Affliction had promised that they were going to be a little more judicial with their fighter salaries following "Banned" last July but once again the promotion's fighter payroll exceeded $3 million dollars ($3,308,000 to be exact).
Even though WAMMA Heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko only took home $300,000, he will easily succeed the $1 million dollar mark after all is said and done (Pay-Per-View percentages).
