It's ironic, this is what Tito Ortiz was complaining about as to why he wouldn't fight Chuck Liddell the first time. I personally think it was all just a ruse to the fact that Tito was deathly afraid of Chuck, but in an interview during the countdown to the 2nd Chuck Liddell fight, Tito was talking about how he was only getting about $2,000 for fighting Ken Shamrock, and that was the biggest PPV buy in UFC history at that time, so he thought man if ZUFFA is making that much money off of Tito vs. Ken, imagine what they'll make off of Tito vs. Chuck. He demanded a cut of the PPV buys, and that's what started the fallout between Tito and Dana White.
Who knows, maybe Tito wasn't just whining and telling stories. With Roy Nelson's tweet, I think it just proves that MMA fighters still aren't getting paid what they are really worth. Roy Nelson get's $15,000 for fighting Frank Mir, while Arthur Abraham gets $150,000 for boxing Andre Ward? Doesn't quite seem fair does it?
