I can tell, the only revenue it earns is from the gate, and it has to cover the costs of the production including promotion/advertising and fighter purses. How impressive was Mike Brown? I'm really looking forward to the inevitable rematch with Faber. It could be fight of the year. $7500 isn’t much, but WEC doesn’t have ppv to increase its revenues.

I would be curious to see torres step up and fight brown now that he eas proven himself. 7,500 does not seem like a whole lot of a bonus, considering how hard these guys fought.
