How much money is Jones trying to ask for to fight Tom?

[Alacran]

Does anyone have an idea of how much Jones is asking for a fight with Tom? What is fuck you money? How much do you think the UFC should pay him

 

[AmonTobin]

“FU money” = “Stop asking me to fight Tom” = >$30M?
I bet they’re just about ready to move mountains to make the fight happen.
But whatever their final offer is, Jones will price himself over that.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

30m at least for legacy so probably asking for 50m.
Conor kinda raped them when it comes to discussing that!

 

[dominion]

Enough not to realistically get it

 

[Söze Aldo]

1 dollar above whatever the UFC is actually willing to pay, so he doesn't have to take the fight.

 

[whocares]

Jon - I want 100 million

Tom - I'll do the fight for free

 

[Megatronlee]

100 million. I feel the same

 

[Travis Alexander]

Couldn’t imagine a world where 30mill doesn’t get the fight done. It would give Jon a payday that is worthy of risking an undefeated GOAT legacy over against a young hungry HW who is in incredibly dangerous but is an extremely low draw by comparison. Anything less than that genuinely isn’t worth it. I know that most of you would argue against this stance but it’s the reality. Jon is the one with everything to lose, he’s already fought and beat the best for almost 2 decades at this point they need to show him the $$$. The UFC can afford it for one of their biggest stars and indisputably the best MMA fighter of all time to make what Dana himself said “would be the greatest MMA matchup of all time”.

 

[Mammothman]

Deontay Wilder money which means 30-35 millions

 

[ferrisjso]

1 million dollars for every sherdog poster thats asked for the fight.

Or the amount Russia is suing google.

 

[jk7707]

Enough to make sure that he never actually has to fight Tom.

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

He's not asking for money he's asking for your mom.

yeah I can maybe see it... but, for that cash he'll likely want to continue.

Is he worth that every time?

(If he loses, then will want a rematch, if he wins, will want Poatan, etc etc)

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Bout 3.50

 

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

Just enough to price himself out of the fight

 

[Leonard Haid]

It'll be at least 15 Million. Allegedly (I don't have irrefutable proof), Brock Lesnar made 8 Mil in 2001 for UFC 200, and using an inflation calculator, that's about 14 Million in 2024. So, I'm thinking that Jones will want to top that. I'll go out on a limb and say 20 Million.

 

[B ville Famous]

Francis Ngannou money

 

[pamirec]

Realistically he could get 15 million +PPV points.

 

[cheesus]

He'll ask for "fuck off" money but they should just give it to him.

 

[MMAProfessional]

I'm trying to understand if he's just not wanting to fight but I'm pretty sure he's using this as a negotiation tactic especially since Tom got a lot of spotlight from this so it might be worth taking the fight now.
