Matt Hughes has got a pretty nice deal as well. You would think Franklin would have made that much too.

I really agree with all the pays. They all got what they deserved

I think that Franklin got ripped hard, I would think that he would get more than that anywhere in the world but god damn it was in his backyard basically, I would seriously say he deserved at least 100K.
