We\u2019ve been talking to Xbox and Microsoft and all that stuff. We hope they keep me on outside. Whether they want me to go out and do promotion of games and stuff \u2013 for my last fight for \u2018Call of Duty,\u2019 I went down to L.A. and did a viewing party, went to San Francisco to work on the games \u2013 so I\u2019m hoping I can do a lot more of that stuff outside the octagon where they have to keep me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cA guy like Nick Diaz, for example, comes out with all his Metal Mulisha, all his sponsorships. Let\u2019s say from those sponsorships he makes like $80,000 to go in the octagon. That\u2019s a nice payday just for wearing sponsorships.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLets say the UFC says, \u2018Hey man, you\u2019ve got to wear Reebok tomorrow.\u2019 And he says, \u2018OK, that sounds good. Here are all my pay stubs and my contracts for my last fight. They\u2019re paying me $80,000, so what\u2019s Reebok going to pay me?\u2019 They say, \u2018You\u2019re ranked second in the world, so we\u2019re going to pay you $2,000 to wear Reebok.\u2019 For me, I think that\u2019s not necessarily fair because there\u2019s basically $78,000 that\u2019s unaccounted for. If UFC\u2019s going to compensate me with the same amount, that\u2019s fantastic. If not, that\u2019s a big boo-boo.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI think everyone would hope (they\u2019re paid the same or more as before), whether they\u2019re the champion or not. I would hope the person on the prelims card who is ranked 20th in the UFC, if they\u2019re making $10,000 from Dynamic Fastener, I believe they have the right to be paid that. That\u2019s just me being an honest person.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf the person can show what they are making and this Reebok deal isn\u2019t making the same, they should be making it right.
