Dana needs to put his ego aside and resign Francis ASAP

Makes no sense for Dana at this point, imagine signing a 40 year old Francis that you've had extensive negotiation battles with to come knock the fuck out of your new young marquee fighter at HW that is loyal to the company. Probably not worth the sales from that one fight.
 
Frank is too busy improving fighter pay worldwide to have time for that.

Remember all of the bullshit he came out with, that gullible morons lapped up? The only fighter pay he's ever been concerned about is his own.
I mean he got the random can he fought a seven figure payday. That's more than any other MMA fighter has ever done for an opponent.

I'm not sure the PFL can afford to pay Francis never mind his opponent.
 
But didnt Francis say its about morals and values and not money why he wanted to leave the UFC and would never come back? So now Francis has no morals and values anymore?
It's almost like he was bullshitting.

Oops, gaslighting. Gotta be cool

Idk how many times they can afford that yeah. I was just referring to the fight he already had there with whatever cab driver they found.

That dude made more money than a lot of former champs and contenders and I have no idea what his name even was.

I remember him being very tall. That's literally it.
 
Francis couldn't draw even an average PPV buy rate against two of the biggest draws in boxing (from the country where most of Tom's fans reside). There is no evidence Tom is any sort of PPV attraction either, this makes zero sense.
 
waiting for PFL to sign Jones to set up what the UFC couldn't: NGANNOU VS. JONES
 
Why would they sign him like you say he is already 39. I also dont know if he is a draw dont remember any ppv doing crazy numbers. HW pool will always be small adding a 39 year old wont change that.
 
Francis is too good for Dana at this point. He’s made tons of money more than he ever could with the UFC, why go back now? With him losing his son is a legitimate reason he doesn’t need to fight again. Francis can retire under PFL.
 
I doubt Dana would have much to do with it if Francis wanted to come back. Dana doesn't run TKO. There's bigger fish than him. If Francis wanted to come back and they thought he would be worth it, they'd make it happen.

But Francis might not even want to come back. He just had two huge boxing paydays that the UFC will never match for him. He got KOd in his last boxing fight and his last MMA fight for PFL no one really cared about. The UFC could very well just offer him less than what they were paying him before.

Also, dude is like 38. He doesn't have that many fights left in him most likely. The UFC aren't shelling out huge cash for that.

They know that Francis doesn't really have many options either if he wants to continue fighting MMA. He can come back to the UFC on their terms and fight a couple of times for what they want to pay him, or he can go off and fight in some other org. No other org is going to offer him anything near what he wants, or what the UFC would lowball him with.
 
Francis is a wrestler now, why would Dana want a champ like that when Tom's knocking guys out.
