With a payday of $10,000, Lorenz Larkin, Ryan Couture and Lavar Johnson were the highest earners at this past Friday’s Strikeforce Challengers 19 in Las Vegas.
Larkin, who defeated Nick Rossborough in the evening’s main event, earned $5,000 to show and another $5,000 to win. Couture and Johnson each received $10,000 flat. Couture, though, won his fight against Maka Watson, while Johnson was submitted by Shawn Jordan.
Salaries for all 18 fighters on the card are after the jump.
Please keep in mind these salaries are the numbers Strikeforce reported to the Nevada athletic commission and does not necessarily represent a fighter’s final earnings.
