Mousasi only got $2000? You’ve got to be kidding me!

What about Mousasi? Hopefully that M-1 deal paid off for him.
Cris got what she deserved, quite honestly. Although I think an “equal win bonus” would have been more fair. You get paid based on how much of a draw you are, not just how good you are. If it were Cris vs any other woman the ratings would have been much lower and she wouldn’t be the main event. That’s just the way it goes. People wanted to see the pretty girl fighter, they paid (or tuned in) to see the pretty girl fighter, so you have to PAY the pretty girl fighter.
Maybe that’s why Cris also crushed Gina. She was like “I want more money, bitch!” hahaha.
So happy Gina covered up her face at the end. She can now go into film and modeling and give up fighting since she can’t really go anywhere interesting from here. Maybe a rematch if she wants, but other than making more money….why?

August 18th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
ah i think they could have but if its 50-50 split with M-1 and Strikeforce…. who knows how much he got…
$2000 is not good! but then again for 1 minute…. its about right!

I here that strikeforce pays m1 an undisclosed amount and they pay that to mousasi. He probably made far more then 2000

I think a Homeless person can make more than than 2k for begging in Downtown SF in one day

im broke gimme the 2 G’s

This is getting stupid. The world should start paying real money to MMA fighters. Especially Dana.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Dana pays more than 2G’s in win bonus and fight of the night and submission or KO of the night rewards and bonuses. Nice job signing with M-1 Gegard….That should pay off (err I mean miss your pay offs) as well as it has for Afraidor…..Hey, it’s better to have the respect than all that money, though. Right?! Just like fedor. Way to pay your ONLY TWO FIGHTERS! Finkelstink.

sidenote: for 75 G’s, I’LL spend a minute in the ring with Gegard and take the KO.
August 19th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Afraidor…..
this ISN’T the M1 PAYMENT LIST
its the strikeforce list!
they paid the fighters small bonuses even tho they’re signed up to M1! (M1s job to pay em)
