Jones isn't ducking Aspinall

He needs 30-100 million dollars, to get him into the octagon now. The same as GSP. The same as Floyd Mayweather in boxing.

It boils down to money for a special night in UFC history, one of the biggest fights in the 30 year history.

Jon Jones is the GOAT.

So for his final fight, vs Aspinall (7 years younger, 35 pounds heavier). The bosses need to pay the money out.

They agree Jones is the goat. In almost every interview, Jon Jones is the face of the UFC, with bosses using his name regularly

Ariel Helwani on the business model
The negotiations with energy drinks, with broadcasters, go smoothly.

But the negotiations with the GOATS (who need the same money as the executives) always go south.

Whether it's Jon Jones, GSP, Fedor Emelianenko, Khabib, Conor. Aspinall. Whoever you can think of - Tony Ferguson. Every single GOAT has had problems with the bosses and become angry.

This can't be true. Way too many genius Sherdoggers have said right on this forum "Aspinall is a nobody". "Easiest fight ever for Jones." "Stipe at 42 years old off a 4 year layoff was a bigger threat than Aspinall is."

These MENSA members cannot be wrong, nobody will watch or care about Jones vs Aspinall.
 
The sales don't matter at this point

Every interview bosses say "Jones is MMA GOAT"

It's like when Chuck Liddell and Brock Lesnar were favoured over Fedor Emelianenko.

Sure - they probably had more PPV points, but the true fans know who the GOAT is.

The fighters are pawned along to stay happy in the meantime. Conor didn't need money from BKFC, but he invested there

Ultimately, even Dana's favourite chess piece, Chuck Liddell, had to go and sell himself out to Dana's worst enemy, to remake Tito Liddell 3.

Oh, sorry. Didn't realize you had zero clue how a business operates. My bad!
 
Is it reasonable to estimate the UFC currently has over 1 billion dollars of net profit banked. Yes.

So why can't it pay Jon Jones 30 million dollars.

Because if they offer him 30, he’ll demand 50. It’s not about the money and never was.

They just need to tell him - sign and fight or be stripped. It’s way, way overdue.

But Jones is once in a lifetime fighter.

Negotiations could be done in 1 day

But they will take 1 year so that Execs can say they boosted profits again
 
Francis wanted big money and left too.
Ask yourself, Has Dana left. Has Hunter left. Has Buffer left.

**Facepalm**

Dana literally owns a % of the company (or did, and has huge stock options now).

Where are Hunter or Buffer gonna get comparable compensation?

Ngannou left because he had options, wanted to box and got paid a ton to do it.

If they could be done in 1 day, it would have been done. Jon is doing everything he can to avoid Tom. He’s even admitted it himself multiple times. If the ufc had a brain, they’d just strip him. His ego wouldn’t be able to take it and he’d come crawling back. He holds the belt hostage because he loves to feel important and needed, he avoids Tom because he knows he will lose his power without the belt.

So basically he wants like a charity retirement event for himself where every dollar goes to him? I'm sure everyone involved will be happy to give Jones their pay because he's goat and Dana is going to be real happy taking a loss on the event just so Jones can walk away with a huge amount of his money that he's supposed to be delivering to the owners. But he's not ducking.
 
Saying any champ is ducking or scared is usually ridiculous but Jones has said things that make you wonder

He said he wouldn’t fight DC at HW, wanted to fight Brock, somehow avoided Frances & cherry-picked the two he did fight

Tom is a monster & I would have bet a year ago Jones would never fight him now I guess there’s a chance but will still have doubts until the cage door shuts
