Pay Ngannou $30 mill, not Jones

Boxing match highly possible. Fury said he wants to fight Ngannou if he beats Anthony Joshua. Ngannou wants to have a boxing career too.

Because you think Dana will let Ngannou out of his UFC contract?
 
They always say don’t quit your job til you for sure have a new one. Jones needs a new manager.
 
Francis would be highest paid athlete per hour In the world if they do. That will put UFC in the Center of attention. Do it WME!!
 
The only fighter to make near 30 million off a fight is McGregor. And as much as I hate him, it's because he sells the PPVs.... He's had a fraction of the fights Jones has and has sold millions more PPV buys. So yeah.... They look at him and think consistently they'll make around 60-70 million off PPVs alone with him. Because.... they have. Jones hasn't broken over 800K buys and that was at the peak of this rivalry with DC. Sell the PPV's and you can ask for those paydays. The notion that you're taking a risk to move up to HW and that entitles you to make practically what you've made over your career.... you're fooling yourself. Jones is one of the best, but his actions outside of the ring have had an effect on his following and his PPV numbers reflect that. Between multiple suspensions... Legal troubles... fights canceled because of shit he pulled. He's lucky to be making what he's been making and the fact the UFC would even risk big fights with what he's been like. So no... I wouldn't give him anywhere near that... Maybe the the pair of them split 20 million with a larger chunk going to the champ. And they split the revenue?! Sure.

Totally agree about Conor, I know Jones vs Ngannou would be a blockbuster, but doubt it would beat a Conor vs Random Fighter, fight.

Jones, Ngannou aren't household names and never ever will be, Conor is on par with The Rock and guys like that.

I know who Conor is.

Jones hasn’t had one fight at HW yet and he’s begging for $30 mill.

I would rather see Ngannou versus Tyson Fury in a boxing match and see him get paid $30 mill, win or lose.

Fury vs Ngannou > Jones vs Ngannou

Pay both a lot of money, but it's clear that Jones is the A-side here. Ngannou's fastest track to super stardom is beating Jones. Got to beat/sacrifice a star to make one.

A guy who's 1-1 in title fights vs. the guy who's been champ for 10 years... okay, lol
 
Dumbest thread we've had here in a while and that's saying a lot.

Pay the guy that just won the title with 0 defense get paid more than the one people arguable call the GOAT.

Makes sense.
