He went there for Usman and not the UFC.

Nothing wrong with supporting your friend, but something is wrong when you don’t show up to your job, not once but twice. And your coach saying you want back in the UFC.

Actually the haters do try to make him out to be really bad, when he’s basically done nothing but adeptly address his business interests, while hundreds of fighters have been left broke, brain damaged and extorted.

Is Ngannou a bad person? I don’t think so, but he did just accidentally kill someone, even though it was revealed that she died from medical malpractice, anywhere else he would still be investigated for involuntary manslaughter. The problem with Ngannou he should’ve been transparent, openly say he wants money and the ability to box, instead he added stipulations like healthcare, millions for his opponents, African MMA, get fighters and fans on his side. The irony is Ngannou is indirectly the reason why countless of fighters are broke and cant fight to make money in the PFL. Those hundreds of fighters, broke, brain damaged and “extorted”(something you made up) are grown adults making adult decisions, if they wanted money they can join the rest of us in the workforce without getting the brain damage, you make it seem like there’s no other option for anyone to make a living.

People ITT don’t know why he couldn’t make it, but they’re jumping out their chairs to make assumptions and throw him under the bus.

The president of the PFL has said we have to ask Ngannou why he couldn’t make it and he disappointed, if your boss says this, it either Don Avis doesnt know or Ngannou reason wssnt really valid excuse, because if it was im sure the president to the company would address it and not calling it a disappointment. We don’t know why he didn’t show up, but it’s 2 events a month apart, and with the amount time and money PFL, sponsors, and negotiation with state or city the event was held in just to get it sanctioned, and their main reason for the event and push was for Ngannou “business interest” and he doesn’t show up or address it, it’s safe to say Ngannou has to crawl out from under the bus on this one.

Haters gon hate.

You tell them the truth they call hater, talk to them honestly they call you traitor.

Dana doesn't lie, its fun to hate on him, fun to feel like you are going against "the man" but Dana is always being honest.

You’re not honest with yourself if you believe that. Dana a known liar

 

[AbominableJoman]

Little franny fled his tribe in Batie, only to be thrown in prison. Then taking his criminal record, he escaped to France. Countries couldn’t keep him out, and now he won’t show up per his multimillion dollar contract. Smdh….

Edit. Oh yeah. He recently killed a defenseless teenager. Smdh…

Francis possibly only goes on African tours to get away with running over children. Apparently Jon Jones is now interested in booking in on one of these tours the weekend before his next proposed title fight also.
I, for one, do not believe any of this.

And you’re not honest with yourself if believe everything that Dana says is a lie, you drank the Kool-Aid and believed in the “don’t believe his lies” meme when in reality Dana has some truth in certain subjects in this case, he kinda right about Ngannou.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Scammed by an African prince yet again!

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Guys, I really think it boils down to the simplest explanation

Phone rings
PFL: Hey Frank! It's Don....
Don Davis! I work for PFL, we've met twice
No worries, champ.
Hope you're excited to attend our debut show in Africa! 2 weeks away, this is gonna be great

FN: Africa... Africa-Africa...?? Wow that snuck up on me, I want to say Yes, I'll for sure be there but let me confirm my availability and get back to you. I g2g, talk to you soon Dan!

And that was the last time Dan spoke to Fran

Reading this thread is like...

 

[Bubzeh]

If the marketing money has run out then it's run out. This is a PFL problem not a Francis problem.

 

[Aurelian]

PFL totally fucked themselves with this deal with Francis. Not just this, but a long list of other shit as well.

Good for Francis though.

[axe wound]

I remember when Frank Black used to call himself Black Francis. Despite the enormous body of artistic output he has been responsible for, I think it's time we banded together to cancel him

 

[Cartiac]

If the marketing money has run out then it's run out. This is a PFL problem not a Francis problem.

The deal with Francis was not a marketing deal. Francis was officially given a leadership position and ownership stake based on at least a verbal commitment to the organization.

Yes, PFL was stupid not to heed Dana's warning about the type of person Francis is but hopefully not stupid enough to sign an equity and leadership deal with him without any accountability. At the same time we are talking about a company that already failed under their WSOF name, continued to fail after changing their name to PFL and then even bought Bellator, another failed company.

 

[Limeade]

I liked the event. Did you see the fight with spinning back kick into high kick into flying knee?

 

[Intermission]

After demanding that the organisation had to make events in that continent, sleazy Francis couldnt bother to show up. Dude showing contempt for both PFL and african MMA.

And I really doubt those events were profitable for PFL.

Dana was kinda right about, alright.

WHAT DOES IT MATTER?? What is this fake outrage going on in the UFC forum.

 

[Intermission]

Francis Ngannou can want africa to host MMA without having to be there. He is not the parent of africa. He is just a regular human being.

 

[Chama]

Dana doesn't lie, its fun to hate on him, fun to feel like you are going against "the man" but Dana is always being honest.

Lol
Go suck some more dik

 

[Pequeño Corey]

It’s cute how everyone is team Dana itt.

 

[Human Bass]

WHAT DOES IT MATTER?? What is this fake outrage going on in the UFC forum.

It matters a lot, he is the chairman of PFL Africa, those events were something he demanded from the org. Francis cared more about going to an UFC event than the org where he plays a big role.
