Yes. And they will pay good money if you were a name in the UFC i bet. This whole Reebok thing has been a PR nightmare. And then dikk head Dana goes on TV and shyts on Schaub claiming he wasn't making 100k from his shytty sponsors. Terrible situation going on


I don't even care for schaub and I think that's effed up lol

Bellator paid him well.

I'm not even exactly sure why he left. Dude has had a fallout with pretty much every major promotion or sponsor he's worked for in the past few years (UFC, Bellator, Reebok, etc).

He still got lugz holding him down tho :mjpls:

Well look at rampage why did he come crawling back... They didn't pay him like a Viacom star lol they paid him like a Bellator star. Even though they tried to roll out the red carpet to him.

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. :mjlol: 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 :mindblown: 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. :ld: 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.

Nah, Russian Mafia has a lot of Orthodox ties to it. That's like wondering why Sicilians don't act more "catholic".

I'm tired of the reporters asking Ronda about Floyd. He beats all the male fighters you put in front of him now we gotta move on to women? I thought we were against hitting women in pro sports and in life in general now in America. Oh but it's ok for it to be reversed :camby: and if Floyd answers back he's a Villian and Dana will try to use the UFC angle against him again. Everyone wants to beat Mayweather but no body can beat Mayweather.
