How much did Fedor get paid for his fights in Pride?

[Ol'Ironhead]

Does anyone have any idea what kind of pay Fedor received for his fights in Pride? Perhaps his fight with Cro Cop for example. I'm sure he got a dramatic pay increase once he beat Big Nog and became champ however I haven't been able to find any solid sources of reported pay outs for Fedor's fights back in Pride. Even if someone has some rough estimates.

I'm not talking about his fights post Pride such as bodog and Afflition; I've read his payouts for mother qost of his fights after Pride. Another question regarding Pride...What was their guidelines on Sponsors and that whole fiasco? Obviously they didn't have any bullshit like the mandatory Reebok, but if anyone could shed some light on the Sponsor situation would be great.

Fedor was a pretty big celebrity back in Japan, so it must have been better than most fighters maybe with the exception of Wand and Crop cop..

Here's a gem I found a while ago that I thought was interesting. Looks like the Japanese saw Fedor as some sort of god.

I heard most of the Russian fighters were paid in a combination of money and vodka

 

[pick999]

10000 a fight

I think they covered his substantial
fuel, repair, waste management and general maintenance costs. Nuclear powered cyborgs dont run cheap. Hope this helped. Also Ol' Ironhead, is that a Fujita reference?

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

about 226.41 Rubles a fight.

hunt was banking like 500k for some of his latter fights in pride. but all the top fighters from different mma backgrounds were thrown a shit load of cash to come join pride.

id like to think the top fighters who were grown in pride was making the same.

That makes sense, especially with Hunt being the K1 champ in 2000 or 2001. That was a pretty big deal back then no doubt. I think people often forget that Hunt has been fighting with the best for almost 20 years.

I think you mean how much did the Russian Mob get paid:/

Well, i know Cro Cop was one of the better paid fighters in Pride and he went over to Ufc cause the money was so much bigger then Pride. And he got 300 000 to show and double ih he wins and he was the highest paid fighter i the UFC whrn he crossed over.

I heard after the fights the yakuza would bring in their enemies they captured and had Fedor beat the living shit out of them for punishment. In return he'd get an extra bag of monies.

Fujita said Fedor's purse was always over 9000
