Win, lose or draw, Anderson Silva will go home from his next fight at UFC 162 a rather happy man, at least financially. On Friday, Bleacher Report received the reported salary information for the main event and co-main event fighters for the upcoming UFC 162 card from the Nevada State Athletic Commission. According to the report, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will make $600,000 for his show money, and if he wins, he will pocket an additional $200,000. Silva just recently renegotiated a new 10-fight deal with the UFC that is obviously paying him substantially higher than his last contract. When Silva fought Chael Sonnen in the main event of UFC 148 in July 2012, the Brazilian took home $200,000 with no win bonus for his performance.  Silva did fight one more time in 2012 at UFC 153, but the card was in Brazil and no salary information was released for that show. Now with his new fight deal in place, Silva stands to make almost a million dollars should he beat Weidman on Saturday, and he will likely take home an even larger paycheck based on pay-per-view bonuses he receives that are not disclosed publicly. As for Silva’s opponent, Weidman will pocket $24,000 for his show money at UFC 162 with a chance to win an additional $24,000 if he wins
