Ronda Rousey is making Anderson Silva money
Dana White: “That woman’s making over $3 million a year in sponsorship .. The more rich and famous she becomes, the easier she is to work with.”
UFC president Dana White recently appeared on the Jim Rome show, and sang the praises of women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
“She’s the greatest athlete that I’ve ever worked with, period,” said White as transcribed by Damon Martin for FOX Sports. “I wish I had 10 Ronda Rouseys.”
“She’s laser-focused on her career and what she wants to do. None of these guys want to do PR. She’ll do any PR you ask her to do. She’ll even do PR to try to help sell somebody else’s fight. We need her to do things, a lot of activations with sponsors and she says, ‘No problem.’ And when she leaves, the sponsors call here and say, ‘She was unbelievable to work with.’
“That woman’s making over $3 million a year in sponsorship.”
“The more rich and famous she becomes, the easier she is to work with. It’s always the other way around. I can’t explain it.”
