Reebok payouts for UFC Fight Night 115: ‘Volkov vs Struve’ totals $90,000

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returned to action for UFC Fight Night 115: “Volkov vs Struve,” which went down last night (Sat., Sept. 2, 2017) inside Ahoy Rotterdam Arena in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and now it’s time to see who went home with the biggest Reebok sponsorship pie.

Stefan Struve was the biggest sponsorship earner of the night, as he earned an event high $15,000 from Reebok despite getting knocked out by Alexander Volkov in the main event (video highlights here). Volkov, meanwhile, took home just $2,500 from the sports apparel giant. In fact, 16 of the 24 fighters took home $2,500 check from Reebok, while the rest — other than Struve — took home $5,000 a piece.

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.
