(That punch alone has got to be worth $500, easy.)
After a great night of fights in Sacramento, the WEC continues to be the place where even the stars get paid like inner-city high school teachers for absorbing only slightly more physical damage. Jens Pulver (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Jens_Pulver), of all people, topped the disclosed WEC 41 payout list (http://mmamania.com/2009/06/08/wec-41-fighter-salaries-and-paydays-for-brown-vs-faber-2/), taking home $31,253 for his thirty-three seconds of work in a losing effort against Josh Grispi. Guess it pays to be a legend. The rest of the fighter salaries from last night, not including the $10,000 bonuses given to Faber, Brown, Aldo, and Dikun (http://www.cagepotato.com/brown-breaks-down-faber-aldo-destroys-swanson-pulver-says-farewell-wec-41), look like this:
Mike Brown (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Mike_Brown) — $25, 256 (includes $13,000 win bonus)
Urijah Faber (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Urijah_Faber) — $25,790
Jose Aldo (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Jose_Aldo) — $17,625 (includes $11,000 win bonus)
Cub Swanson — $8,940
Donald Cerrone (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Donald_Cerrone) — $17,682.54 (includes $9,000 win bonus)
James Krause — $1,692
Josh Grispi — $17,381 (includes $9,000 win bonus)
Jens Pulver (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Jens_Pulver) — $31,253
Manny Gamburyan (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Manny_Gamburyan) — $26,960 (includes $14,000 win bonus)
John Franchi — $3,108
Rafael Rebello $3,650 (includes $2,000 win bonus)
Kyle Dietz — $1,840
Anthony Pettis — $3,302.10 (includes $2,000 win bonus)
Mike Campbell — $2,950
Antonio Banuelos $9,840 (includes $5,000 win bonus)
Scott Jorgensen — $5,530
Frank Gomez — $3,962.41 (includes $2,000 win bonus)
Noah Thomas — $2,350
Seth Dikun — $3,940 (includes $2,000 win bonus)
Rolando Perez — $2,890
So who got screwed and who did the screwing?
