Oh that Reebok money…
Last night the UFC returned to action with the TUF 25 finale event.
13 of the night’s fighters made enough in sponsorship money for a bus ticket home and a McDonald’s value meal… And that’s about it!
That’s because the UFC’s Reeebok program is basically stealing money right out of the Athlete’s pockets, and has been doing so for over a year now.
Instead of making a considerable amount from endorsements, UFC fighters are now stuck accepting only what the UFC is willing to pay them for wearing the Reebok uniform.
Because of that, hardly anyone made anything worth bragging about.
Here’s the breakdown:
Justin Gaethje: $2,500
def. Michael Johnson: $15,000
Jesse Taylor: $2,500
def. Dhiego Lima: $2,500
Drakkar Klose: $2,500
def. Marc Diakiese: $2,500
