Imagine being PFL.
Francis was contractually obligated to fight you early 2024. you had it in the bag that he was coming to you as both the arguably best MMA fighter and boxer. He called you saying he had been offered the AJ fight and you got greedy thinking he might have another performance in him before you enforce your contract so you let him fight AJ only for him to get absolutely fucking nuked from orbit in 3 minutes.
Now he gets to crawl back to you reminding you about your millionaire paydays for him where you also owe him 50% of the PPV, PFL Africa, his board chair, and a $2M purse for Perreira.
Holy fuck, what a colossal fumble by PFL.
