Strikeforce Paydays and salaries

[bigboz]

MMAmania.com (MMA Mania - UFC blog for UFC news, results, videos, rumors, fights, pics and tickets) has received the fighter payouts for Strikeforce: "Fedor vs. Werdum" from the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) for the Showtime event held at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, on June 26.

As expected, heavyweight attraction Fedor Emelianenko was the top earner of the night. "The Last Emperor" banked a cool $400,000 for tapping out to grappling ace Fabricio Werdum ($100,000).

"Cuddles" was posthumously awarded $6,000 in defeat.

Ik dacht dat UFC mager betaalde maar dit is wel heel mager zeg. Mijn motivatie om een mma carrière te achtervolgen voor het geld is zwaar gedaald.

Hier zijn sponsor gelden niet in meegenomen. Die schijnen ook nog wel dik te zijn. Als ik zie hoe sommige gasten uit de ufc wonen dan doen ze het niet slecht, waar ze het van betalen begrijp ik dan alleen niet helemaal.

Triangle armbar???

Snel verdiend voor fedor $400,000 voor 69 seconden haha

volgens mij had hij 1.5mln tegen arlovski?

vind 400K sowieso niet zo boeiend voor de toen nog onverslagen HW. Had in de UFC een stuk meer gekregen met waarschijnlijk wel een cut van de ppv
