During a heightened time of criticism towards the UFC for the Reebok sponsorship deal, UFC President Dana White dropped a bit of a bomb regarding Ronda Rousey, and how much she rakes in per year from sponsors. While the figure wouldn't put her near the level of top-earning female athletes in the world, it does put her in elite territory.
"She's laser-focused on her career and what she wants to do," White said. "None of these guys want to do PR. She'll do any PR you ask her to do. She'll even do PR to try to help sell somebody else's fight. We need her to do things, a lot of activations with sponsors and she says, 'No problem.' And when she leaves, the sponsors call here and say, 'She was unbelievable to work with.' That woman's making over $3 million a year in sponsorship."
