Media Pros react to Fury vs Francis announcement

[StonedLemur]

Well you just said it yourself then.
The UFC saved that fight.
This "fight" won't have Dana White and the UFC carrying it.
I'm willing to bet Fury negotiated something close to a 75/25 split and will be an absolute dud numbers wise.
And no belts on the line?
This will be labeled as an exhibition by "fight" week.

Yes but the point is nobody asked for or wanted either fight.
The UFC carried it because they were pushing Conor to the moon.

Francis did this on his own.

 

[Dacha]

Usyk fighting Ngannou after this.

Just kidding.

 

[Youtried]

Still a bad move for francis, he will lose badly then try to market him as baddest man on planet in PFL when he gets boxed up. He just wants one payday even though he will look like chit, he has no pride. The UFC knows how to run a business, they let francis go no problemo..

Lmao they literally begged him not to go and opened up the purse strings. Cope.

 

[Busgosu]

there’s nothing incongruous in my post. calm your autism and read it a few more times until you grasp it.

Lol it makes sense. I was just laughing at how fucking dumb you are.

 

[Goutfather]

Lol it makes sense. I was just laughing at how fucking dumb you are.

that’s very cute. you’re giggling into the void like a mentally handicapped person. carry on.

 

[Dr Fong]

It is quite incredible that so many people feel a genuine emotional attachment to a sociopathic degenerate wife beater personally.

Or at least an equally baffling emotional attachment to the three letters used to brand the fight promotion owned by his Hollywood talent agent boss.

Dana's own mother despises him. And yet you, a random internet neckbeard that Dana wouldn't piss on if you were on fire, will take up arms to fight for his honor.

 

[SpiderFan187]

I swear, people lose all common sense when the think emotionally.

lol yep, same people are the worst at coping. I had a freind spam me with Francis fumbled the bag memes for weeks and today has been a fun day with me serving him memes back and asking.. do you still think he fumbled? and he'll replay with stuff like Dana White is the goat and richer lolol

 

[Busgosu]

. carry on.

 

[Sanctus]

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.

What are you talking about!!??
Im not even american and definitely not a border security!

 

[Gamboal]

How much is he gonna make? I'm thinking minimum $15m surely.

Happy for him.

 

[Cpt Migraine]

Keep crying, it makes me happy.

Are you sure you quoted the right person here?

I'm pointing out it being a good business move?

 

[Deleted member 592822]

You do know they said the same thing about Mike Tyson vs RJJ to promote the match then admitted closer to the date that it was an exhibition.
And for everyone talking about Francis winning the lottery here, do we know how much he's guaranteed for this session? Let's be honest, he doesn't seem like the best businessman and I don't see this fight doing shit for ppv buys.
Let's hold up a bit and wait to see what and how the dust settles on this "fight.'

cope some more. the Saudis are backing that, it's part of their political plan to use sports washing, they're putting nonsensical money into everything. You saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema contracts ? what they did with golf ? Yeah Ngannou is getting paid BIG BUCKS

 

[Hima Hamrash]

Haha, Dana is so angry, also fuck Dana's meat riders, man, Hope Dana's lifespan gets lower to 1 year lol, he said last year he only has 10 years to live, after that, it has been reduced to 1.

 

[Mr. Super Necessary]

He literally got everything he wanted. Dana's bullying and fear mongering that you can't thrive outside of the UFC failed.

True. And Dana is a bully. Like, yeah he gives Conor or other stars what they want but even though Conor is far from a pushover... Conor plays the game more, which, is smart on his part - what I mean is... if you want to get what you want, you get people on your side and are pursuasive...

So in that sense, Francis is dumb. Vs. like Conor who gets exactly what he wants but does it by being affable, with humor and speaking like a mate and creating that relationship...

Wheras Francis seemed to be like, flat and demanding. And you can tell that rubbed Dana the wrong way. But so, sill satisfying to see Dana give off the 'fuck him, he's finished' vibe because he wouldn't kiss his ass or do as he's told, then have this happen...

Gives other fighters more power as now they have an example to follow.

 

[Dirty Frank]

EDIT
Apparently normal rules (HYPE)
My only problem is the no knockout clause <{ByeHomer}>
What is the point? Who wants to watch that?? Big Frank knocking people out is kinda the point?!

I'm still confused what the "NO KO" rule means. Are they supposed to hold back on their punches to not KO the other guy? And if they do, the dude who got KO'd gets a DQ win?

 

[kflo]

Lol he had to give a big part of his purse from the bout against Mayweather to the UFC. Plus Francis had less privilege and had the UFC and the fans against him (we wonder why ).

Nobody except him was believing in what he wanted to do. Now he's about to make it. Congrats to him.

The ufc was the co promoter. They don’t take his purse. They pay his purse. Yes they made good money but the purse and the ppv points belong to Conor.

 

[kflo]

He did what they let him do, and that's because he paid the UFC 50% - 60% of his purse for the right to do that sir.

Ngannou doesn't have the UFCs metaphorical finger in his ass and will not have yo pay anyone a huge chuck to do what he's doing tbf.

He didn’t pay 50-60% of his purse. Where did you get that?

Equal rites equal lefts.

Wait?

He ducked Jones. Ufc foolishly gave him a title shot 2x. He came off like a fool after Stipe 1 wearing sunglasses indoors. Talking nonsense and getting spanked 5-0.

Conor at least isn't struggling to Crack 100k ppv buys. Francis Windmills punches with his eyes closed fighting mostly jobbers and can crushers with FEW EXCEPTIONS that only include past prime greats. Reem and Cain were well done.

Fury is going to bully him and KTFO.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

I’m curious to see how much money Francis is actually going to make off this…
Fury is known for taking most of the bank in his fights and will surely be receiving the lions share, especially as the A side. And I can’t imagine PPV buys are going to be great due to it being an exhibition spar, on top of promotion going to be hard with no usable footage of Francis.
