Aspinall and Dana need to start begging Turki Alasheikh to help make this fight

[duke_droese]

UFC are too stingy to pay Jon 25 million+

This is the biggest fight in MMA. Nobody cared about Jon Vs stipe and nobody wants to see poatan get grapple fucked (unless Jon is going to cut back to 205).

The only other fight that compares is if ilia goes up to fight islam.

I doubt Turkey man is gonna bank roll that much for a UFC event

He could maybe go half in with them

 

[AmonTobin]

Not saying they shouldn’t pay him but why does it cost more to fight Ngannou and Aspinall? Jones seemed perfectly ok taking much less to fight Gane and Stipe. Why is that?

Why should Dana need to beg anyone? Jones is still a fighter under UFC contract.

Dana basically can do whatever he wants to Jon.

Dana's cucked hard by Jones for some reason

 

[Genki Sudo]

I doubt the ppv figures will be that great to warrant Turki to intervene. Jones can piss off now and no one will care

Turki won’t infringe on anything Emirates is associated with. There’s a cold combat sport war between the two gulf states.

Dana and the UFC have enough money to pay Jones

There is no proof that Jones accepted less to fight Gane.

The only released figures for Gane are only a fraction of what he actually made behind the scenes.

Same is true for Stipe.

The only money qualms Jones had with the ufc were in 2021. Not a single word about money issues in 2022, in spite of several fights, including Stipe close to happening(according to Helwani)

Neither Jones or Dana ever mentioned them again. Indicating very clearly that they offered him numbers that he was happy with, long before ngannou actually left.

Not too many fans want to pay to what a mediocre HW like Tom lose though .

I saw some sherdoggers mention him saying that he wants fuck you money to fight aspinall.

In 2021, Jones wanted, according to his own words: "much more than 10millions" and, according to Dana White, "30 millions", to fight Ngannou.
Also, Dana said Ngannou with a 8millions per fight deal, would have been the best paid HW in history.
I don't believe for a second that Jones didn't take less to fight Gane and Stipe that what he wanted for Ngannou.

In 2022...Ngannou was off due to a knee injury. And it was no secret he wanted to try free agency at the end of the year.

Thats a negotiation tatic, you say a higher number, usually an unrealistic one and argue down from there, Jones saying he wants 30 million dollars, means He'll take 12 and some other incentives.

 

[scytheavatar]

Why would Turki pay to make Jon vs Tom when he can pay to make Poatan vs anyone, which is almost certainly going to be a bigger fight?

because nganous team declined the 8 - 14 million to fight jones
if they didnt decline the fight should have already happened

Not even Jon Jones UFC superfights match Francis Ngannou’s current pay

Sorry, Dana! The UFC’s offer to Ngannou only comes close to touching his boxing and PFL pay with the help of two hypothetical bouts against Jon Jones.

also tom is a fighter that people are rooting to beat jones
hes basicaly bigger name than gane
the whole world wants to see the fight?

He did not take 12millions and only resurfaced 2 years later so I'm not sure we can call that a negotiation tactic.

Jon vs Aspinall is the biggest fight in all of combat sports right now. It's Usyk vs Fury/Joshua level.
