Aldo still in negotations with Reebok, Venum
Andre Pederneiras: Not only with them [Venum, Reebok], but also with a third one. We’re going to sit and talk with everyone to see what’s best for Aldo.”
Jose Aldo has wore Venum fight apparel his entire career, but in December will fight in the Reebok fight kit required by UFC athletes and is apparently in negotiation with both companies for an out-of-competition sponsorship agreement:
Aldo initially turned down an offer from Reebok to continue with Venum, but the lack of exposure on fight night could cause the end of his sponsorship deal. Speaking with the media on Monday, Aldo’s coach and manager Andre Pederneiras confirmed they are in negotiation with Reebok, but are also in talks with a third company.
“Actually, we’re still under contract with Venum,” Pederneiras said. “Are we in negotiation with Reebok? Ever since they signed with the UFC. Not only with them, but also with a third one. We’re going to sit and talk with everyone to see what’s best for Aldo.”
