Former MMA fighter Rampage Jackson is making major money in his new career as a streamer.
During a recent broadcast, the 47-year-old was asked about the financial differences between being a professional fighter and streaming. According to Jackson, the numbers aren’t even close.
"I've only been streaming for eight months and I've made more from streaming in eight months than I did fighting in fucking twenty-five years," the retired athlete said in the clip below. "One hundred percent. The sponsors fuck with me way more on streams than my fighting."
"Y'all see my streams. I'm the biggest degenerate there is," he continued. "But, one thing, though, my streams, the clips, I guess, gets more number than my fights."
Since launching his livestream channel, Jackson has frequently filmed himself traveling, hanging out at home with his team, and collaborating with other creators like Sneako.
In August, Jackson sat down on podcast Bradley Martyn's Raw Talk and said that while streaming wasn't initially on his "radar," until being put on by boxer Deen the Great.
"I knew his agent, his manager, and he called me [and] said, 'Bro, you got to start streaming," Jackson said around the six-minute mark below. "I'm like 'No, man, I'm not into that, man, I used to stream a long time ago.' He's like, 'No, man, I can get you paid from Kick. I'm like, 'Oh, what kick pay?' He's like, 'Yeah, bro. You can mix x and x amount of dollars.' I was like, 'Damn, I do got two kids in college right now.'"
