The guy makes millions per fight, and will have an immediate title shot when he gets back. His career is far from fucked. It is on a downward swing, but he can still turn it around.
True.
True but compared to where he was 96 hours ago, it's fucked. Can he turn it around? Yes but so far, this guy can't get out of his own way.
He just lost a lot of money right there. Hopefully that kind of stuff wakes his ass up because nothing else seems to work.
The thing im interested in is like someone said earlier, can he learn to train and prepare for a fight without the use of drugs, if so does that fighting edge still remain or is it gone if he goes completely off drugs, We do not know how long he has been under the influence and when during training. I really cant say but thats something Jones will have to find out on his own, I hope tho that they do random testing throughout his suspension to make sure he is indeed working toward getting the help. I think after the last 1 day stint the UFC said this shit isnt gonna be on us. He has alot of growing up to do.

Reebok terminates Jon Jones' contract in light of recent arrest
Reebok terminates Jon Jones' contract in light of recent arrest - MMA Fighting
Jon Jones' Reebok sponsorship is no more.
The apparel company announced on Wednesday that it had terminated Jones' contract effective immediately.
"In light of recent events, we have made the decision to terminate our contract with Jon Jones, effective immediately," the statement provided to MMAFighting.com read.
ESPN's Darren Rovell first reported the news, which comes less than 24 hoursafter the UFC stripped Jones of the light heavyweight title and suspended him indefinitely in light of his recent arrest.
Late last year, Reebok signed Jones to be one of the faces of its new mixed martial arts line and recently began airing a commercial starring the now-former UFC 205-pound king.

I'm curious about this too. Has Jackson made any public statements since this all went down?

Reebok is the only one thats allowed to sponsor fighters at a UFC, so if they pull out for Jones.. then what happens? he is sponsorless?
They'll make millions selling her used sneakers at fan conventions.

Adidas owns Reebok.
wasnt he held for domestic abuse ?
Wow I had no idea. This is pretty major and it's happened a while ago. I guess sometimes I miss big stories like this by not having cable or basic tv to get my news.

I wouldn't have known if not for the internet on my phone. I don't have cable or a computer.
I thought all charges were dropped. Or am I thinking of someone else?
