Strikeforce fighter payouts for those who competed at the "Rockhold vs. Jardine" event this past Saturday night (Jan. 7, 2012), which aired on Showtime from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, were released to MMAmania.com earlier this morning by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).
Hard-hitting middleweight brawler Robbie Lawler was the top earner of the night, bagging a "Ruthless" $150,000 for beating the brakes off Adlan Amagov in the night's co-main event.
Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold didn't fare too badly himself, giving Keith Jardine 90,000 reasons to go back to light heavyweight. Speaking of the 205-pound class, former division "King" Muhammed Lawal can buy himself a fancy new umbrella for his next walkout, thanks to the $95,000 check he received for grounding and pounding Lorenz Larkin.

It would lead me to believe that @bisping must have pissed off @danawhite something fierce. RT @drjamezkelske: @danhendo just out of curiosity, if the #ufc comes to you and asks you to fight Bisping again how do you respond?" -Dan Henderson

Jardine can't get past 30,000. On that note he should retire, I'm tired of seeing him staring at the ceiling

I got paid £25,000 to show, £15,000 to win for my last fight. That’s just for showing up and putting a beating on some scrawny kid in the lower league. Required no training at all, easy money.

Unionize!!
Fighters need to form a union. Theyre getting fucked.
Exciting fighters like lawler deserves to be paid 150k and boring fighters like woodley need to get paid 10k
and boring fighters like woodley need to get paid 10k, not Adlan Amagov.
Top 5 most boring fighters to watch p4p:
1. Jake "Mr. Snuggie" Shields
2. G "what's the Rush?" SP
3. Jon Fitch
4. Gray "lets cuddle?" Maynard
5. any wrestler w/ the same fight strategy as #1-4
I think Maynard should come off your top 5
Especially after those two insane brawls vs Frankie Edgar
Looking forward to seeing Bisping get smashed.

there is nothing wrong w/what they paid king mo
I can’t believe some of you are saying its too much. Guy has one loss from an exciting fight where the 2 beat the living sh*t outta each other. He’s rebounded and he’s exciting. He’s charismatic outside the cage too. He has a big mouth and ppl are tuning in to see him. He’s a big name as far as SF fighters go and a former champ there. He’s still making half what Lawler does, so whatever.
The guys making 4k etc should make more, but it shouldn’t be reducing Mo’s pay.

no one forced any fighters to sign these contracts.
If there’s another fight promoter willing to pay them more they should seek him out. To me this is the main reason I preferred SF to remain w/out UFC involvement. But hey, it is what it is, and SF sought out the UFC because they needed money. They needed money because the public was not buying their product and revenues were not enough to cover operating expenses.
Good to see Robbie get paid a lot
he has certainly been in the game putting on great fights long enough
