What an idiotic payscale. So much fail I don’t even know where to start.
And people have the nerve to rag on the UFC’s payscale, atleast it somewhat makes sence, unlike this joke.
Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but you still can't
help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...
well
they fighters signed up for it….also…they have to try to be profitable nahmean…it’s not like they have many revenue streams to count on.

![According to MMAJunkie
Diaz is going to fight at an event planned for Oct. 9 currently dubbed "Strikeforce: San Jose." But he will compete welterweight, and Miller is not his opponent.
Instead, recent winner K.J. Noons, who defeated Diaz nearly three years ago for the EliteXC lightweight title, is expected to get a shot at belt.
UPDATE by Matt Bishop [8/25/10 at 1:13 p.m. ET]: It's official via a Strikeforce press release and they have offered some quotes.
"Nick has no class, he’s a bum, a piece of (expletive) and he and his team disrespected my family and I with their gestures and trash talk and tried to upstage my fight,’’ said Noons after the near-fracas (in 2008).
Offered Diaz: "I’m sorry about what happened in the cage afterward, but I didn’t start it. His guys were talking (expletive) to us.’’
