Francis Ngannou earned more in 2 boxing fights than his entire UFC career

[ocfightfan]

Good for him. Now that ride is nearly over. He will be lucky to get another high level fight and if he doesn't destroy a top boxer then it will be his last big payday. He can now go bankrupt PFL.

8mil lol. The highest recorded purse in UFC history is like 3 million.

Francis himself said he was offered $8m watch his interview with Helwani.

Highest purse might be $3m but once you count PPV there's been plenty of bigger paydays.

DC made $4m to save a card fighting Black Beast short notice.

 

[Trabaho]

Earned brain damage with it too

Next make a thread how Jake Paul is a winner for boxing MMA guys and getting more money than UFC fighters. Honestly MMA fans should like MMA fights, not care about money fights. We could've had Ngannou vs Jones/Aspinall/Pavlovich/others. Instead we got to watch him vs 2 of the top boxers. Don't get it wrong, I'm happy he got success, but as a fan we missed out on great fights.

If ufc loses this lawsuit, you’d be missing even more. UFC is about to be what they always hated about boxing

You don't see people mad that Francis left the UFC to make more money in boxing in these forums?

With any discussion there may be some outliers but I think its just more of a pushback against Francis nutswingers praising him about how he conned the UFC and deserved 20 million for a fight which neither is true.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Yup if the brand itself sold they could have no names headline and get a high buyrate. And they absolutely can't do that in most places. The value in the brand is leveraging it to get the best fighters. Nobody cares about a ufc card filled with people they've never heard of and we've seen this proven many times.

90% of the cards nowadays are filled with no names but yet it still sells.

Only thing I argued that he made more money then he made in the UFC, and he took losses lol

They do ok buys. They never do huge numbers unless they have names attached.

 

[jjjjjjjjjjohnny]

some people fight for money, some people fight to get paid, some people fight for the sport.... more power to him for getting paid. he earned his spot and took advantage of it.

 

[Black0ut]

The PPV didn’t even sell 5k lol. Between that and Frank being ranked like 200something now, I’m curious if he even gets another BIG boxing match.

Even if we take out the alphabet bodies the UFC has gradually been acquiring boxings biggest problems.

Good for him.
Dude's an inspiration. He should be 1-1 as a professional boxer.
That said, looking forward to seeing him fight in a cage again; hopefully against high level competition (which may be difficult since the UFC wasn't willing to pay him.)

He is correctly 0 and 2.

 

[Platinum Perry Mason]

Maybe if the UFC paid better we'd get better fights in MMA.

I just read a thread that said Micheal Pereria was an S level athlete.
S LEVEL
Shut your mouth,eat your kibble, and be grateful for what God gave you.

I thought A level was the highest and F the lowest.

Don't expect logic from silly internet foolishness.

Yeah look at the Sigmas. Being number 2 means you are a loser but being number 18 means you are superior.

They've been proudly beating their chest for years and they never figured it out.

 

[Billthebutcher]

It's a great time to retire Francis, and start your own business.

He made 30 million. Way more then he would have made in the UFC. He doesn't need to fight again.

1, no one knows how many PPV are sold.

2, those numbers even though just a guess are only USA. Boxing isn't popular here.

3, you sound very jelly.

And what do you get out of this? He had two pointless boxing matches and probably won't fight in mma again. Him making money means more to you than seeing good fights? I don't understand the mindset.

Frank's fans act like they're entitled to a percentage.
