New report details 'Rampage' Jackson's Bellator contract
The Quinton "Rampage" Jackson/Bellator FC contract drama continued this week, with Mark La Monica of Newsday releasing a report detailing Rampage's deal with the Viacom-owned company.
MMAjunkie.com's Steven Marrocco provides a complete rundown:
A $100,000 signing bonus.
A minimum of $200,000 and maximum of $300,000 for non-PPV fights.
A minimum of $200,000 and maximum of $450,000 for PPV fights.
A $50,000 bonus if he didn’t receive a certain amount from sponsorship.
30 percent of Bellator’s net gate receipts over $400,000 at events in which he fought.
$35,000 per episode for his participation in the Spike TV reality series, “Rampage 4 Real”.
A screenwriter for a feature film project and access to Paramount Pictures to develop film projects.
A red carpet appearance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
$200,000 bonus for Bellator 120.
$4 for every Bellator 120 pay-per-view buy over 190,000.
A 2013 Tesla Sport worth $129,603.
Bellator recently filed an injunction to stop Rampage from facing Fabio Maldonado at UFC 186, claiming the former UFC light heavyweight champion still had three fights remaining on his exclusive deal with the promotion.
Jackson, however, claims his contract included provisions that allowed him to terminate the agreement if certain aspects of the deal weren't met within a set time frame, and doesn't seem to be taking the injunction too seriously.
Haha the paper work is in but it's still a JOKE! Plus throwing papers on the ground outside my gym in the parking lot is not serving me. ?

This incredibly messy situation is far from over.
