Media Pros react to Fury vs Francis announcement

[FlowchartRog]

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?

You know, I use to think that MMA fans were the ones losing by not getting to see the Jones/Ngannou fight. Honestly though, deep down I know Jones was going to beat Ngannou. Maybe the universe saved me a bunch of money because now I don't have to pay to see that fight and I am definitely not paying to watch an exhibition with no knockdown rules. That's not fighting, that's sparring.

Why are people still parroting this nonsense?

It was bullshit started by Eddie Hearn - the rival promoter to Fury's promoter - to just throw shade on the fight, in the most transparent way possible.

Of course there isn't a "no knockdown rule". Even the way Eddie said it, seemed like such obvious bullshit. "I heard it's no knockdowns or anything like that" <Lmaoo>

As if you can just decide if a fighter gets knocked down or not, this isn't WWE

Don't worry sherbros, Francis is getting knocked down and stopped by Fury. The fight will probably be entertaining, at least in the same manner as Pillowfists McGregory getting clowned by Floyd.

You spout hate.

I make fun of you for a variety of reasons, especially your lack of self-awareness and being paid to post online to defend shitbags.

Enjoy.

Get over it and try to be a human being. Anonymity shouldn’t make you feel good to be a dick.

Usyk is right. If they got rid of money tomorrow and this was just for sport, this is last matchup people want.

Usyk hasn't said anything. His manager got salty because he wanted a cut of the Fury money.

Bud, take a long step back and observe yourself and what you spend your life doing. You’re literally anonymously posting on a forum to defend shitbags.

Think for a change. Lol.

Apparently Francis management team went on a podcast and said he will earn more money in this one fight than the entire contract the UFC offered him. He's looking at $20million pay minimum for this fight.

Source - around 6 min mark, geezer in blue can't seem to grasp the fact that the Saudis are doing this as part of the sports washing program they have going on.

Which there's a shit ton of money in that matchup, so there should be some sort of split that makes both guys happy. Really dumb how that amount of money isn't enough for fans to get the matchup they want. In fact it shows how greedy fighters have gotten today, not enough people mention that.

It’s not clear yet whether you’re even able to bet on the fight since it’s still potentially an exhibition.

I bet on the mayweather vs logan paul fight, and that was an exhibition fight right?

 

[Bouboumaster]

Go get that money Boy!!

 

[kflo]

I bet on the mayweather vs logan paul fight, and that was an exhibition fight right?

How did they pay out? No winner was announced….

 

[P4p Islam]

How did they pay out? No winner was announced….

I dont know but it didnt matter. I bet on floyd itd...

 

[Fahcough]

who the fuck are any of those people

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

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 wouldn't worry about that clause, it's not even enforceable. It might also mean no 3 knockdown rule instead. I don't think they will be pulling their punches, Ngannou's only chance is to hurt Fury.

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

Lame ass goal post movers.

 

[Tyler Durden]

I’m failing to see what good this does for Francis career.

still don’t know how much money he got but

it’s either:

A) an exhibition fight, which does nothing for anybody, nobody will care or watch ngannou not a draw anyway. Goes back to PFL irrelevance fighting janitors

B) a real fight in which case probably gets more money but is KOd in a minute, embarrasses himself, and disappears into even further irrelevance. Maybe continues fighting janitors in PFL.

tldr who gives a shit why is this a big deal

NOOOO didn't you hear??
FRANCIS TOTALLY GOT OVER ON THE UFC AND PROVED HE IS THE BEST BUSINESS MAN IN THE GAME!!!!!!!

 

[Tyler Durden]

...therefore, McGregor didn't break out of UFC slavery chains like Francis now has.

If you move backwards can you call it "breaking the slavery chains"?

And you went off the deep end a bit with the slavery claim, huh?

 

[FriskyRandy]

I dont know but it didnt matter. I bet on floyd itd...

Post a bet slip. No winner was announced, how the fuck could anyone bet on an exhibition without an official winner?

 

[Tyler Durden]

I dont know but it didnt matter. I bet on floyd itd...

So you bet money on a fight.... and you never checked to see if you won or lost?

 

[Stan]

U planning on buying this fight?

Can't imagine anyone doing so..

Even shills like yourself will be buying this up along with most UFC fans that remember this fight.

 

[r-harper-1]

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

If they ask …..MMA reporters are soft and scared

 

[r-harper-1]

I know it’s a long long long long shot ….but if Francis could just clip him right on the tip of the chin and be HW boxing champion
