Why did Dana let Conor boxe but not Ngannou?

[Dana's Moonface]

Where is Conor? His ppv numbers are bigger than canelo?

Surely the UFC pay the fighters their worth?
Edit that list ain't accurate

Where is Ronaldo?

yep, you got me, good job.

It’s ok, I’m sure you’ll just move on to broadcasting another inane idea that you have

yep, you got me, good job.

Data is available on what Fury’s boxing opponents got paid. Especially his last 2 with the 80/20 splits Fury demanded and got. It’s amazing that you believe Francis was able to exceed their pay by such an exorbitant amount.

It made sense economically. Didn't they get 50% of his purse IIRC.

And the PPV sold millions

It's 2023, the obvious explanation is because he is a racist.

Yes

However the real reason is money

Cause Conor was the UFCs largest draw ever and they had no other choice if they wanted to continue to have him fight.

 

[LNwolf87]

The casuals wanted the fight to be made, McGregor and Mayweather bring in big PPV numbers. Ngannou doesn't do big numbers, and the UFC didn't want to risk their heavyweight champion getting KOed and damaging the UFC brand. The risk wasn't worth the reward for the UFC.

Winners focus on winning.

Real winners in Life focus on Sherdog

At the time Conor had huge leverage with his ppv sales so was given more rope to keep him happy. Francis did not have the same at the time of him asking for this. So dana probably saw it as not worth it for the potential of having another of his champions embarrassed in boxing. Turned out to be the wrong call obviously.

What ever the case may be, Conor had to still give 50% of his money to his wife slapping pimp Dana after getting humiliated by Floyd. Strickland was right when he said they're essentially prostitutes for daddy Dana, and in more ways than one.

Strickland is a UFC fighter too. He's either trolling or he's a hypocrite.

He's just telling the truth is how I see it. He might be retarded but he's honest to a fault.

2+ million ppv buys>under 100k

Reportedly got 50 mil upfront

Everything he says about UFC fighters is true of himself too. So he's not just retarded his a hypocrite and a whore for dana. Let that sink in, fanboy.
