They got only their show money.
One of them lost all of his sponsorship money cause the fight didnt happen.
SF kept the win purse for both guys.
A reliable source on the UG says Mark Miller and Deray Davis were not paid any win bonuses, and at least one of them lost their sponsorship money after their bout was unxpectedly cancelled at last night's Strikeforce event.

Yeah, srsly
that’s weak. I like Strikeforce and what they’re doing, but c’mon. Sometimes you need to forget about the bottom line ($$$$), and have some sympathy. They honestly should’ve just had the fight, regardless of whether it’s televised or not. Hopefully they at least move the fight to the challenger’s show in 2 weeks

Strikeforce is hurting itself with garbage like this. A fighter no-showing an event will get no end of trouble from the promoters and the fans, but having garbage like this is going to make some undercard fighters think twice about signing to fight. Those very same undercard fighters are the talent pool, some of whom will be the stars of tomorrow. Screwing them like this is inexcusable. It’s not even a case of sympathy – more like just being decent.
