Jose Aldo could lose major sponsor due to Reebok deal

Jose Aldo turned down an offer from Reebok to stay with Venum, and he might lose his sponsorship deal after all.

One of the biggest critics of the "sh-t" Reebok deal, Aldo was eventually offered an exclusive contract with the brand, but turned it down. As his team explained in June, Brazilian apparel brand Venum was a better deal even though Reebok offered more money.

"(Reebok) money was a little over than what Venum used to pay, but with the discounts (in the United States) it would become less than what we make here," Aldo’s manager Andre Pederneiras explained.
