Invicta FC 11: “Cyborg” Pockets 15 x Tweet’s Salary

When the fighter salaries for UFC 184 were released by the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) earlier this week, many were shocked to see that Jake Ellenberger ranked as the highest earner ahead of main event star and champion Ronda Rousey.

The governing body has now released the earnings of the women who competed on the Invicta FC 11 card last weekend, and there are no surprises who came on on top. Christiane “Cyborg” Justino picked up $90,000 for her demolition of Charmaine Tweet at the event, which went down in Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles last Friday. Tweet reportedly pocketed $6,000 in losing the featherweight main event.

“Cyborg” topping the list of disclosed salaries will shock few people, but the disparity in earnings between the champion and the rest of the competitors may have some scratching their heads. Not only did Justino out-earn her opponent by a factor of 15, she also took home more than twice the combined earnings of the rest of the competitors on the card.

In the co-main event, Alexa Grasso ($5,000) defeated Mizuki Inoue ($2,000) via unanimous decision. Other notable salaries from the card included Irene Aldana ($3,400) and DeAnna Bennett ($6,000).

It should be noted that the disclosed purses reported by CSAC do not account for any sponsorship earnings or performance-based bonuses that may be awarded to a fighter by the promotion. The reported figures, also, do not reflect any deductions made by the commission for taxes, insurance, etc.
