In his interview, AJ sounds confident that he will come to an agreement with Bellator and sounds very happy to continue to work with Bellator. He sounds very appreciative of Bellator and sounds very grateful to be able to work together and be the face of the promotion, but he also wants to be paid for what he brings. Apparently, Bellator, for once, is being smart and using all the leverage they can to keep AJ happy (ability to do boxing matches in Showtime, CBS cards, sponsorships, etc.). Everyone is talking about the superfights AJ can make in the UFC, but we are all forgetting that the UFC isn't particularly known for paying their fighter too much, particularly new comers. I seriously dont think the UFC will be paying AJ more than, Ortega, Volk, or Max are already making, and none of them clear 7-figures even with PPV points. In the end, money will be a deciding factor, I do wonder how much the UFC would be willing to offer AJ.
