He's at the top of pyramid, looking down on the rest of us.
i can say i wasn't in favor of having a massive "condom depot" ad on the shorts or "golden palace" stenciled on the fighters back but that is what changed everything as it started looking tacky.I think we can all agree the current UFC sponsorship model pretty much fucks all the fighters.
I do like the clean, consistent outfits that makes the UFC look much more like a professional sport

I do like the clean, consistent outfits that makes the UFC look much more like a professional sport, but they need to rework the cash distribution or other fighters with a decent name brand will continue to walk out the door for sponsorship money.
How much are the fighters getting that were not in the UFC?
They are getting less than the Reebok deal.
UFC uniforms are fucking hideous and are barely different from one another.Absolutely horrid decision to force this BS on fighters.The addition of these horrendous outfits hasn't effected the credibility of mma in the positive whatsoever.
If anything it has been a negative spotlight since it' inception.From horrible pay structure,ugly designs,misspelling fighters names........now they announced a restructure in the payout brackets...........only for them to barely change it at all.
The longer the UFC stays with this it' killing them.the longer bellator has complete sponsor freedom it will bring in these bigger sponsors back to mma and bring more guys to bellator because of it.
Hard to find those numbers. Would be shocked if King Mo, MVP, Chandler, Pico off the top of my head aren't making more than reebok money from sponsors but i've got nothing to support that statement.
I work with a guy who's currently on a month vacation because 3 years ago he had $30 worth it bitcoins and he says he forgot about the account. Then with all the recent cryto currency craze he randomly checked the account and it was worth 12K and change.
I wouldn't be surprised if Rory immediately cashed in like 125K and played the market with the rest.
But yeah fighters are getting fucked on sponsors.
I hope that $350k gets paid in cash, and not some fake crypto coins.

I actually just got paid out $528 on my Cyborg/Khabib parlay in bitcoins just to see what can possibly happen.I just bought in a small piece at $100 of ripples. I expect nothing to come from it but seemed worth a shot just in case
