I hope he can go box Tyson Fury and make a lot of money. It is a shame the UFC is being so stubborn.

99.9% chance he gets bodied tho

He knows that, but he probably ends up making more money boxing.

And more importantly that seems to be where his heart is. He wants to box, and he’s a knockout artist.

UFC doesn’t need Ngannou, I guess we’ll see if he needs UFC.

No probably about it. Unless he’s got the worst agent ever, he’d make more in one fight vs Tyson Fury than he made in his entire UFC career combined

Wholeheartedly disagree. Jones vs Ngannou had the potential to be the biggest fight ever. UFC fumbled the bag over pride.

The idea is to do it with mma gloves so Francis has a chance; that'd be interesting.

Francis is the ‘B’ side. Fury’s calling the shots if he wants the fight.

The modern UFC was Dana White's idea.

Well The Fertitas and Dana bought the UFC. It’s my opinion that the UFC would be better off without Dana, he treats people badly, has bad business practices. His monster ego gets in the way of everything.

That's not true. The Fertitas bought the old UFC after Dana White pitched them the idea for the new UFC.

The article says he can negotiate with MMA and boxing with zero interference from UFC.

The way it is worded almost makes it sound like they are defending the UFC. He is not affiliated with UFC so of course they can't interfere.

Maybe. The Tyson Fury fight would be more interesting I think. Although he would lose I am amazed by how Fury can out box people. He can still make a lot from a fight with Fury.

so says dana. have any #’s been made public?

Mabaum t1_j4hlyo4 wrote

I mean he’s not going to just claim that when Francis and Ngannous team could just refute it which they haven’t.

of course he is. he’s a promoter, he’ll say anything he can to make himself look better. brock made $2.5mil to fight mark hunt at ufc 200. i guarantee they didn’t offer francis that. highest base salary francis ever made was $600k for the gane fight and he was making $150-200k before that.

i’ll believe it was the biggest hw contract if/when the contract leaks, until then it’s just dana doing what dana does.
