Media Pros react to Fury vs Francis announcement

[don't ask]

Bye Dana!

Just kidding..

Until people realize that morally questionable people can be very good at their jobs the internet is a frustrating place..

No one is saying he's not good at harming fighters' careers and disappointing fans with their switch from merit-bases fights to popularity-based fights, we're saying that's not good for anyone but Dana White and the UFC owners. And maybe not even good for them long-term.

Do we live in a parallel universe where McG doesn't exist anymore?

What percentage of that Mayweather bag did he have to give to Dana and the UFC?

 

[Tweak896]

You know its true.

Maybe i'm old but i think a lot of people equate dana being mildly annoyed with a victory of the blue colar man..

I'm not convinced..

Not really a hill i'm willing to die on either..

No hating on Dana is cool like defending Palestine against oppression. Not your mainstream shit

Naahhh... It's lame and transparent and just the cool thing to do on Sherdog. Dana gets my respect because during the Sweet and Sour Sniffles "Pandemic" he kept the UFC going when every other org had cardboard cutouts and half of Sherdoggers were running around with drawers on their faces. And now Frank is fighting in some pointless match and everyone on here is rejoicing like Dana gives a shit.

He was, and still is, Dana White's property.

That's not the reason anybody enjoys seeing Dana take an L. It's because he's piece of shit that harms the sport we like.

This will be boxing version of Randy/James Toney

Are Francis apologists going to buy this crap? I'll bet not.

You mean the guy who had to pay Dana a huge chunk of his cut for the Mayweather fight? And can't fight now because of USADA? Yeah he really broke free.

Conor almost certainly took home more money for that fight than Francis will for this one and had his proper 12 deal outside the ufc. He’s pretty free financially. Good for Francis. And good for conor. Both did well. We’ll see how it goes for Francis from here…..

 

[Fact Checker]

What a joke LOL

 

[thebesteva21]

Man I hope people dig up all the loud mouths on this board saying this fight would never happen…

I think a bunch were in a thread about it Francis made the right choice when leaving UFC. Not only is this fight happening, it’s happening in 2023

 

[lloyd2wayne]

Is there a price where you are out?

Over 85 bucks?

Damn are you Dana? Every other post of yours is asking people if they are buying it What the fuck has price got to do with it? He’s buying it. Simple gesshhhh

 

[Goutfather]

you can tell from reading francis fan posts that this is kind of a personal thing for them. they really like francis, hate dana, or both. that’s the appeal. but honestly this fucking sucks. no knockouts??? wtf? i don’t like francis ngganou, so seeing him get knocked out is really the only reason to watch. aside from that, i have to agree with usyk’s manager—it’s a joke fight. fury shouldn’t be wasting his time with no-knocc out exhibitions when he has real challengers in front of him.

An Ngannou fight with a no knockout clause is like a...

Good for Francis!

Mcgregor just got so big that even when the u

Props to Francis for sticking to his principles and banking a shit ton of money in the process.

Fuck Dana White!!! Can't wait to see his face get bright pink when they ask him about this and hear his triggered response. LOL

How much is he making though ? I think fury has all the leverage in this and gets 90% of the purse, he probably just felt like sticking it to the ufc and agreed, maybe pfl put some money in too to fuck with the ufc who knows but francis pulled it off thats a W
