Powell's POV: Lesnar earned an additional $75,000 for earning the "submission of the night." I'm stunned that Carwin earned such a small pay day given that he was the interim champion heading into the fight. Lesnar is worth every penny (and more) given that he's a pay-per-view draw, but Carwin was also a big selling point for this particular show, so hopefully he gets a piece of the pay-per-view pie once those numbers come in.
