Dustin Poirier, Tim Boetsch top Reebok payouts for UFC on FOX 29

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returned to the hurt business last weekend (Sat., April 14, 2018) with the UFC on FOX 29: “Poirier vs. Gaethje” mixed martial arts (MMA) extravaganza, which took place inside Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona, and now it’s time to see who made off with the biggest slice of the sponsorship pie.

Dustin Poirier was one of the biggest earners of the night, as he took home $20,000 from Reebok after knocking out Justin Gaethje in the headlining bout (see it again here). For his efforts, “Highlight” banked $3,500 from the sports apparel giant.

Also securing $20,000 was Tim Boetsch, who was choked out in the very first round by Antonio Carlos Junior, who made out with $5,000 (recap). Let’s take a look at the rest of the Reebok payouts courtesy of MMA Junkie:

According to the 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.
