Strikeforce salaries and payouts for those who competed at the "Barnett vs. Kharitonov" Showtime event back on Sept. 10, 2011, were released today by the Ohio Athletic Commission.
As expected, heavyweight "Warmaster" Josh Barnett was the top earner of the night, bankrolling a crisp $150,000 for smashing the grand prix dreams of Russian striker Sergei Kharitonov, who earned an impressive $100,000 in defeat.
Also making it rain is Daniel Cormier, who has 100,000 reasons to be happy after beating the snot out of Brazilian "Bigfoot" Antonio Silva, who will not advance to the tournament final but has 100k and a year's supply of Turtle Wax for being a contestant.

not when you walk away with a belt
"This could be the worst disaster we've ever faced"
"With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour"
They paid sasquatch 100K, that will by a lot of beef jerky. Seriously sucks to be the winner and still earn less.
I've got something to say; it better to burn out than to fade away!!!
Is it really funny Mayhem, please tell me its funny.

Not when everyone on the card (except the last 2 fights) got paid WAY too much!
Thats why SF got bought out!
man, SF really pays their boy well, dont they?
"This could be the worst disaster we've ever faced"
"With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour"
Bargains for Luke, Cormier and Mein considering they were the shows biggest winners
"......I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey....My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious......." - Mike Tyson

idk about that
100k for cormier is a shit ton of money, look at what the UFC payouts are for every card…when you find BOTH guys in the 2nd fight on the main card making 80+, you let me know, because i dont think its ever happened
"This could be the worst disaster we've ever faced"
"With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour"
Well I meant the 50k part. He is I believe the cheapest Gran Prix participant

well, he is an alternate after all
"This could be the worst disaster we've ever faced"
"With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour"
That is once again why he is a bargain lol… if they put Fedor back in there then SF is back on the hook for a Million plus. Great deal for strikeforce for an alternate to come in and win.

I didnt give Cormier nearly enough credit for evolution in MMA. I thought he would stay away from striking but apparently Crazy Cook over at AKA has been teaching Cormier some tricks. Sparring with Mike Kyle probably helps as well.
I think the fight with Barnett will be awesome to watch.

I've been liking Cormier more and more the past couple of years after every fight and every interview of his.
I don’t know how anyone could root against him

fixed
Why do I keep picking Forrest against far superior Brazilian fighters? Because I’m a dumb old man who pretends to be Irish that’s why.
Well it isnt his wrestling that impressed saturday it was his striking. Which Kyle is much more talented at then Cain at this point.

Kyle used to fight HW, and in fact, just did like two fights ago.
So him fighting HW isn’t that crazy. Also, in K-1, 205 lbs is heavy weight so actually, they’d be the same weight.

Cain beats Kyle on the feet.
agreed.

Cain is more faster tighter and stronger
NICK DIAZ.... champ early 2012

Lets put it this way...
IF Roidnett goes to the UFC, he’s not getting the same payday I would imagine.

Well, this is how the UFC works...
If you have a good agent and DEMAND a lot of money…
You are starting out ‘on the Chopping Block’.
If you are getting a smaller salary, you will not be fighting ‘large salary’ guys.
If Barnett demands more than $50,000…He will have less than 3 fights in the UFC.
The fact that they fought once every four to six months those checks better be a little bit bigger.
I've got something to say; it better to burn out than to fade away!!!
Is it really funny Mayhem, please tell me its funny.

no chance he gets brought over
or he takes a HUGE paycut.

hype is a dangerous thing
i’d like to see him matched up against a few people in the ufc, but at that price and knowing his chin isn’t made of granite im not so sure
Tea and Crumpets
Cyborg goes from fighting for the belt to getting stomped over and over
Dude needs some skills. Did anyone see that fight?
enzo
He has legit skills. His stand up is spectacularly aggressive.

What makes you feel that he is good?

by enzo-enormous on Sep 12, 2011 2:32 PM EDT up reply actions
I dont need to feel that he is good. He is good. He fought at 205 for much of his career all blown up against big monsters at LHW. Including fights with young Shogun and Yuki Kondo. Both guys that could never dream of being a welterweight. He fought Melvin Manhoef who is a K1 striker at a much heavier weight. Also guys like Mousasi.
He beat Zaromskis who is a credible welterweight. He also gave Nick Diaz all he could handle.

Well I guess we will just have to disagree on this one
He has fought alot of people, but that doesnt make him good. He is barely over .500 for his career and his biggest win is over Zaromski…
Zaromski was good for a few, then he dropped off the plant in terms of being a contender
enzo
by enzo-enormous on Sep 12, 2011 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions
Barely over .500 doesnt tell the story of his career. Thats the problem with basing things on records. They never tell the whole story. Jason Reindhart was what like 20-1? Then he came into the UFC and was demolished.
Cyborg is good. A hard opponent for ANYBODY. And has fought as heavy as 205 against champions of the weight class.

He also gave Nick Diaz all he could handle.
That can go both ways. I see that as the fight that shows how not good Nick really is, or isn’t as the case may be. Getting taken into deep water is unimaginable for the likes of Fitch, Kos, GSP, hell even Diego, Ellenberger, Kampmann level guys. They all wipe the floor with Cyborg.
Why do I keep picking Forrest against far superior Brazilian fighters? Because I’m a dumb old man who pretends to be Irish that’s why.
^^^ Hater in the house ^^^
And how do they all do that exactly? By taking him down and fighting Cyborg where he is the weakest.
But that’s not Nick’s style. He’s tries to prove points when he fights, not score them. He will fight you where you are at your best in order to challenge himself. He battered Cyborg to the point that Cyborg needed to shoot for a takedown. Kampmann is the only guy you named that would take it to Cyborg standing.

A win is a win
who cares how it happens
Cyborg is junk and he gave Nick all he could handle. There is a reason the man has lost 18 fights.
Why do I keep picking Forrest against far superior Brazilian fighters? Because I’m a dumb old man who pretends to be Irish that’s why.
Thats my point too
Cyborg just isnt very good. Yea he has fought ppl at 205… that was just a bad idea… it doesnt make him better. He isnt good, plain and simple. He is average at best
Well, literally, he is just above average actually ;)

But that’s not Nick’s style. He’s tries to prove points when he fights, not score them.
he’s forced to slug it out ’til the opening for the knock down or knock out is there
pride never die.

Ohhh, I see. You must have seen the platinum director's cut edition of the fight or something because I sure didn't Nick have any failed takedown attempts..
he most certainly was not FORCED to stand with Cyborg. He chose to.

just like he chose to get taken down, at will
by Sherk, Riggs and Sanchez?
Nick is a stand-up fighter because he can’t wrestle. Hell, even Gomi took him down pretty much at will.

This ^
I’m a Nick Diaz fan, but I’m also a realist. The whole “beating people at their game” thing is bullshit. He likes to fight on the feet, and it’s a good thing because it’s really his only option.
