I don't think I've ever seen a number except when Matt Mitirone was talking about his manager got $5,000 in sponsorship money and how that was terrible for a televised fight and he fired him because of it...Also I read that a if a company is sponsoring a wrestler they will pay more for the spot on the back of the shorts because they figure that will be seen more with the fighter most likely being on top during he fight

We don't do any sponsorships at Tapology yet, so I don't have any good info for you.

t-shirts probably soon.

as for sponsorships, "yet" doesn't mean anything... no specific plans or timeline.

I bring the topic up since I have always heard that fighters only receive a fraction of there pay from fighting.

It varies on how popular the fighter is. It can range from 5,000 per patch like Mitrione said, all the way up to 85,000 like Mir received in his Brock fight. Top Name fighters usually receive more than their disclosed purse in sponsorship money. Kevin Iole said Chuck was getting 75,000 from xyience, per month I believe, as well as getting paid to sponsor movies or whatever. So it really just depends on the name. But average fighters could expect to get about 1-10k per major logo on fight night, depending on how the negotiate and who the sponsor is.

@Gregory/Kallous... My twin brothers.. brother in-law is going to make some up.  He does it for a living and is going to do two "proto types".  Pictures will come soon.. I hope.  (T-shirts.. can do Polos as well).
