The deal, which was negotiated with then-Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney, included a 2013 Tesla Sport worth $129,603, an additional $100,000 signing bonus and guaranteed fight purses beginning at $200,000 and maxing out at $300,000 for non-PPV fights, according to the complaint. Jackson also was to receive between $200,000 and $450,000 for a pay-per-view fight. Bellator also agreed to pay Jackson $50,000 "in the event that he did not receive a certain revenue amount from sponsorships," the complaint said. These were the perks he got
Rampage made more money there then what DC made in his last probably 2-3 fights with UFC especially the last fight against Jones where he only got $90k.
but besides that if UFC trumped that offer for Rampage to come back. I really do feel sorry for the majority of the fighters in UFC. It legitimately seemed like Rampage had it way easier competition wise and was way more relevant in Bellator than where he will ever be back in the UFC its
what happened. Add to the fact that he's way over the hill.
Im curious to know what Rumble is getting. Bet these two fighters combined aren't making over $250k and that's me being gracious.
They could easily market this fight as Rumble being a KO machine and DC being a former Olympian with 1 loss to the former champ. Yet I don't hear nothing.
gotta get that marketing strategy up to get us fans excited. It must be a huge blow for UFC to have such a big card to not sell out.
