15 million was a number thrown out there by his boxing coach, but even assuming it was a legit jumping off point for negotiating a Woodley fight, I feel fairly certain that Nate would sign for 5 million. That would be more money than GSP was paid, not including his cut of the pay per view, for the Bisping fight. Woodley would sign for a fraction of that, but I like that he's standing up for himself since he is the champion, and if those belts are going to have any meaning, then that fact has to be acknowledged at some point.
Well said. Can't say I disagree with anything here

He's standing up for himself by calling out a smaller fighter? Not since Dillishaw have we seen this level of bravery.
