Randy Couture brought his official bout agreement contract for the Tim Sylvia fight to a press conference that he held in Las Vegas, Nevada yesterday. He offers the contract as evidence to refute UFC President Dana White's earlier claims that he made upwards of 3.5 million dollars per fight. He made copies of the contract available to select members of the media after the press conference and below is a copy of the contract obtained through MMANews:

That's a pretty fat contract. $250,000 purse, plus a dollar for every ppv buy over 100,000. And then the price goes up after even more buys.

UFC's average buys per event is 522,500

Based on that contract, and that the event drew the average of 522,000 buys. Couture was payed over 1,100,000 for just that fight alone..

Yeah, he was payed nicely for 25 minutes of work.
