While the pay-per-view numbers will not be known for sometime, it has already been announced that UFC 109 drew 10,687 attendees to the Mandalay Bay Events Center for a live gate of $2.27 million. If those well-above-average figures for this slightly sub par card aren't evidence of a brewing economic recovery, then I don't know what is.
The total disclosed payout to the fighters was $944 thousand, plus an additional $240 thousand in disclosed bonuses, for a total of $1.18 Million, with the main and co-main event fighters taking home roughly %50 of the total loot.

def. Mark Coleman: $60,000
Chael Sonnen: $32,000 + $32,000 win bonus + $60,000 "Fight O.T.N." bonus = $124,000
