Jones demands F U money to face Aspinall

[blaseblase]

This needs to be a sherdog meme. Can we get some shoops about this? There was Anderson Silva money back in the day. Now there's Jones demanding F U money to offset the risk of him losing a fight:

"I want to be compensated to the point where, if I won or lost, that it really wouldn't matter."

Jon Jones demands 'f*** you money' for Tom Aspinall fight after UFC 309, still insistent on Alex Pereira

The only way Jon Jones fights Tom Aspinall? If UFC CEO Dana White makes an offer he simply cannot refuse.

Means of ducking. He did that with Frank also.

 

[Contempt]

It's almost like he's a prize fighter looking for the easiest fights, for the most money.

How is anyone actually surprised by this?

Give it to him. Fuck it. If Dana is shouting about how Jon Jones is the number 1 p4p, number 1 absolute goat and that he beats any man alive, then pay him as such.

Exactly...

Pay the man... he's put in like 20 years into this sport and has beaten everyone he's faced mostly in the UFCs octagon...

Just throw the bag at the man already....


Give Jones 15mill, Give Aspinall 2 million...get the whole fight signed for under 20mill...fuck even give Aspinall 5mill (not worth that to me ) but just get the fight made..

A billion dollar company shouldn't be worried about making this one fight money wise

They want fighters to get paid as much as possible and use tough negotiation tactics vs pink goof if possible, except for when it's Jones.

They want legends to retire at the perfect time before losses start piling up and especially to avoid taking damage, except for when it's Jones.

Fight fans are consistent like that.

Yep, I just find it funny the amount of people on here that complain that the UFC needs to pay the fighters "what they are worth"... then the literal GOAT of the sport says: I'll fight him, but you need to pay me a metric fuckload of money to do it... and they start whining.

Yes. I think Jones is asking for more than 15 though. It's probably in the 25-30 range. It's more than what they paid Conor. I say give it to him still if that's the price for fighting Tom. A price high enough for him to take the risk.

As far as Tom, he's happy with 2 mil. Money is not the appeal for him right now. He wants to fight Jon/get the undisputed strap.

Dana gonna send the nelk boys to the drop off

How about some NFT's Jon..

That's not who he was for most of his career. He's shook because he has a legacy and doesn't want to lose. He was never worried about losing 10 years ago.

Yes, he's in a different position in life now. Are you surprised by the fact his attitude has changed over a decade?

Everyone, including Jon knows that Aspinal is a threat. If he's going to take that risk, he wants to be well compensated for it. I really don't see the issue here.

Thats the number I was thinking. Jones should be satisfied with 15m

I have nothing against Jones demanding more money. He should have been doing that years ago. But the fact he wants to fight Pereira for less and is publicly worried about losing speaks for itself. Just concede that he's scared of facing Aspinall. Jones stans still won't admit this, even though the man himself has voiced that concern.

Again, Jones has not once intimated that he has any interest in fighting bloke. They offer 10, he says 20. they offer 20, he wants 30. they offer 30 he says you know what, I'll do it for 50 million. And tbh Dana's ego is not going to let himself or the UFC get taken for a ride. They'll offer plenty but once that gets shut down, Dana's ego will flare up and he'll start trashing Jones. Remember these are two legendary egos clashing, they don't just give in. I'd be happy to be wrong. Doubt I will be.

Jon will not allow his highlight reel to become besmirched. That's worth more to him than anything the UFC can offer.
