Edit:
He's also feeling disrespected and discredited by the UFC-
“From what I’m seeing, the UFC is trying to discredit me. That’s what I know. And those promoting somebody cannot work together with discrediting him. You don’t do that to somebody that you want to promote,” said Ngannou.

“What do I look for? First of all, I look for some respect, that’s to start. Then I look to get stuff right, I look to feel like I’m respected, to feel like they care at least. That’s it. I never asked for anything more than that. That would be enough for me. … I gained the position that I am at,” Ngannou added. “I wasn’t nominated, I wasn’t assigned to be here, I earned it. So that means I deserve a little bit of respect, just a little bit. I’m not a big deal, just a little famous, that’s it. (Laughs).”

I won't argue that the UFC underpays their fighters.

But if Francis still can't afford to pay for a training camp right now, that's his own fault.

 

[Madeline Chelsea]

His fault for not staying active.

Didn't he pose with nice expensive cars?

Uncle Dana does what is best for the business and ultimately for the fighters too. He built UFC into a multi-billion dollar company that is challenging NBA and NFL in popularity. The cage fighting business would be a fraction of what it is and Ngannou would be fighting in Bare Knucle if Dana didn't exist.

Stop crying you commies.

Lol at challenging the nba and nfl in popularity. Okay, pal…

Can’t tell if you’re trolling or just dumb...

 

[Karelinator]

Between salary, performances of the night and Venum money, he got paid almost a million in a year.

And then the endorsements.

I'm all for bigger pay for those guys, but they seriously are doing something wrong if they can't afford a camp.

 

[Fesaine]

He got paid like a million 6 months ago. Either he's lying or just doesn't know how to manage his money at all.

 

[Gamrot]

Camp to fight who?

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Did he actually say this. Or someone just made this up?

 

[Coolkid666]

Imagine being that good and still paying to exercise hahahah

 

[NoSmilez]

Bullshit. He lives in the PI.

This one’s shocking because of Ngannous international appeal, and OBVIOUS marketability. I mean seriously, this is one of the guys who should clearly be getting paid.

Im sick of the ufc robbing the fans of good fights because they won’t pay their athletes properly

LOL - I busted up laughing at that too. UFC is worth like 2x the New York Knicks.....yes the entire UFC is worth the same as 2 NBA teams.

If these fighters want to make so much money go do and what someone like Ziggy Ansah did. The guy was born in Ghana....never even saw NFL as a kid. NEver played it until sophomore year of college. Made it to the NFL and career earnings of $40mil.

Why don't more fighters do this?

Here’s the full article to anyone interested: https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/ufc...ppy-having-to-borrow-money-for-training-camp/

it is recent

 

[sonhow]

Hes been pretty vocal about pay recently and it seems to have heated things up with the goof.
Might need to be careful though as Dana doesnt lose these battles often.

There's one source..

If you go online you'll see plenty more.

Did he actually say this. Or someone just made this up?

He said it on an interview with Helwani.

IMO he's lying to garner sympathy and pity for himself OR he just sucks with managing money. Bcuz as others have said, he makes enough to buy fancy cars and stuff.
