The fighter salaries for last Friday’s Tachi Palace Fights 10 event in Lemoore ranged from $1,000 to $10,000, according to purses reported by promoters to the California athletic commission.
In the main event, Ian McCall earned $8,000 ($4,000 to show and $4,000 to win) for his third-round submission over Darrell Montague to become the promotion’s flyweight champion.
The first-ever Bellator featherweight champion Joe Soto, under permission from Bellator, fought for the TPF title, but lost via guillotine choke to Eddie Yagin. Soto made $6,000 for his work, while Yagin earned $6,000, half of which was his win bonus.
The highest earner was longtime company man Ulysses Gomez, who earned $10,000 for his submission win over Drew Bittner.
