Here's the interview, for those interested (it's got some choice shots at "Bones" in it, so it's well worth a listen):
Now I know that Chael sells fights better than anyone in the sport, but are we really to believe that Dana is throwing his top dollar at a guy who has never been, and never will be, champion? In his last fight with Silva, he got paid $50,000 to Anderson Silva's $200,000, so he'd have to be getting a really friggin' huge chunk of the pay-per-view's back-end to be pulling the kind of money he's claiming. Do you think Dana really values trash-talking that much, or should we just chalk this up to Sonnen's usual bullshit and bluster?
