None of us can answer this for some other guy, unless he is late stage Tony Ferguson/BJ.

Depends how much $$ he wants to make, how much he still enjoys training and feels sharp, how much he wants to risks being flatlined again.

I'm guessing he doesn't want to go out on a string of KOs though, so best way to avoid that for now is MMA. Winning PFL won't restore his manna unless he gets a brutal finish.

If he wants legacy over money, he needs to find a way to fight a credible HW and there's of them on Earth and those fights ain't happening.

Its a tough choice, MMA comeback doesnt seem easy in Renan Ferreira, how's the expected pay for that one?

More than he made in the UFC. There's gonna be a lot more interest in that fight after he got KOd.
 
Retirement.

Any boxing fight is not going to have the same appeal. Honestly, Joshua made him look like a can. If he wants to leave with a victory, PFL would be a good option...but I think Renan Ferreira would be too dangerous. It's not worth the risk and his chin isn't the same anymore. So...retire.
 
PFL. No doubt he'll knock that guy out no matter what people think based on him getting ko'ed by a multi time world boxing champion. He floors that guy in the first round and move on.

LOL. Man, there is a big reason you didnt live up to whatever potential you may have had in life. Alot of that reason is in between the lines of your post. haha.
 
Hahahaha at everyone who thought Frank could box. Fury didn’t even bother training or preparing or even diet for the fight. Hahahaha

He's already rich, why would he continue to fight and risk severe brain damage? And no, he wouldn't easily defeat Renan Ferreira. He would most likely get brutally knocked out again.
 
Jake Paul or bust.

Bare knuckle of possible.

Maybe co-promote with Gamrbred BareKnuckle.MMA (&PFL)
 
I doubt Francis can get another huge paycheck in boxing now. 0-2 with a beatdown loss.

PFL will pay him good, probably not as much as his last two but a couple million likely, his opponent was guaranteed two mil so no way he would make less than that.

If he is done soon winning another fight elsewhere lets him ride off into the sunset, shore up finaces even more and give a middle finger to Dana.
 
He should coax the most popular boxer he can into a cage fight. That way he makes this loss work for him as it actually creates more intrigue in the boxing vs mma, who’s the real baddest man on the planet narrative. Fury already expressed interest & would be both massive & winnable for Ngannou.
 
Fight Wilder and win or lose ride off into the sunset. He’ll be set for life money-wise and if he loses at least it’ll be against a top boxer and not fucking Renan Ferreira lmao
 
Retire. The bag has been secured, there's nothing left to prove.
 
Why the fuck is everyone telling him to retire? The guy gets knocked out one time in his entire fighting career and suddenly he should hang it up? He should go to the PFL and actually fight where he signed a deal to first off. Then he can do whatever he wants.
 
Avoid top boxers, avoid Jon Jones, take the PFL fight and go from there.

More than he made in the UFC isn't really saying anything when he deliberately turned down the waay bigger champion's contract they offered him. It's still a big drop off from what the UFC offered him, and a massive drop from what he mde his last 2 fights.

It's gonna be pretty difficult to find the motivation to come back from such a brutal KO for a 90% pay cut.
