NHL Contracts & Salary

Florida Panthers Contracts & Salary

In 1995, Ed Jovanovski signed a four-year rookie contract worth $5.5 million with the Florida Panthers. He earned $1.5 million for his first season in the NHL, followed by $1.6 million in 1996, $1.45 million in 1997, and $950,000 in 1998.

Although he left the Panthers after the following season, he returned to the team at the end of his career, signing a four-year, $16.5 million contract in 2011. Jovanovski earned $4 million in the first year of the contract, followed by $4.25 million apiece for 2012 and 2013. The 2012 NHL lockout likely cut his earnings in half that year. Ed retired during the fourth year of the deal, having been inactive for most of the season. While playing with the Florida Panthers, he earned roughly $16 million in total.

Vancouver Canucks Salary

Upon initially leaving Florida in 1999, Jovanovski inked a four-year, $9.2 million deal with the Vancouver Canucks. The contract was fully guaranteed, earning him an average annual salary of $2.3 million.

In 2003, he signed a new 3-year deal worth $8.5 million, which boosted his average annual salary to $2.83 million. However, the 2004/05 NHL lockout resulted in Ed earning no salary that year. Instead, he took home $4 million the following season. While playing with the Vancouver Canucks, Ed Jovanovski earned roughly $17.7 million.

Arizona Coyotes Salary

In 2006, Jovanovski signed a five-year, $32.5 million contract with the Phoenix Coyotes, now known as the Arizona Coyotes. This was the most lucrative contract of his career, paying him an average annual salary of $6.5 million.

Under the agreement, Ed earned $7 million in 2006 and 2007, $6.5 million in 2008, and $6 million in 2009 and 2010. He likely earned the full value of the deal, bringing his total earnings from the NHL to roughly $68.2 million.

Real Estate

In June 2007, Ed Jovanovski paid just under $4 million for a 7,122-square-foot, five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Unfortunately, the purchase occurred just before the 2008 financial crisis, which immediately reduced the property’s value. Several years later, in January 2011, Ed tried to resell the property for $3.5 million. He eventually settled for just $2.8 million in November that year.

Shortly before selling his old home, Jovanovski paid a whopping $5.21 million for his 15,792-square-foot six-bedroom, eight-bathroom waterfront mansion in Boca Raton, Florida. This property is enormous, featuring multiple offices, a library, a home gym, a billiards room, a theatre, and a wine cellar. Ed sold the home in June 2016 for $15 million, but Zillow made a slight error on its listing page, listing the sale price as $150 million.

Summary 

Ed Jovanovski is a standout, earning honors on the All-Rookie Team. His net worth has increased yearly, especially after his championship-winning tournament. Once Jovanovski signed on to the Vancouver Canucks, he had already begun his massive climb towards being the team’s best defenceman. Among all his gold medals, he is most grateful to his beautiful wife and four children.

Introduction

Alistair Overeem is a Dutch professional MMA fighter and kickboxer with an estimated net worth of $10 Million.

Overeem has experienced quite the career, spanning more than two decades and more than 60 fights across MMA, kickboxing, and Muay Thai. The Dutchman is best known for his tenure in the UFC and K-1, in which he became the interim heavyweight champion.

In this profile, we’ll highlight our research into Alistair Overeem’s net worth and income sources, including earnings from fight purses and brand endorsements.

Quick Facts

• Total disclosed fight purses: $4.54 million
• Highest-recorded purse: $850,000 against Stipe Miocic at UFC 203
• Secured endorsement deals with F3 Nutrition, Hayabusa, and Rize Energy Drink
• Earned at least $75,000 from Reebok sponsorship bonuses

Fight Purses

When it comes to discussing the total money Overeem has earned from fight purses during his career, there are a few points we need to note. Firstly, a fighter’s purse is normally disclosed to the public only if the state athletic commission requires the organization to do so.

Secondly, disclosed fight purses and total compensation are completely different things. That became abundantly clear when court documents revealed the actual compensation that well-known fighters like Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor, and Brock Lesnar earned in the mid-2010s. For example, when Overeem fought Brock Lesnar at UFC 141, Lesnar’s disclosed purse was $400,000. However, according to the court docs, he took home closer to $3 million. The difference is derived from PPV (pay-per-view) shares. Bear this information in mind as we look at Alistair’s known fight purses.

According to his Tapology profile, Overeem’s total disclosed earnings amount to $4.54 million across his entire career.

• UFC Fight Night – Walt Harris (2020) – $400,000
• UFC 213 – Fabricio Werdum (2017) – $800,000
• UFC 209 – Mark Hunt (2017) – $750,000
• UFC 203 – Stipe Miocic (2016) – $850,000
• UFC Fight Night 87 – Andrei Arlovski (2016) – $50,000
• UFC on FOX 17 – Junior dos Santos (2015) – $542,857
• UFC on FOX 13 – Stefan Struve (2014) – $150,000
• UFC Fight Night 26 – Travis Browne (2013) – $285,714
• UFC 156 – Antonio Silva (2013) – $285,714
• UFC 141 – Brock Lesnar (2011) – $385,714

Thus, Overeem’s disclosed purses account for just 10 of the 66 fights in his professional career. Therefore is career earnings are likely much, much higher, especially when accounting for PPV bonuses.

Endorsement Deals

Alistair Overeem fought several of his UFC fights before the organization signed its sponsorship deal with Reebok in 2015. Prior to the deal taking effect, fighters were able to negotiate their own sponsorships and promote them on their fight gear. During this period of his career, Overeem secured endorsement deals with numerous companies, including:

• MMA Elite
• Hayabusa
• F3 Nutrition
• Rize Energy Drink

Once Reebok became the primary sponsor of the UFC, fighters were paid a small sponsorship fee per bout that increased with the number of fights they had in the organization. Several of Overeem’s Reebok bonuses were disclosed alongside his fight purses on disclosure statements from the athletic commission. These were as follows:

• UFC Fight Night 87 (2016) – $5,000
• UFC 203 (2016) – $30,000
• UFC 218 (2017) – $10,000
• UFC Fight Night 141 (2018) – $15,000
• UFC on ESPN+ 34 (2020) – $15,000

Most athletes from the pre-Reebok era agree that their endorsement income declined significantly once they were no longer allowed to promote their own sponsors.

Summary 

Alistair Overeem is considered one of the greatest heavyweight fighters in the world, and for good reason. He’s accomplished a lot during his career. Even in his 40s, Overeem has continued to fight at a high level and remains active as both a kickboxer and a mixed martial artist. Due to his performances and appeal, Overeem continues to draw big numbers, which in turn translate into massive payouts for his fights.
