News *** Francis Ngannou Free Agency/Contract/Decision Making Discussion MEGA THREAD ***

[XociDe]

Funny how 3 promotions have basically come out and said Ngannou is near impossible to deal with, but it's still UFC BAD!

If the PFL are really offering him more than $8m/fight, then good fkin luck lmao. No one cares about Ngannou vs UFC rejects or regional level guys. The money was in the Jones fight and subsequent fights if he had won (which would've made him a legit superstar).

You two aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, are you?

The only reply I have to that is please enlighten me what the source of the quote is.

Chatri worse than Dana is laughable, that's new to me. People are going crazy or are being paid lol. Never saw anyone talking bad things about Chatri, much on the contrary.

He's known for stalling contracts on guys who want to leave.

Plus you wouldn't hear people say anything bad as he has NDA's put in ONE contracts so people can't say anything bad.

Half way through a UFC PPV fight week and no announcement from Francis yet. Just saying

The only reply I have to that is please enlighten me what the source of the quote is.

don't waste time on him, he's a total mong. Easily among top 10 in the forum, which is some sort of achievement all things considered. Check his other posts, it's a miracle he's still lurking around. Best thing is to ignore him altogether

 

[Willy Knuckles]

And PFL probably pays him less than Bellator or One.

What makes you say this?

So, the UFC gave Bork $8m to win or lose?

Bork cheated and still got paid?

Francis is entitled to earn Bork$

 

[kenetics]

I’ll give you all Spoilers for how this ends:

1.) Francis signs with PFL

2.) People start quoting that he’s getting paid huge amounts.

3.) Francis will say “I make more in one fight in PFL than my entire UFC career combined.”

/end

In reality, he’ll be making like $500k-$1mil per fight.

If pfl allows sponsors he should make more.

 

[mmainvestigations]

Not a surprise the haters are talkin out of their asses.

If people can't say anything bad, so why all of that hate against him? Go figure.

UFC does the same thing. Double standards purely.

 

[Pechan]

Wait so the whole 8 mills shit came from someone tweeting that the highest HW purse so far was 8 mills?

 

[daltonames]

Of course there would be the army of Dana apologists coming in hot to trash Francis here. UFC contracts are Draconian. Imagine signing a contract where:

You are bound to contract ( say 4 fights), and contract is still in effect for 5 years post retirement, and you are an "independent contractor" so you get no protections or benefits.

Even tho you are chained to the contract, the UFC is in no way bound to the contract and can let you go at any moment for any reason whatsoever.

If you're making the assumption that UFC was offering a fair and just contract ... I mean just give me a break. If you've followed UFC for any length of time here you should know that
A) Dana is always lying
B) UFC was 100% trying to screw Francis in any way they could. It's what they do.

"Even sheep have enough brains not to follow a wolf"

 

[XociDe]

People act like Ngannou has been a major draw for the UFC. His last fight (which was his biggest) did a $5m gate and 300k PPV buys.

The guy is delusional.

I think him and Dana are both scummy so I'm equal opportunities at least.

 

[Fedora Millionankles]

Lol, I'd bet that Francis has made more money than you in the past 9 months. And I'm also going to bet his lifetime earnings will dwarf yours.

Granted, I don't know you and you may be worth 100s of millions of dollars. But I'm going to bet that you're on the 3rd floor of that glass house pelting rocks. Laugh away, rich guy. If Francis is lucky he might hit your stratosphere one day. I bet he's wishing that right now.

Amirite?

EDIT: Basic math. ONE claims to have offered him 20m that he turned down because he prefers his deal with PFL that is being finalized. Assuming it doesn't fall through, would you concede that PFL IS where the money is for Francis if he just turned down 20m for it?

Hint: this involves basic maths. Don't forget to carry the 5.

I’ll take some ranch with that hefty word salad. But regardless, you are assuming that you know the details of his ONE offer which, again, you don’t. The reality is that regardless of you’re dumbass assumptions, Francis isn’t going to get a boxing Superfight and will fade to irrelevance in the Professional Forgotten League. Once he takes a loss to a tomato can, I’ll be using some more of my tax money to provide big Frank with a relief check.. Again…

Wait so the whole 8 mills shit came from someone tweeting that the highest HW purse so far was 8 mills?

Well it comes from deductive reasoning. Dana said Francis was going to be the highest paid HW ever, so people took that to mean he's at least getting 8 mil since that was what Brock was paid. The 8 mil per fight thing was a narrative being spun by vocal idiots who can't read very well. 8 mil per fight was never said, and I don't think the number 8 mil was ever mentioned by anyone involved

 

[MuayThaiBX]

He could be contracted to make huge money but "gambled on himself" thinking he could make obscene money. And so far that gamble has not paid off at all. He's contracted to make nothing as of now and his prime years are evaporating.

The guy is delusional.

You don't have a source for the PPV buys though lol
