So, Fedor wanted better money, and / or some kind of leverage in the promotional side of things. Plain English, he wanted to get paid, and wanted to be in-front of, and behind the camera so to speak. He wanted his boys to get paid to I guess.
It's not MASSIVELY different to what Francis is hung up on. As I understand it, he wants to negotiate his deal after, or before every fight. Wants the freedom to take on other pursuits while he's doing that. He doesn't want to be OWNED by the UFC... Pretty much the same as Fedor ..... This is the narrative anyway. None of the promotions, or him to be fair, have listed the same reasons for backing out... It's a different one every time.
The biggest difference seems to be that EVERYONE is having a hard time finding common ground with Francis, whereas with Fedor it seemed that only Dana and co had a hard time.
For me, that speaks volumes as to what it is preventing Francis from getting signed.
Flame away. But I don't think he is doing himself any favours right now.
