20 million? Not even close. He makes around 450k per fight (Main event).
Edit: It was 600k. UFC fighters are under paid and it's a damn shame since they're more prone to injury than in any other sport. There's been a lot of debate going on about wages.
And Silva never had anything on Chris, he's passed his prime and he should've left with a W. He's done, it will take around 3 years to fully recover, mentally and physically (physically 6 months or so).

The payout is a drop in the bucket in comparison to what they make on the side via promotions and under the table dealings.
What'd ya think, Silva ate Burger King?

Luckily for Anderson Silva, his operation was a great success and the break(s) [tibia + fibia] were very clean.
In 9 months he should be ready to train again if he desires to attempt a comeback.
But from watching his last 6 fights I have noticed that he has been floating on his guile and skill while his athleticism has taken a massive dive, ultimately due to his age.
In my eyes Silva is the all time greatest, with Jon Jones narrowly behind. Jones nearly lost a toe against Sonnen, and his Gustaffson war also rendered him in the hospital. So I imagine he will be playing it safe, cherry picking opponents as much as he can. This is something I don't respect at all, I think Gus deserves a rematch ASAP.
And then we have welterweight, GSP alongside Silva proving that there is no graceful way to leave the UFC. You're either broken and beaten, or labeled a "coward" such as GSP has.
Hendricks versus Lawler should be an amazing fight, though I imagine it will end very quickly due to Hendricks' superior training- but two heavy hitters will be entertaining, at least for the 30 seconds the fight will last.
In conclusion, Weidman + Hendricks + Jones all have their hands full. Weidman with Belfort and Jones with Gus, Hendricks perhaps may have it easier on himself due to the lack of competition.

you have a good point. Maybe I should start drinking milk again. I haven't drank milk in years and I just chipped a tooth for no good reason at all.

Drink milk and lay off the pop...plus brushing teeth regularly. If you don't decide to drink more milk, at least take Calcium supplements and lay off any caffeinated products (which are known to deplete your calcium strores)
