Even some of the guys making it to the main card in the UFC only make $15k for one fight (though there may be some bonuses).

Some comparisons on estimated net worth:

Floyd Mayweather: $300 million
Anderson Silva (ufc): $10 million
Georges St-Pierre (ufc): $7 million
BJ Penn (ufc): $20 million (much of this is from family money and other businesses)
Manny Pacquiao: $85 million
I have seen the promotional deals of a fighter. Anderson Silva makes that a year at least and has for years. He is worth more.
