message: Beyond the "Total Purse" entry in the Details section (which I'm not seeing on the draft entry for some reason), the known financials of what fighters get paid should be in an entry (as well as PPV buys if those numbers are available). These numbers are often released by the state athletic commissions, so they can be validated. We've used tables for this information in the past, and they work well. UFC fights should have a "UFC Bonuses" section. Also, the total gate and paid attendance figures should be included. Clogar 07:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I can see the logic to the remocal of X defeated Y, however I disagree that the additanal information is not useful, I think that information is what differentiates an encyclopedia from a simple results site, just the results you can get on Sherdog, background and subsequent related events are not mentioned, collecting related information together is what an encyclopaedia is all about. There is a related disscussion here. --Nate1481(t/c) 10:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The maybe the section needs re-titling if you want to be that narrow, but it seem logical to organise any information about a specific fight with that fight not in a generic section. This is for people to read not a simple news report of the results, wikipedia should be better than that. --Nate1481(t/c) 17:04, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
