Media Dana White responds to media member's "stupid question" about Jones vs Ngannou, PFL co-promotion

Dana's not interested, he tried to make that fight. Stupid question.

<{katwhu}>

Vince is right, he's a much better businessman.

He'd have made that fight happen.

Vince controls the outcome of the match lol, it's apples and oranges.

It would be bad business for Dana to work with PFL for one fight vs Ngannou, risk him beating Jones, elevating another company and devaluing the UFC heavyweight championship. Not smart.
 
Dana’s right, why would he co promote with a lesser org and up their status. Dana is thinking in business terms, offcrouse he would love to have Jones vs Ngannou or Ngannou vs [insert name] in the UFC. It ain’t going to happen so he’s move on.
 
Lmao, how did he fuck up with Ngannou. Ngannou made money, but he ain't worth it basing by the last PPV views and buys. inb4 "Saudis don't care they threw money away basically."
If he had given Ngannou the possibility to go boxing, he would have risked 0$, leaving the saudis take care of that, and end up with much more profits for the next Ngannou fight in the UFC. Basically for free.
 
Francis has moved to another promotion. Fans can continue to blame Dana or just accept it and move on. Co-promotion is not happening. Might as well get over it. Watch Francis in his PFL fights and be content.
 
Then why didn’t anyone buy his fight a couple weeks ago
Are you serious? Because nobody alive predicted Francis would even be competitive let alone score a knock down and, to some, arguably win the fight. The way that fight played out shocked both sports and saw Ngannous stock rise exponentially.

Nope Francis was asking for a ton of demands, not just to be able to box
 
I hate Dana and he fumbled the bag with Francis but he was on fire today in the press conference.
Respect that reporter asking it tho. Wish someone had asked him why DDP is fighting in Toronto instead of khamzat like Dana guaranteed?
 
Nothing in it for them, all a cross promotion event would do is possibly hurt the UFC. PFL is the only legitimate threat right now because they have a lot of money to throw around.
