Francis has no Real Options Outside UFC

UFC made Francis a great offer and he rejected it. Is Scott Boros his agent? I remember when Cubs starter Jake Arrieta turned down a huge offer from the Cubs for a lesser offer from the Phillies because he thought he was worth a lot more than he was. Now? Washed up. Gotta grab the money when it's on the table.
 
Fury likes his tuneup fights. Ngannou is a better paying tune up fight then the likes off Otto Wallin, Tom Schwarz, Francesco Pianeta, etc.

They won't play it as a tune up fight though. It will be easily to market it.

Lay out exactly how this fight will take place, given:

Fury has a mandatory.

If he wins that, he then fights for all the belts.

If he wins that, he will then have 4 potential mandatories.

None of the organisations will sanction a fight vs Francis because he's a complete novice.

Francis is under contract. And if he isn't, he's no longer UFC champion so people will give even less of a shit.

Fury is notoriously full of shit so his twitter talk means nothing. Just like when he said he'll fight in the UFC after he's finished boxing.

White is correct, someone is giving Francis some really bad advice.

This has been gone over many times. No one's saying it will happen for sure. Francis' contract ends in December. He will be able to fight after that. He also has to have knee surgery. Fury should have already had a bout signed but it will happen soon. It will all depend on the timing.

No one will sanction it? You mean like how no one would sanction Floyd-Conor? Or more recently say Pulev-Mir? Do you even know what you're talking about?

You haven't given any explicit reason why it can't take place other than "Fury likes to talk on social media".

Floyd was basically retired and the UFC backed that fight. And what title does Pulev hold, dummy?

Hey dumbass, give an explicit reason why it's impossible for Ngannou-Fury to have a boxing match. I look forward to an actual answer.

I'm glad that you concede bringing up Pulev was completely fucking moronic. And I've already told you why it won't happen. Why don't you tell me why it will.

You haven't told me anything. Bringing up Pulev is perfectly fine since you're worried about fights getting sanctioned. I can say it again for you. Pulev-Mir was a sanctioned fight.

So again, you seem very opposed to Fury-Ngannou happening. Give an explicit reason why it can't happen.

See, you don't even know the difference between a sanctioned fight and a title defence which is sanctioned by one of the governing bodies in boxing. Which, in the case of Fury, is very relevant, as he stands to hold all 4 of the main belts. Pulev holds none, which is why it was moronic to bring him up.

So again, you seem very opposed to Fury-Wilder happening. Give an explicit reason why it can't happen.
I'm opposed to Wilder vs Fury happening? Sucks for me then, it's happened 3 times.

This was your statement numbnuts:

None of the organisations will sanction a fight vs Francis because he's a complete novice.

They will definitely sanction a fight between them. So again, why can't they have a boxing match? No one ever said anything about belts or title defenses.

Give an explicit reason.

As for Fury-Wilder, I've gotten pretty used to typing that. It just comes naturally ;)

This was my statement, you retard.

"If he wins that, he will then have 4 potential mandatories.

Do you really need me to explain it in painstaking detail? OK. If Fury wins the WBC, IBF, WBO and the WBA title, he will owe a mandatory defence for each of them. He may be permitted a voluntary defence, depending, but none of the organisations will sanction a voluntary defence vs someone who is not ranked in their top 10.

Do you get it now?

You explicitly said:

You did not say:

Also, I understand writing things on separate lines makes it easier for a child like you to keep track of what you're writing, but you should try to get away from that.
 
Tbh if Fury wants Ngannou fight I don't think Top Rank will get in the way. Remember ESPN is disney you think they care about Dana's feelings?

My apologies. I assumed people with basic comprehension skills would be able to follow. I forgot about "people" like you.

People with basic reading, writing, and comprehension issues usually have to write each idea on a separate line. Just saying.

And evidently, you can't even follow that.

So, we've established that you're a simpleton and you don't know shit about boxing. Now that I've explained it to you, and there's a 50 / 50 chance (and I'm being generous) you finally understand, why don't you tell me why Francis vs Fury will happen. That's FRANCIS, not Wilder. I know you have a little issue there.

Hey look, you actually wrote a paragraph instead of separating each idea on a new line and confusing yourself.

<36>

The only thing we've established is you don't know anything about boxing or MMA. You still confused about when Ngannou's contract ends? The UFC backed Conor which is what made it ok to sanction? You're a twit.

I've asked you multiple times why it's impossible for Fury and Ngannou to have a boxing match, whether it's for a belt or not. Or any crossover fight for that matter. You haven't given an explicit reason for anything. You're just sitting here whining.
