Bellator 106 salaries:
Two of Bellator MMA's highest-paid fighters compete in tonight's Bellator 106 main event, and with a victory, either one would earn well into the six figures.
MMAjunkie.com today obtained the list of disclosed paydays from the California State Athletic Commission, which oversees tonight's Spike TV-televised event at Long Beach Arena in California.
Headliner and lightweight champion Michael Chandler will earn a base pay of $95,000, and he could earn another $95,000 as a win bonus, which means a potential event-high payday of $190,000 if victorious. Opponent Eddie Alvarez has a $80,000/$80,000 deal for a potential $160,000 payday.
Featherweight champion Pat Curran can earn up to $80,000 ($40,000/$40,000), and opponent Daniel Straus could score $40,000 ($20,000/$20,000). The night's other title fighters, Muhammed Lawal and Emanuel Newton, who look to claim an interim light heavyweight title, each earn $10,000 to show and $10,000 as a potential win bonus.
The finalists of the "Fight Master" reality show tournament, Joe Riggs and Mike Bronzoulis, each earn $5,000 to show. However, a whopping $95,000 win bonus goes to the victor.

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income.
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
