Did Ngannou really think there was a market for him outside the UFC?

[pick999]

He ducked jon

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Francis will make bank when he fights a big name boxer, so he'll be just fine.

 

[jooohnmatrix]

Typical moron, let greed ruin his career.

 

[CasualBot]

Maybe fighting YouTubers in spectacle matches… and I’m not even joking. It’s probably the only way he’s going to get the payday he wants.

Eh "fact checker" ... what pay does he want?

Post the information where Francis states the pay he wants. Do not claim "dana said it".

Since you ... check facts and all ... before you start threads or make assumptions

Casual,
confirmed.

Typical casual,

thinks that the guy wasn't scammed out of money publicly by the UFC over a bitcoin payout.

Stands up for himself and the UFC's shady practices (as many former fighters have).

You = "typical moron"

How do you kids get through life with so little awareness of reality.

You can only count something as a "duck" when the fighter takes less $$ to fight someone else.

If he fights wilder or fury for 20mil, you can't reasonably say he ducked Jon, considering that's 5 times more than the combined payout of Jon vs. Gane

Dwight definitely ducked Francis.

3 years of ducking to be exact.

Longer than anyone in the history of the organization.

 

[Human Bass]

Lol...Ngannou is probably receiving offers from 5 different organizations and negotiating atm. He will end up fighting with an organization that pays him 3x what the UFC would, along with huge sponsorships. On top of that, Francis will demand that he be able to box professionally as well.

Francis will be just fine. He made the right move.

What org can pay him 24 millions?

 

[Robbie b]

Wilders last fight did 75k !!!
75 000 buys.
Let that sink in.

Who was he fighting? I will put my money down that if the advertise a Wilder vs Francis fight, “two of the most powerful punchers in any combat sport” people are definitely going to tune in. I know I would be one of them.

Fixed

Cute.

Good luck.promoting Francis without any UFC KO footage.
You are Ngannou fan. There aren't that many of you. ( Francis isn't draw )

To tell you the truth I’m pretty indifferent about Francis. However, sometimes there are matchups that make pure sense as a combat fans dream. Gatti/Ward, Hagler/Hearns, Geathe/Poirier, and I think Ngannou/Wilder fits into that category.

 

[SharpasaRazor]

How this thread still around? Its pretty much just unadulterated fighter bashing with no substance.

Your are combat sport fan. Casuals make big ppv numbers. I would for sure tune up if Francis boxed. Certainly would watch that rather then UFC fight night or zillionth title rematch/trilogy/quadrupling....
But not too many people would tune up with us.
Even when Francis percentual changes to win are in single digits.

Whether in another MMA org, Boxing, or Kickboxing…


Fans from other sports like Boxing or Kickboxing are far too educated to buy into a rudimentary striker even being able to compete with their athletes let alone go straight to the top of the food chain… they’re not paying for a squash match.


Meanwhile he’s pricing himself out of MMA despite not being a draw.


What are the motives behind Ngannous career self sabotage?

He just needs to fight one time in boxing against wilder or fury to make more than he ever did in the UFC .

Sometimes a payday isn’t worth sucking Dana off. Taking a pay cut to make a stand against corporate greed isn’t uncommon. As long as he can support himself and his family, keeping your dignity should be next to paramount.

After the afformentioned and not even close to being made boxing match that Ngannou is delusional about, what next? He takes a loss and gets paid, ok cool. Now what? How is your legacy remembered? Do you go to bellator so they can rematch you with the same 3 fighters for the next 2 years with no promotion?

Fury wants to fight Francis though.
