Media Pros react to Fury vs Francis announcement

[jitzmonkey]

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

Fair point; however he did it with Dana’s backing.
Ngannou “went Into the wilderness” so to speak.

To be fair..

If PFL were to make a move..

Paying a prolific, famous, fan favourite, world champion boxer is a pretty good one..

Finding the right business partner is the key to being successful when you’re starting.

Props (if this works out) need to be given to PFL’s management for identifying the opportunity.

UFC shills then: Francis F’d up without ufc footage and marketing muscle no one wants him let alone Tyson fucking fury.

ufc shills now: no one will buy this

 

[MRT]

U planning on buying this fight?

Can't imagine anyone doing so..

It is utterly delusional to think this fight won't sell.

 

[Paul E Gensinger]

Complete mismatch... BUT

Francis has a hell of a chin and Fury doesn't hit very hard..... if I was his coach I would train him to just blitz Fury from the opening bell and hope he lands something in the chaos.

Like he did to Rosenstruik.
I was like what the f....
Because I thought the technical striker would beat the windmill chaos.

It is utterly delusional to think this fight won't sell.

Well the 98% of cheap skates around here that illegally stream everything certainly won’t be buying it. But I’m sure they’ll complain about the next day if it disappoints.

 

[caesar]

So it's officially a pro bout? My interest level is going to take a nose dive to 0 if it's an exhibition.

Someone mentioned its got a no knockdown rule, lol... really? If so, then its an exhibition fight, a super great pay day exhibition fight lol.

 

[Sanctus]

I'm loving it!!!!
He pulled himself from hell to get to where he was being his own man.
When he got to France, he was told to go to a refugee center. He said he got there and the mood was depressing and it sucked his energy. He went to sleep in a parking lot.

When he thought Ferdinand was beeing toxic, he went away.
And people thought the bald good and his blood sucking team would enslave Big Frank!?

The man had a dream and it was to become a boxer and to be rich. Well, he is going to face the best, get paid a shit load of money and as a bonus, sets an exemple for other fighters.

That man's life should become a movie!!

 

[Mack Yancy]

OK GOOD We are cooking good then

Are you buying the fight though?

Arent you a border security type dude?

In one breath you think the U.S. should have secure borders, but then you are praising Francis for illegally entering France.

 

[King in the North]

This isn't Conor/Floyd?

1 of the reasons they could do that was Floyd was old and basically retired.. He had nobody left to right.. So sure freak show fight why not? Plus Conor was the biggest MMA star ever..


Francis who is NOT a star and does NOT move the needle was supposed to face Jones..
Fury has Usyk out there who right now it's clear he is ducking..

What's the audience out there that will pay 90 bucks this? Damn If I know?

He’s getting Saudi money you dope. Gate and buys don’t even matter. That’s the best part.

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

I’ll buy this just to spite Dana white!

 

[MRT]

Sherdog does not drive big PPV numbers in MMA though...just as the boxing purists don't drive big PPV numbers in boxing.

Big PPV numbers are driven by broader appeal to not only the casuals, but the broader public. Between both sports' audiences and the novelty of this matchup, I'm pretty sure it will do well. Probably not *crazy* numbers, but it will surely do well if the promote and price it properly.

 

[don't ask]

Someone mentioned its got a no knockdown rule, lol... really? If so, then its an exhibition fight, a super great pay day exhibition fight lol.

People keep saying that, but nobody can explain where they got that info from. I don't think it's true.

lol is this what set you off in your deleted thread? I can't even wrap my head around how you wound up like this, but I know the internet is definitely involved.

 

[SaigeVanZant]

It is utterly delusional to think this fight won't sell.

Ngannou couldn't even sell in his own sport. Fight will probably move some numbers in the UK. The US it probably won't do that great. Another thing is that being in Saudi Arabia, the fight will air mid afternoon in the US

 

[ditchbanger]

Your post makes you seem immature and petty, just like Dana.

Haha that's a good one. So now you're the big boss at pfl and your fighter that you're going to pay millions and millions of dollars to gets his buttwhooped in the ring before he has even fought in the pfl. Not a good strategy.

 

[StonedLemur]

thats fine but at the same time, literally no one is asking for this fight.. so really who are the winners?

And nobody asked for Floyd and Conor either.

 

[GrantB13]

I laugh at all the doubters. Jones, Ngannou, Conor. 0-2. Can they go 0-3 in predictions???

 

[StonedLemur]

Haha that's a good one. So now you're the big boss at pfl and your fighter that you're going to pay millions and millions of dollars to gets his buttwhooped in the ring before he has even fought in the pfl. Not a good strategy.

PFL isn't paying him for the boxing match so what exactly are you talking about sir?

 

[Dbreiden83080]

And nobody asked for Floyd and Conor either.

You know that is total bullshit. Tons of people wanted that.

Tons of people wanted that? Ok lol
