Found this article this morning. Who knows how true it is, eh?
I did an online conversion, and 10,000 United Kingdom pounds is equivalent to $18,289.89 U.S. American dollars.
Wonder what he did with the 89 cents?
ACTOR'S £10K AFTER FIGHT WITH SEAGAL

Exclusive By Nick Henegan
An actor has been awarded £10,000 after he was injured in a fight scene with martial arts star Steven Seagal.
Sang Cam Lui, 32, claimed he was just an inch away from being paralysed when he was dropped on his head during the staged brawl.
He suffered from exhaustion, blurred vision, loss of appetite and muscle pains.
Earlier, Seagal had promised to treat him "like his own child" after Sang complained he was being used like a stunt man.
Sang was offered £150 before he flew back to England without any proper medical treatment. He said: "My doctor back in London said I had a lucky escape. If I had landed an inch over where I fell, I could have been paralysed or killed."
NU Image Films, which was making the movie Out For a Kill in Bulgaria when Sang was hurt, agreed to pay him £10,000 plus legal costs in an out-of-court settlement.
Sang said that after the accident he lost out on work, including a part in Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie, but has since appeared in the sequel.
Los Angeles-based NU Image could not be contacted.
