Carano Takes Home $125,000

The value of being a poster girl: Gina Carano,
who suffered her first professional loss Saturday at the
piston-pumping hands of Cristiane
Santos, earned $125,000 for the effort according to numbers
released by the California State Athletic Commission. Santos earned
only a fraction of that, having to settle for only $25,000 and
Carano’s still-beating heart.
Officially, the second-highest take-home salary on the card was Renato "Babalu" Sobral, who banked $75,000 for his efforts. Unofficially, the undisclosed salary of Gegard Mousasi was probably good for six figures, or something close to it.
Mousasi wasn’t good for a lot of mass media attention -- though that could change if he keeps beating people to the extent a coroner rushes into the ring instead of an EMT -- but Carano might be one of the best buys in the sport. For that weekend, at least.
