Johnson 17k ? Can’t be right. Strikeforce pays as much as the list above. WEC guys don’t get paid shit. No wonder Dan Henderson and Strikeforce is in the air.

If I understand this correctly, Griffin had to win in order to earn 250k, but Ortiz got that much despite losing. I wonder how much Ortiz would’ve earned if he’d won. And I wonder if Griffin is happy about it, especially since he’s as popular as Ortiz, and maybe more so.

Kamakosmo: C’mon now, $17K for Johnson and he’s in the Co-Main Event??

Not that suprising he's probably on his original contract or if he signed a new contract after around 5 fights he was 4-1 with a loss that really shouldn't have been one.

It’s all about the timing of when you sign your contract. Baroni just signed his so naturally he’s making more than a guy, like Johnson, who signed his contract a few fights ago. If “Rumble” signed a new deal today I’m pretty sure he’d be making more than the NYBA per bout.

Phil Baroni: $25,000… wow. If i was a fighters manager and saw this I would be livid. He got paid more than both Anthony Johnson and Jacob Volkman combined.
