Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson News: Report Reveals MMA Fighter's Bonuses with Bellator [LIST]

A Newsday report recently divulged the details of Bellator's lawsuit requesting for an injunction to prevent Quinton "Rampage" Jackson from making his UFC return in April. The report also made known a number of perks and bonuses Jackson received while fighting under the Viacom-owned promotion.

According noted by MMA Weekly, Jackson's contract with Bellator promised the following:

"¢ $100,000 signing bonus
"¢ 2013 Tesla Sport (reportedly valued at $129,603)
"¢ Non-PPV fight purses beginning at a minimum of $200,000 and a max of $300,000
"¢ $50,000 bonus if Jackson doesn't receive a specific amount in sponsorship deals.
"¢ 30 percent of any net gate receipt over $400,000 at any Bellator even in which he fought
"¢ $35,000 per episode for the Spike TV reality series "Rampage 4 Real"
"¢ An agreement wherein Bellator must retain a screenwriter to develop a potential feature film project specifically for Jackson
"¢ An agreement for Bellator to communicate with Paramount Pictures (likewise owned by Viacom) to develop film opportunities for Jackson
"¢ A red carpet appearance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards
"¢ $4 for every Bellator 120 pay-per-view buy over 190,000

Apart from the above mentioned stipulations, MMA Weekly reports that Bellator paid over $250,000 for one commercial aired on ESPN during the NBA Playoffs, and shelled out $200,000 for the rights to a Rolling Stones song used in advertisements that featured Jackson, as well paying as Jackson being paid a $200,000 bonus for a PPV fight that didn't get enough PPV buys to trigger the bonus.

"Our lawsuit for an injunction and related relief"”filed in the Chancery Division of the Superior Court in Burlington County, New Jersey"”will compel Jackson to honor his contractual agreement. We look forward to having one of our MMA stars fighting for Bellator again," a statement said.

Jackson signed a six-fight contract with Bellator back in 2013, but subsequently fought in just three fights. Jackson claimed that Bellator did not live up to its end of contract because of failure to settle a contractual dispute within the requisite 45-day window.
