Strikeforce Payouts: Diaz Earns $100,000
Sherdog.com Staff Feb 3, 2010
Nick
Diaz was the big winner at Saturday’s Strikeforce “Miami” in
more ways than one. The one-man demolition crew took out Dream
champion Marius
Zaromskis in the first round to secure the promotion’s
170-pound title to the tune of an event-high $100,000, according to
figures released Wednesday by the Florida Department of Business
and Regulation.
Diaz also spurred on talk of top-10 status with his dismantling of Lithuanian striker Zaromskis, who took home $30,000 in his first defeat in six fights.
Former NFL football star Herschel
Walker earned a disclosed $600 for his third-round victory
against Greg Nagy,
though reports have put Walker’s undisclosed pay at six figures.
The 47-year-old Heisman Trophy winner said he’d donate his take to
Project Turnaround, a Dallas-based charity that aims to “rebuild
communities from the inside out with a comprehensive, faith-based
program designed to improve and enrich the lives of urban youth and
families.” Nagy took home $5,000 in defeat.
Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos continued her terrorization of the women’s 145-pound ranks with another sound victory against Dutch ace Marloes Coenen. Cyborg, who made $55,000, pummeled and out-muscled Coenen for a third-round stoppage. Coenen, a 10-year veteran of the women’s circuit, made $2,000.
