In 'olden' days, if the matador put on a really good performance, he was symbolically awarded an ear. That meant he could claim the meat of the animal as his own after the fight. Today, most really good matadors are well paid and have no need for the meat. The bulls are butchered immediately after death and the meat is either sold or given to charity.
