no sponsors on fight week, or on ufc cameras. this means even the gyms can't have sponsors up while the ufc is there.
My God the Reebok #'s are embarrassing.
- Thread starter Wild
- Start date
I get the feeling the champion would get about as much ($40K) as a mid-tier fighter who works hard at getting good sponsorships would get now. But compare that $40K to what people like Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones would be getting from their sponsors during championship fights and it's not even close. I can't see why any fighter would prefer or ask for this Reebok deal but somehow the only reason the company did it is '100% for the fighters.'

Bellator could have a FIELD day with this.
This is embarrasing for all involved.
Do the fighters get taxed on that 2500 too?

brendan schaub was making a lot more than champs, and he's not close to the champ.
Well sure they do.

phil davis is laughing his ass off right now. he'll be doing better on sponsors than ufc champs. this will make people want to jump ship fast.
Helwani will remain quiet.

If this doesn't light a fire under their asses, what will? i'm seriously asking... what would it take if not this?
Looks like there can be additional money if a fighter has a sponsorship deal with them also
I wonder how much extra they get...

The fear of not being fired, or shelved, or put in bad match-ups that will devalue them on the open market. My guess...you won't hear a peep from 90% of the fighters. They'll eat this shit sandwich, and be forced to like it.
EDIT: Maybe I'm wrong...

UFC officially announces Reebok sponsorship numbers | MMAjunkie
that they must wear to their fights, press conferences, weigh-ins and open workouts. Additionally, in-cage sponsor banners are forbidden.
In addition to experience-based pay, UFC fighters will receive, in perpetuity royalty, payments amounting to 20-30 percent of any UFC merchandise sold that bears their likeness.
The UFC considers the uniform a positive for fighters hit hard by a declining sponsorship market. Executives also say a branded apparel policy mirrors other major sports leagues. Several UFC fighters already have struck exclusive deals with Reebok, including light heavyweight champ Jon Jones, women’s bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey, ex-welterweight champ Johny Hendricks, featherweight contender Conor McGregor, and rising strawweight star Paige VanZant.
“All of the revenue we’re receiving from Reebok is being distributed to the fighters,” Fertitta told MMAjunkie during the media call. “The only revenue not included will be used to cover direct operating costs for this program.”

Lulz. Damage control.
The UFC could always share a bigger percentage of their profits to help offset the loss of sponsorship money brought about by the Reebok deal, or maybe when Dana was talking about fighters being in the gym too much, he meant that time would be better spent working a second job?
I am sickitated
