Reebok payouts for UFC 202: 'Diaz vs. McGregor 2' totals $207,500

UFC 202 went down last night (Sat., Aug. 20, 2016) inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and now it's time to see who went home with the largest slice of the Reebok sponsorship pie.

The biggest earner of the night was Conor McGregor, who will take home an extra $40,000 sponsorship check from Reebok after his do-over against Diaz (see it here). It's a HUGE jump from his previous payout, as he only received $5,000 for UFC 196 five months ago. And since Conor hasn't been competing inside the Octagon enough to jump up to the biggest tier, it's interesting to see his huge increase.

Then again, it could simply be that UFC decided to pay him the standard $40,000 that goes to a champion, despite the fact that it wasn't a championship fight. Props to his agent/manager, I guess.

So, how are payouts determined?

According to the revamped payout structure (see it), the more fights you have combined with UFC and the now-defunct World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Strikeforce promotions, the more coin you have for your combat sports piggy bank.

And the less fights you have under the ZUFFA banner... well, the less you get. If you have a problem with the structure, take it up with UFC, not Reebok.

According to the report, fighters will also receive royalty and payments up to 20-30 percent of any UFC-related merchandise sold that bears his or her likeness. That's a great way for the Internet "morons" to help the cause.
