Davis doubled his $17,000 base pay with an additional $17,000 win bonus. However, the WSDOL’s numbers not take into account any discretionary “locker room” bonuses which a promoter may issue, such as “Knockout,” “Submission” and “Fight of the Night.”
Other high earners on the card included Johny Hendricks, who took home $44,000 for his 95-second knockout of T.J. Waldburger ($8,000); Anthony Johnson, who netted $40,000 for co-main event decision win over Dan Hardy ($25,000); and Amir Sadollah, who earned $40,000 for forcing DaMarques Johnson ($14,000) to submit to second-round elbow strikes.
