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

[chiefwiggum]

Anything other than the first billion dollar fight would be a failure.

 

[CieloLuce]

Nice, hopefully he got the contract he wanted.

 

[Clark Rogers]

I’m English there’s no month 16 we say 16/5/23 in the uk . so I’m assuming that you write 5/16/23 in America weird

Yeah over here it's month, day, year, usually.

I feel ya though I think the same thing when I see someone do it day, month, year lol

 

[Sweater of AV]

I’m English

 

[podsox]

Golden boy mma is back baby

 

[Luckyme]

The only thing better than an announcement of an announcement is an announcement of dolls.

 

[xhaydenx]

PFL for nowhere near what the UFC offered and he's allowed to box, which won't matter because no one who is able to get him the huge payday he wants is going to ever fight him anyway.

 

[xhaydenx]

Don't know why u screwing up your face. The man is right.

 

[Hank Grill]

Who is paying him these millions? More power too him but what organizations have the kind of cheddar he's asking for

 

[Sincere Guy]

Although I dislike some of his antics, I wish him good negotiations. Every fighter deserves a good payment and we deserve the best fights.

 

[WolverReem]

Man he looks old. Wouldn't be surprised if he announces retirement or something not fighting

 

[neomage2021]

He got a job at Dominos

 

[neomage2021]

Cool. Dude is probably going to make at least 100 millions against tyson fury. If he stayed in the ufc he would have made less than a million per fight probably.

What planet do you live on? OF course he's not getting anywhere near that much. The whole reason Fury has had trouble finding ANYONE to fight is because they won't accept a much smaller cut than him.

Fury rejected Ruiz for wanting 12 million

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

What a GOAT.

 

[Ramon Antonio]

I’m just here to complain about that date format. mm-dd-yyyy makes no fucking sense.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

That was honestly a cool promo. It's weird and sad seeing so many people shit on Frank. He's in the rare position in life where you actually get to pick and choose who you work for, how much you get paid, what you do. I guess some people are jealous.

I know a lot of us just want to see him fight Jones in the UFC but this isn't about us. If Frank signed a deal he is happy with, I'm happy for him.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I hope that his contract stipulates that mma fighters all get health-care because, that's what he was fighting for right? Not the money, right?
And to add, I'm guessing this contract will end up netting him LESS than what he already had on the table with the UFC.

Let's not ignore the fact that when Francis left it was all about him vs Tyson Fury in a big mega fight. I'm guessing he's scaled back those expectations quite a bit since then.
I wonder if all these guys cheering him on out of a job and fightin' against the man will keep that same energy when it's announced that he ended up taking a pay cut and fighting some no-name.

Won't even be close to what he had hoped for or was expecting.

 

[Jitter]

I would have to be almost for what double the UFC offered to make out because he already lost 8 million on the Jones fight

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Obviously pfl or bum fights.
