Lol, boy that changed from “it’s up to jon jones to tell the people” to “The exact number is 30,000,000” real fast

 

[SalvadorAllende]

LOL. These 2 throwing shade at eachother is hilarious.

Now we sit and wait for Jones response.

 

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

Jones is worth about $5 million. He's delusional if he thinks he's a draw like the top boxers or someone like Conor

lol.. Dana is throwing numbers out of his ass, at this stage.

 

[MillingMeSoftly]

LOL Boxers who are non-draws like Terence Crawford make that much money to fight on ESPN+.

Jones is one of the better PPV draws and bigger names in combat sports.

What the UFC gets away with paying these guys is embarrassing. The revenue split would be illegal if the Ali Act applied to MMA.


Seriously, Wilder has only had three PPV fights his entire career. He wasn't any kind of draw until his first fight with Fury. Jones has literally sold 10 times as many PPV buys as Wilder has in his career.

Sure he did.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

30 million was crazy for the wilder fight aswell. If they allowee ads jones could make bank.

Minutes before this interview dana white was seen furiously typing “what’s the most any fighter has ever made” into google.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

His ppv buys don't support that number. Jon is worth somewhere around a base $500k plus $2-$3 per buy. $2-$3 mil total a fight.

Imo the biggest bargaining tool the UFC has is ppv points. Want more cash, champ? Go get some fans!

 

[Slaikkaaja]

Now I don't know what the fuck is going on anymore..

Lol the undefeated GOAT and top 3 ppv draw is only worth paying 3 million? This is a D level sport if that's the case.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

lol.. Dana is throwing numbers out of his ass, at this stage.

Of course he is. And for anybody that is too lazy I can start posting all of the links of Dana White feuding with fighters constantly over money and contracts. He is not credible at all.

This is basically a game of chicken right now. Will Jones step up and take whatever number and the fight gets announced?

To be fair, Jones/Ngannou would do as well as a Conor card would.
