First time fighter paid more than 2 MMA Legends?

Fighter payout have been released (as required by the state athletic commision) for the recent K-1 Dynamite event. I know it all comes down to marketability and "return on investment," but it's kind of sad that first time MMA fighter Brock Lesnar made more money than any other fighter and more than legendary Royce Gracie and Sakuraba combined! This is Mixed Martial Arts v2.0, so out with the old and in with the new breed.
