some numbers being thrown around on the old internets:
Current sponsor numbers:

Gareth Davis reports UFC-Reebok deal = $70 mil. Let's do some math. IF that's true, it's worth $11.7 mill a year. Divided by 45 events...

....that's about $260k in sponsor money per event. If 12 fights on a card, that's $21,604 per fight or $10,802 per fighter on average.

Again, this is just rough math. No idea how any of this is distributed, but it's worth thinking about

$70 mill over 6 years = $11.6mil/year
....that's about $260k in sponsor money per event. If 12 fights on a card, that's $21,604 per fight or $10,802 per fighter on average.
but
its on a teir system factoring in the top 15 in the rankings. so no one really knows how its all going to fall together yet.
