The disclosed payouts for Strikeforce's "Miami" fightcard have been released and there are some big earners in the bunch, proving that the promotion are aiming to hang with the bigger competition in terms of compensating their athletes.

As always, the disclosed salaries only represent the figures given to the commission and don't take into account other bonuses and sponsorships or taxes and medical expenses etc.

So, on the 30th of January, 2010 there were some fighters that appear to have earned their keep and also some undercard fighters happy to do their thing without a large cheque to claim afterwards.

Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler took home $100,000 base salaries with no win bonus for their wins over Marius Zaromskis and Melvin Manhoef respectively. Marquee names for the promotion, it is unlikely that other organisations would match this kind of payout at this moment in time; they are being looked after by Strikeforce in order to keep them happy, no doubt.

The disparity between champion and challenger for the women's title was clear, 'Cyborg' claiming $35,000 with her unsuccessful opponent Marloes Coenen taking just $2,000.

Jay Hieron could take solace in the fact that he was awarded $65,000 despite only featuring on the undercard.
