Francis Ngannou earned more in 2 boxing fights than his entire UFC career

[The Bloody Nine]

Wouldn’t you? I mean he restored balance to boxing.

Are you saying Francis took a dive?

The UFC and Jones came to terms and that dispute was resolved thanks to that Golden Boy guy(not De La Hoya the other one). If Francis had resigned the fight was going to happen. Jones agreed to terms with the UFC before Francis made his intent to leave the promotion clear.

man I will admit I could be wrong, but I remember Jones asking for 30mil and when the UFC said no obviously, Jones was suddenly completely content to "stay retired" then the milisecond it was official Francis left the UFC, he suddenly got the extreme urge to prove himself against legendary HW Gane, and young prime Stipe.

Isn't this like the fourth version of this exact same thread?

I’m pretty sure he did. I mean he embarrassed boxing the way he beat Fury.

Pugilism desperately needed to get back to its default setting after that.

I’m sorry I am opening your eyes to the nasty side of sports business but at some point you have to accept Santa Claus isn’t real, son.

why u stressing about a mans finances? u tryina get him to take you out?

 

[xhaydenx]

He also made all that boxing money because of his UFC career.

He never would have gotten those boxing pay days if he'd started out with boxing because he'd never have gotten that far, and he'd never gotten those chances in boxing if it wasn't for the spotlight the UFC gave him.

UFC is what brought Big Frank to the dance.

Months before Francis left Jon vs Francis was being planned for the very card Jon instead fought Gane on

“A UFC exec called and basically said, ‘Hey, what is your ideal timeline, and what is your ideal match up?’” Nicksick told MMA Junkie Radio. “Does it matter what my opinion is? No, but it is nice that they called and asked. I said ideally I would want March, and ideally I would want Jon Jones.

“The person that called agreed 1 million percent that this is what [UFC] would like, as well,” he continued. “That is what Francis would like. They’re calling to figure out timeline on injury and how long I would need to get him ready.”

lol why would Francis take a dive? He would had made triple the money if he beat Joshua.

lol what? If anything Turky(however his name is written) would ask Joshua for a dive, dude is a Francis fanboy, thats why Big Frank is getting all these fights.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

It's almost like boxing is a much bigger sport than MMA.

Who'd have thunk it?

 

[LEWIS540]

So your that one dude who opens their mouth about a subject yet has no conviction either way. Why say something in a snarky way to start with? So you're that guy people get annoyed with lol. We have those guys at work and I straight call them out on it .

*you're or your?

You seem cofused.

Who was Francis before the ufc? He was a nobody with a loss to Zoumana Cisse on his record. Francis did his part by winning fights in the ufc, and the ufc did their part by promoting him for doing so. Francis refused to re-sign with the ufc numerous times and lost out on a lot of money because of it, that’s his own fault.

It payed off for Francis at the end. He already went through the UFC HW division, won the title twice . At this point money definitely would be most fighter motivation after accomplishing that. I don't get why people are upset he made more money in two fights then he ever did in the UFC. It is what it is.
