Yeh, One might say that Randy is off the wall in asking for this size of paycheck to fight fedor but, lets face it he is scared to death of fedor seeing how fedor demolished sylvia. He is almost justified in asking for that amount of money because he knows that if he wants an inflated payday like that, that the fight more than likely won’t happen and if somehow, someway it does he gets 6-10 million bucks for taking a 60 second crap kicking. ( I said 60 seconds on the outside chance that he can outrun fedor for a few seconds.

More power to him if he can make it happen, but I really think it would be money just thrown away to see him get decimated by Fedor.

Probably just cheaper for them to do the Brock vs Fedor fight and to be honest I’d like to see that fight.

Come on guys, Randy’s doing this for the fighters. He wants them all to make 7 figures per fight and then all of the organizations can go bankrupt paying the fighters, but more will pop up. Plus, the fight should be really good. From the previews of Scorpion King II, it looks like Randy’s been training pretty hard and learning some new moves. I’ll have to watch the movie before I’m willing to predict who’ll win the fight. How about winner gets double and loser gets half? And does Fedor get to keep it all if he kills Randy? Maybe he should put that in the contract. Sounds about right.

WTF?6-10 Million?!?What on Earth has come to his mind to demand that much?!? Fedor is only good for a million I think, and he effin’ wants 6?!? I’m losing respect for Mr. Couture by the minute!

Sounds about right, huh? I guess the UFC doesn’t have to pay anybody else besides the fighters. Joe Rogan, Mike Goldberg, the entire camera and production crew… they’re all unpaid interns that just do it for the heck of it. Cletis is your name? Sounds about right.

I think 1 million a piece would be to much. I don’t know, but I think he has lost his mind!

About time Randy came out and said what it’s really all about, money. No more crap about “it’s about respect, it’s about the fight, blah blah blah.” Randy is so full of crap he floats.

Randy needs to take a queue from Brett Favre. Be in the game to play the game. Brett gets offered 20 mil not to play and he turns it down to play on what many would consider a junk team. Why? Because he wants to play. Randy doesn’t want to fight anymore, he just wants to get paid.

Thanks Randy for exposing your true self.
