Reebok pay totals $120,000 at UFC on FOX 19
Glover Teixeira made $5,000 in Reebok pay in the main event on Saturday night. Rose Namajunas and Tecia Torres made $5,000 combined.
Starting on July 6, 2015, the UFC instituted an Athlete Outfitting program that mandated the use of Reebok apparel during and around events. Fighters are paid based on tenure.
1-5 bouts get $2,500
6-10 bouts get $5,000
11-15 bouts get $10,000
16-20 bouts ger $15,000
21 bouts + get $20,000
Champions get $40,000; title challengers get $30,000
MMAjunkie calculated the total to date as $4,672,500?. On the one hand, it is a lot of money. On the other hand, it is less than 15% of what Rory McIlroy made last year in sponsorships.
Saturday night’s UFC on FOX 19 added $120,000 towards the yearly total. The winner of the main event made $5,000 in sponsorship. The co-main fighters made $5,000 combined.
