Bellator 165 salaries: Chandler, Henderson make 50k
It looks like Ben Henderson didn’t sign a big-money deal with Bellator, at least looking at the payouts for his recent fight. The former WEC and UFC lightweight champion moved over to the main competition with thoughts of winning titles in two divisions, but things haven’t worked out so well for him so far. After losing a welterweight title shot, he dropped a split decision to Michael Chandler on this card.
So how much was his salary for his third fight under the Bellator banner? 50k, the same as Chandler. Only 10k more than the next-highest salary-earner on the card, Michael Page (40k).
