**GSP confirms contract negotiations with UFC**

[joeyjoejoe]

George getting all the Reebok money, possible 50,000$.

 

[bearVSshark]

what mean 100k for one shirt?

Under armour paid him 100k to walk out with their shirt...this was before "he's not coming to the press conference. He is in the ambulance"

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Great!

George getting all the Reebok money, possible 50,000$.

His sponsors would crush 50k

Did Gsp fight out his last contract?

 

[Prime Ang]

Did Gsp fight out his last contract?

Pretty sure he did.

 

[Sonny Qc]

If he didin't took a break
Silva And JDS didn't lose title
And Jones didn't f*cked up

Reebok never would have become UFC sponsor

Think about it
Gsp with underamour
3 other were with Nike

The 4 biggest champ could have block the deal

If true this is great news ... Though I really really doubt that, other than money to counter the sponsors he is losing, the UFC will be able to do much for GSP. I think (but hope I'm wrong so GSP gets his) it'll be more about GSP conceding to the UFC than the other way around.

I can't recall who I listened to on an interview a few weeks ago - maybe Vitor when he said he lost millions, but he made a lot of sense in saying 'sure, i understand - lets have our apparel be sponsored by reebok, and not have any other clothing companies, sponsor us ... that's exclusive to reebok. no problem. but what about the rest of the sponsors? energy drinks? condoms to go? ANYTHING OTHER THAN CLOTHING?!?!?!" win win - reebok is exclusive, and fighters can earn what they're worth and what they're used to.. Makes too much sense for Dana though I'm afraid.

depends on what leverage GSP has. His old contract might be still in play. GSP has huge leverage from the stand point he is very popular and would lend a lot of credibility to another org if he chose to move.

If he did fight out his contract he really could go to Bellator and make crazy coin

 

[CereserBr]

dat ass!

 

[Draco24]

UFC should have gotten Under Armour as the sponsor. brand is hot as hell right now and achieving remarkable growth. that was the kind of sponsor the UFC needed.

Also why its not worth their effort to sponsor the UFC of all possible things unless it was dirt cheap.

 

[tjumper78]

not sure if this is a good news or bad but i think i need to be in this thread for some reason.

 

[qw3rty]

gsp in bellator.... wow. wouldn't that be something.

I always wanted to watch GSP vs Bendo TBH

 

[Shapky86]

Yes he did.

Then he can go to Bellator seriously.I think Viacom has way bigger pockets than the UFC

 

[CereserBr]

dat ass!

 

[Coolidge]

Reebok needs to die.

 

[Bewareofdawg]

Reebok deal is the sticking point.

This shouldn't be a problem. Just give him some undisclosed money to make up for the sponsorships he lost, don't tell the other fighters about it....and then get his ass in the octogon!!

 

[the can]

I always wanted to watch GSP vs Bendo TBH

would their styles negate each other? how could that fight play out?

edit: i would watch it.

 

[hot carl]

Reebok screwed us all

how did the fans get screwed?

is teh lack of douchy graphic tees driving you nuts?

that should help.

 

[Luger]

I kind of liked the idea where he stepped away at the top.
Pissing Dana off, having nothing to prove and so on.
