Ryan Bader will make '3 to 4 times' more in sponsorship money with Bellator

[TheHNICuLuv2Hate]

“It will be three to four times what I was getting with Reebok, for sure,” Bader, who’s No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light-heavyweight rankings, told MMAjunkie. “I had a couple really good blue-chip sponsors that have stood by us through the whole Reebok deal that are still there – like the American Ethanols and things of that sort. Then we got some new sponsors coming on board. We’re full for this fight.”

“People are like, ‘Oh, you’re in Bellator, so it’s going to be harder to find sponsors,'” Bader said. “That wasn’t the case at all. There’s more opportunity in that aspect, and we’re full. I’m getting much more money than I was in the UFC in sponsorship revenue. I’m feeling good, I’m excited, and I’m happy to be in Bellator. I’m coming for the belt, and I can’t wait. I’m going to make the best of it.”

I wonder how many other fighters will jump ship? Reebok deal has about 5 years left on it.

 

[209 Life]

Bellator slowly but surely is gaining steam

This Bader Davis fight will probably be a bore...

Bellator is good for UFC gatekeepers as they become Bellator stars but Bellator would cost the top ppv cut UFC guys money.

No fucking way. They signed an 8 year contract? What a bunch of dumb fucks.

Yes, we know this...

The UFC fucked their fighters with Reebok. The biggest names still have outside sponsors.

But The Condom Depot pays way more than Reebok for those just below that very elite level. The UFC is playing a weird game here.

Either outright releasing top 5 fighters. Or not matching the free agency dollars. But, that sponship money can really tip the scales for free agents.

I hope he makes a fuckload of money.

If Bader can keep it standing he is gunna wreck Phil's shit.

So he'll make 80k instead of 20?... that seems like small potatoes when downgrading Orgs

Up to 80k

I'm pretty sure it was a 5 year contract, so it's probably like 3 more years.

Bellator should. change their name and go with a more professional marketing route. also. cancel the tournament bs

Hmm... dont think so... Bader is a very tentative striker. As is Phil.

 

[Peteyandjia]

It's staggering how much money the fighters are being robbed of over the years with this piece of shit Reebok deal

 

[WhitestKidU’Know]

That is still a pretty long contract for something that you aren't even sure will work.

This Reebok deal was stupid. How everyone but the UFC could see it is unbelievable
