I read somewhere that she gets $125k for every week she survives on dwts, and a million if she wins. Compare that to the little 40 to show, 40 to win deal Dana probably has her on. She might take one more farewell fight against a can, but by and large I think she smartened up and leveraged her mma career into a more lucrative industry.
So PVZ went from 'overpaid' (according to Sherdoggers) to underpaid now?
Btw ... those figures you quoted are false.
Dancing With the Stars Contestants Salaries
They get $125k to be on the show & hold the weeks (in case they get to finale)
Weeks 3 & 4: $10,000 per week ($20,000 total)
Weeks 5 & 6: $20,000 per week ($40,000 total)
Weeks 7 & 8: $30,000 per week ($60,000 total)
Weeks 9 & 10: $50,000 per week ($100,000 total)
If a celebrity makes it to the final episode, his or her earnings can go up as high as $345,000.
