Fedor has next to no mainstream draw. Look at the lame Affliction PPV numbers they were doing. The only reason Fedor would make that kind of money is because he would be fighting what's likely to be the UFC's biggest PPV draw in history, Brock Lesnar. Him headlining 100 did more PPV buys than any other PPV. If he continues to run through opponents like has, there is no doubt he'll be a bigger draw than Chuck and Tito.
In conclusion, Fedor isn't worth more than $5 million a fight, he's not worth close to five million simply because he doesn't have the mainstream draw at this point. The UFC will go on without Fedor and will continue to flourish while Fedor and his insane management go and fight the likes of Brett Rogers. The risk to sign to the UFC is just too much to Fedor. Him and Vlad will go on kidding themselves thinking Fedor deserves to be number one, when in reality, they're ducking the competition that lies in the UFC. If he's so bad, prove it. If not, I could care less about him or any of his future fights as do the rest of the majority of casual MMA fans. The only worthwhile opponents out there that aren't in the UFC I can see are Overeem and Barnett. Hey, maybe we'll get Fedor vs. Jose Canseco on NYE this year!
