Learn how to walk and eat again
Ngannou isn't the best HW in the world either, nor is he anywhere near the biggest draw like Conor was. Yeah he would have lost to Khabib regardless, but he came back to headline the event with the highest PPV buys in history and probably walked away with $30-40 million in PPV bonuses.Conor wasn't the best fighter in the world, he jumped up to win the lightweight title against a stylistically good matchup. If he had stayed in MMA he would have lost to Khabib regardless and not gotten the massive Floyd payday. I don't see how any amount of focus leads to him beating Khabib. The guy is just better.
Ngannou is not only probably the best heavyweight in the world but he's fighting in a much weaker division now. Unless his chin is cracked he shouldn't have any issues fighting in the PFL.
The issue is that he can lose again in boxing and that purse would be equal to several PFL fights. It might be more worth it to take another 1-2 losses in boxing then retire.Stay away from boxing, he just isn’t an elite fighter in that sport. Go back to MMA, get a few more big paycheques and ride into the sunset.
Who is then? Jones? The guy with one fight in the division? Ngannou's the most proven heavyweight in the world and left the UFC with the title.Ngannou isn't the best HW in the world either
He made 30 mil in 5 months guy.nor is he anywhere near the biggest draw like Conor was.
He made more fighting Floyd. And his next 3 fights were definitely a lower salary.Yeah he would have lost to Khabib regardless, but he came back to headline the event with the highest PPV buys in history and probably walked away with $30-40 million in PPV bonuses.
He fought one of the top 3 boxers in the world, even Conor didn't do that. No one has. The Joshua fight is what everyone expected the Fury fight to be. That doesn't mean he's suddenly gonna start sucking in MMA. And his opponent is getting 2 million, so what do you think he's getting? No reason for him not to come back for an easy paycheck.That's pretty different from coming back after a brutal KO for a minor league fight against a guy nobody knows that he might not even win for a small fraction of the money.
I seriously doubt he gets another big payday like that after this performance. They might offer him a million, maybe 2 but he isn’t making 20 million ever again.The issue is that he can lose again in boxing and that purse would be equal to several PFL fights. It might be more worth it to take another 1-2 losses in boxing then retire.
Yeah make Wilder look like Ali and get put to sleep again. Great idea.He should fight Wilder. Stay away from fighting Usyk or an AJ rematch.
Not a bad move
He hasn’t been paid that much in boxing and he certainly isn’t now when even Frank’s jock riders realize Fury carried him.The issue is that he can lose again in boxing and that purse would be equal to several PFL fights. It might be more worth it to take another 1-2 losses in boxing then retire.
