I remember a while back that some people said that the Gracies rigged all their $100,000 challenges and that none of the people they fought were actually trained in martial arts and the Gracies never had the money to begin with.

Not sure about that but look how they reacted after Hidehiko Yoshida beat Royce Gracie. They forced Pride FC to change it to a draw by threatening to remove all Gracie fighters from the organisation. They then did a rematch on their rules. Same stuff happened with Royce Gracie against Kazushi Sakuraba.

I remember they wouldn't fight any catch wrestlers for years turning down all challenges that came their way because they built up such a reputation they had so much to lose.
And they challenged joe lewis to a bjj match who had no ground fighting experience at to prove they were the best fighters around but as soon as the promoter turned it into no ground fighting the graicies quickly dropped out because the game was no longer in their favor.
