[Will]

The total disclosed payroll for this past weekend's "EliteXC: Heat" event at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla., topped $1.3 million -- with Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson and main-card fighter Andrei Arlovski taking the lion's shares with $500,000 each.

The total disclosed payroll for the event was $1,319,000.

Ferguson, who suffered a 14-second TKO loss to late replacement Seth Petruzelli in the night's main event, missed earning a $100,000 win bonus with the loss. Pertuzelli, who re-negotiated his deal after accepting the fight, earned $50,000 -- $15,000 of which was a win bonus. (Ferguson's original opponent, Ken Shamrock, cost himself a six-figure payday after being forced out of the bout due to a facial cut.)
