GoldenAfro Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 On this week's The MMA Hour, Ariel Helwani reported an utterly baffling figure about Jon Jones' deal with Nike. According to Helwani's source, Jones is not getting Anderson Silva money from Nike, he's getting McDonald's money - not sponsorship from McDonalds, but burger flipping at McDonalds money. "Congratulations to Jon Jones for signing that big deal with Nike," said Helwani. "According to Dana White he will be dressed in Nike from head to toe. Come September 1st, he will be wearing Nike, inside the Octagon... "He is not the first guy, to have the swoosh on him in a fight of course. Anderson Silva was representing Nike when he fought Chael Sonnen. But this is a different kind of deal. "This is a global deal. This is the first North American fighter to be sponsored by Nike terms of the deal haven't been disclosed just yet "What I heard from one source, just one, was that it was a one year deal worth $20,000. " AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA THE NEW FACE OF MMA?! Chael is gonna smash this broke fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S6XStringz Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Highly doubt this is true. No way would any celebrity get paid that small amount of money to represent such a big company like Nike. I call b.s on this. I"m willing to bet it's more like 20 million.

TornHonor Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 It's gotta be worth more than that. I thought I read somewhere that the fighters are paid up to $10,000 to wear sponsors on their shorts. There is no way a company as massive as Nike are only paying $20,000 a year to Jones. I would be willing to bet its more along the lines of $2,000,000-$4,000,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro21 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Here is my thoughts (Note this is completely made up scenario with no credible proof) First off there is the obvious the source is lying and he is making a lot more which is more then likely. My other idea is maybe Nike is just making sure he is going to stay dominant for a while. So say he stays champ the first year and proves he is not going anywhere they dramatically increase the pay.
