There will be a CM Punk mark in here soon trying to cope by saying he knew he would lose and just wanted the easy money. But that idea falls down when you see him crying in the post fight press conference. He also spent money moving house to be closer to the gym. He was training at a top level gym for years and his coaches would have taken a big chunk of his purse so even his "easy pay day" would have been eaten into a lot
He got no PPV points on his 2nd fight because he was in a nothing fight with minimal hype buried on the undercard (it was originally going to be on the prelims). He made possibly around $1m from his first fight (500k to show + his PPV share. AJ Lee said he made a million which is probably right), and 500k max from his 2nd fight, assuming Dana contractually had to pay him 500k to show again. So CM Punk, before deductions for expenses, made around $1.5m total for his UFC career. It's not great
