The Pulse: Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou

[Joshuaace]

I'm a lot more interested than I was.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

He wants him to flat line Fury and make mega millions....

No wait... we're talking about Dana. He probably wants Ngannou to get retired tomorrow.

 

[AmericanMMA]

I think he wants him to dominate and make a shit load of money, because that is the kind of guy Dana is.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Dana White and UFC brass are snakes and want any sort of competition to fail. Ngannou got the last laugh though, he’s making 8 figures, Jon Jones is finished, and UFC 295 is in shambles. Ngannou bless!

This is the 2nd time in the modern era we have a UFC champ crossing over against a legitimate all-time great championship boxer.

Except this shit doesn't even have 2% of the hype that Conor vs Floyd had.

Now that we're less than a day away from the fight, how much is this really going to sell?

Someone is going to lose money over this if the inflated numbers online happen to be true, 50m for Fury, 10m for Ngannou.

 

[DOMMA]

I read somewhere that Ngannou is supposed to get $10M; getting KTFO for $10M is wisest financial move he has ever made.
The dude is 37, his fighting days are done.

 

[Ladder Master]

So Fury rubbing his boobs on Frank is supposed to get us hyped.

Fury and Ngannou hopes so : )

 

[TrueBias]

I sure am not going to contribute any nickels to watch this shit. Fury is boring. Shit, I'll just run into any gifs that get uploaded afterwards and be on my way.

Would be be hilarious if Fury takes him too lightly and gets Ford Escort'd

 

[IneedSometop]

Connor and Floyd were both 20X the stars Ngannou and Tyson are and that’s pretty much it

 

[Neck&Neck]

Are they rubbing chests

 

[Poatan Power]

Yeah, the crossover appeal of Conor vs. Francis is crazy diametric. Francis just isn't interesting to a casual, even though he has a tremendous back story. He's also almost 40 and obviously trying to cash in, not seriously box. Conor sold the fact that he was seriously boxing and seriously fighting MMA, even though he was serious about neither by that point lol

 

[ferrisjso]

Yes.


I think boxing promoters overestimated peoples stupidity after Floyd v Conor and Celebrity boxing(which is mostly balanced). There's just no path to victory for Francis. The Wilder fights make the idea of Francis KOing Fury with one lucky shot seem nonsencial. After fighting a less skilled boxer with nuclear hands and winning what is the appeal of seeing Fury fight someone with nuclear hands who can't even box?

Except in boxing you don't usually get flash-KOd. More likely francis takes life changing damage over several rounds of battering, or he quits early and loses all of his hype and becomes a total joke, or (unlikely) fury carries him to a decision. 10M for 1 fight, plus 1 fight in PFL is about the same as taking, what, 6m a fight in UFC where he actually had a (key word) chance to starch Jones, pavlovich, etc.

 

[IneedSometop]

I don’t think Dana cares from a business perspective. The ufc is so much bigger than it’s other competitors it doesn’t really matter what any single athlete does right now.

From a personal perspective he probably wishes daily that Ngannou wraps his car around a tree

 

[David Street]

Way too much hype it is all hype, it is everywhere twitter's X, Instagram, You Tube, online it is too much a garbage fight, will be so glad when it is over, please get it over with.
