News Francis Ngannou is getting paid 8-figures for his fight against Tyson Fury, per Ariel Helwani

[BoxerMaurits]

Instead of the previously reported 8-million dollars

 

[Arm Barbarian]

In B4 Bozopotomus o-ring polishers

[blurple]

So between 10 mil and 99 mil.

 

[JustBleed69]

I remember people on here were clowning me for saying if Francis got a fight vs Fury or Wilder that he would make tens of millions.

Where are you guys now?

 

[CJrider]

Good for him, lucky guy I truly thought Fury would not give a shit once Ngannou didn't have the heavyweight world champ title associated to him.

[usernamee]

as expected

anything less and Fury might as well literally pissed in Ngannou's face

nice for Francis to get all that dough in just one fight

 

[Dorkman]

Good for him. Not really all that interested in the fight, but glad the guy found the pay day he was looking for.

 

[sdpdude9]

Good for him. Took a risk and it paid off. Looked rocky for a bit but ultimately he won this gamble.

 

[CasualBot]

10 - 15 million seems logic, cannot see it exceeding 20 million.

 

[purpleheart]

Ha, well played Francis. The supposed 8 mill from Dana was probably for a ten fight deal coming with a 900 page legal document.

All the daily trash on here; Francis misplayed, losing value everyday blabla. Even offensive stuff like 'go back to sandmines'. Francis did well fore himself no mather the outcome of this.

 

[Small Town Andrew]

I wouldn't believe this would be possible but the fight reportedly taking place in Saudi Arabia changes everything. They will overpay for any form of american entertainment.

I dont think the fight will sell all that well so if his payment was based on PPV buys I wouldn't believe it

 

[Paul E Gensinger]

It its 12-15M he already had that. He said he left 7M on the table and supposedly there was 8 to fight Jon Jones.

 

[Final Say]

I know a lot of idiots who argued with me that he for sure made a mistake and they declared vindication when he signed with pfl….

where you at now?

 

[Final Say]

It its 12-15M he already had that. He said he left 7M on the table and supposedly there was 8 to fight Jon Jones.

You’re talking about 3 fights minimum. 8 figures guaranteed for one fight exceeds anything possible for him in the ufc.

BTW leaving it on the table means it included the Jon fight since he walked away from it.


Let’s stop trying to spin this and give Francis his props already

 

[Morning Star]

So between 10 mil and 99 mil.

Virtually identical

 

[sandokan83]

Let´s not forget that he is negotiating with Tyson Fury. What today is true, tomorrow is stranger.

 

[FlowchartRog]

So between 10 mil and 99 mil.

I'll go out on a limb and say it's $99,000,000 - that's generally what people mean by 8 figures.

 

[Domitian]

I didn't think the fight with Fury was going to happen but I did think the Arabs might throw a ton of money at Francis for a fight. I was part way right. Good for him. He definitely won the war.
