UFC welterweight Erick Silva recently gave an interview stating that the UFC’s new Reebok Deal will cost him $12,000/month in sponsorships:
According to Silva, he will lose about 40,000 Reais per month because of the new arrangement, which converts roughly to 12,000 Dollars, as he revealed to Globo Esporte.
“The UFC changed the way they will pay their fighters with this new Reebok deal, so my manager and I sat down to do the math and it turns out we will lose a lot of money. We will lose 40,000 Reais every month. This is too harsh for those of us with a lot of sponsors, because it will restrict sponsors a lot, and they don’t want to pay an amount they wouldn’t pay if they weren’t going to be exposed on fight night, which is when they get the most exposure.”
