UFC colour commentator Joe Rogan delves into the possibility of a fighter’s association in MMA.
Since the Reebok sponsorship compensation rates were officially released earlier this week, fighters and pundits alike have publicly shared their displeasure with the financial hit that their income is likely to endure.
According to the released figures, a fighter with five or less fights will make $2,500 in sponsorship money, which is certainly a significant step down for many fighters in the promotion. Even champions not signed to separate Reebok deals are set to make $40,000 for their title defences.
With the majority of fighters reacting negatively to the Reebok compensation figures, many have called for a union or fighter's association to help enforce collective bargaining against the UFC.
