Dana White doesn't know why Jon Jones hasn't signed his UFC contract

I think JBJ is playing mind games with Gus and wants more money too

Jones reportedly makes $400,000 plus a cut of the PPV buys. It's a completely different story for him then it is for every other fighter not named GSP, AS, Bisping or Rashad.

So he shouldn't try to get more? Top guys should take whatever the UFC offers?
 
Now is the time for him to bank. He knows that Gus has game....and that Daniel is dangerous as fuck. Get your money Johnny Bones, you've earned it...Dana can skip the casino for a couple of weeks.

It's not about $

He's trying to procrastinate this fight as long as possible because he remembers what Gus did to him last time.

You're seriously fuckin stupid. I'm sure he remembers Gustafson losing a fight to him. This is business.

Im seriously going to start pasting this in every thread where Jones is implied to be a coward for not signing a deal he doesn't like:

You are all missing the bigger picture.

Jones isn't afraid or ducking anyone. That's what Dana is insinuating in order to try to make Jones sign a less favorable deal than he can get by waiting and properly negotiating terms. Gus will still be fighting when these negotiations are over. The last time Dana tried using fans and media to pressure Jones was ufc 151. Jones didn't bend over then, and he is not going to bend over now.

All you guys complain about fighter pay and you want Jones to sign a new contract as soon as possible even if he doesn't like the terms. It makes no sense.

If Jones has finished the fights on his contract, he and his manager should be fielding offers from other promotions for the ufc to match.

If he hasn't, then why is the ufc trying to make a new deal before the Gus fight? What if Jones wants to finish his current contract BEFORE signing a new one? The open market would end up making Jones a lot more money just because the ufc would match any offer made to him.

Think of the position Jones is in:

1. Approaching free agency
2. P4P #1
3. Number 1 in his division
4. Has beaten 5 ufc champs
5. Arguably undefeated except for one bs technicality

Does this look familiar? Remind you of a situation from a few years back where a fighter was offered 6 million dollars a fight? Now imagine that fighter was only 26 years old. Jones has more leverage than arguably any fighter in ufc history. He won't be bullied through fans and the media into a deal that he doesn't like.

What's it you guys always say? If you don't like the contract, don't sign it.

Jones is going to take that advice. Its time to find out how much one fighter can really be worth to the ufc.
 
God damn right, he should take that shit to the bank. Jon should be trying to get as much money as he can out of the contract with the UFC at this point.
 
By the way this is the source:

2:45
[YT]2fGRQpQb98M[/YT]

He says "Ask Jon Jones"

Where did the "I don't like it, I don't like it at all." come from? Unless its in another part of the video, he did not say that.

Wand ran away, Jones is a coward and GSP wasn't that good.

Dana is awesome.
 
All DFW does is talk about how much money the UFC makes then suddenly doesn't understand when a fighter wants more money
 
That's all he does? really? wow, you sure seem to know alot.

Except it's obvious that you don't.

How about shutting up the next time you think we're interested in your point of view on matters you haven't got a clue about. :rolleyes:

It'd be funny if someone shooped Jon and Arthur's heads onto Will Smith and Wesley Snipes in this gif
 
I just hope he's only trying to get more money, that's perfectly understandable... but if he is acting up because he wants DC vs Gus that's just moronic. There is absolutely no one else remotely deserving of a title shot in that division
 
doubt it's about $$$

the UFC is gonna be paying him bank
 
Doubt its even about money

I think he just want's to stall the fight to play mind games

There is a huge difference between what the ufc makes from a fighter and what the fighter makes from the UFC. Jones is trying to close the gap a bit.
 
Strip Jones for not fighting and have Gus vs. DC for the title. The End
