UFC-Reebok Pay Scale Revealed: CM Punk and Several Fighters Infuriated!!

The UFC's highly publicized exclusive sponsorship deal with Reebok has raised several questions. Some of those questions were answered today, but weren't the responses that most UFC fighters were hoping for.

Starting in July, UFC fighters will only be permitted to wear Reebok apparel and logos to fight-week related events. This has led to several sponsors pulling away from pledging money to fighters in the interim, as they see it as a short-term investment.

UFC fighter Cody Gibson released the information on the pay scale, which is determined by tenure in Zuffa-owned promotions. The previous model of determining the sponsorship dollars by media rankings was scrapped recently. The payout numbers can be seen below:





the majority that have decided to speak out have blasted the numbers. UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub noted that he's earned at least six figures off of sponsorship money in each of his last six fights.

Guys like Gleison Tibau and Scott Jorgensen, who have been around for ages but aren't as attractive to sponsors, will greatly benefit. Fighters like Felice Herrig who is a sponsorship darling but doesn't have many UFC fights will suffer.

Bad assumption. WWE made Punk, financially speaking, and he's only doing the UFC thing as a weird point of pride. Many men and women that are depending on that sponsorship money in a big way though so it's obvious they're not pleased.

Darknod, as awful a poster you are can you at least section these new threads properly?

The CM Punk bit is clear clickbait, but I suppose it'd be the only for it to relevant in wrestling (though it actually isn't but whatever).

Seems like a bad deal for the fighters even for the top guys. As for Punk what is there to say? The man is a massive hypocrite out to cover himself in glory. The money shouldn't be a concern for him so he'll fight how many fights he fights, and than we'll hear all about how evil UFC is blah blah blah. Its the big reason I thought UFC getting him was a mistake... the guy is going to bury you guaranteed.
