Sounds to me Stikeforece is getting some good rep by getting, Cund le, Vitor, James Overeem... What are the purses like?

I would assume they are equivalent to the UFC, maybe 5 and 5 or so for everyone except the big names.

No StrikeForce pays better than the UFC. Im not sure about the exact purse for this show, but i was talking to a bunch of the fighters at the weight ins and more than one said they were getting more than they would get from UFC.
They actualy paid F. Shamrock $100,000 plus incentives on the first show.

Not bad for 21 seconds of work.

I think they pay the big names more than the UFC, but the first timers are getting more than KOTC but less than UFC.

I heard at the Oakland show they were going to pay Carter Williams $55K. Way too much in my book.

Yeah, im working with a show upcoming in SF and we are paying and offering more than what the UFC pays. It will be interesting to see how we do. Alot of new Orgs. popping up and it seems to be hit or miss.
The good thing about this is the UFC is going to actually have to start paying there fighters better to compete.

One would assume the pay is better since they got Quinton Jackson, but we can't really be sure of that till the figurers come out. I hope they can afford to pay well, because id like to see them bring in the best talent, and money is always a good bargaining chip

the top guys are getting more than the UFC, the lower guys are getting less than UFC like dt said.

Thanks guys ....The UFC does need some competion anyway...as their level of compettion and the direction they're taking is questionable ....

I dont think thats true.Tyson Griffin said he was making low five figures which is more than what his own teacher david terrel made his last ufc fight.

I think thats great, and maybe more fighters will take note that some of these shows are going to take better care of them.
