Yes but most of time its calculated strips. We will eventually get Fury vs Usyk but it sure took time to get thereIn Boxing you fight the top guy or you get stripped.

This post right here is perfectly said.Between the second Stipe fight, and the Gane fight Ngannou SAID he lost $7M by not re-signing before the the Stipe rematch. And he was offered $8M to fight Jones. So that would have been $15M for those 3 fights alone.
I never quite understand why people just somehow seem to forget to mention that? It’s disingenuous as fuck. Actually it’s completely dishonest. If you need to lie to make your point. You have a shitty point.
And he lied his ass off to you people over, and over. And you still kiss his ass. He conned the shit out of you people, and you’re happy about it.. ummmm ok.
Ngannou won against who? The PFL, absolutely.no fighter fights for fun, 99%.9 do it for money, so Ngannu won against the UFC no matter what negative things they say about angannu
Hell, I guess you and I agree more than disagree , lol
The only thing I'd say about the UFC is that they have pulled some petty bullshit along the way. As good as Ngannou was, they took little jabs at him for a time. Remember this:
Thank you.How did the UFC lose? They're not the ones who paid millions to see him get flatlined.
PFL did though.
I see awesome fights and matchups all the time. But they should pay the fighters more, definitely.Maybe if the UFC paid better we'd get better fights in MMA.
Personally I suspect beyond just short term greed the UFC actually prefer to keep MMA fairly small in terms of talent base as it makes it easier to dominate.The greed at the brass level is to high
In the land of Capitalism, Jake Paul is in the winner's circle.Next make a thread how Jake Paul is a winner for boxing MMA guys and getting more money than UFC fighters.
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.)
In Boxing you fight the top guy or you get stripped.
I do not believe these figures of 50 M to Joshua and 20 M to Ngannou.
Exactly its his legacy vs money. He could've beat Jones and Aspinall and been the HW goat. Instead he got the circus fights.As a fan, I only think selfishly about what I want to see. could give a fuck if francis goes and fights boxing who cares? he's an mma fighter, It's where he's made a name for himself.
you say you're happy he got success, I think he got exploited like a Caged Gorilla tourist hurl handfuls of peanuts at. yes he's financially secure, but when he was UFC champion, He was successful, In boxing he just got Violently KO'D and made look like an amatur. Where's the success? he found wealth, but I would not call it success. If anything it ruined his reputation and possibly his career.
That was just a little mistake by whatever intern was in charge of writing up the graphics for that card. Lol at the conspiracy minded people in MMA where there are no little mistakes or errors allowed to happen from a promotion that pumps out 40+ event broadcasts a year, no, it must be a conspiracy to the highest level with orders from Dana himself! <Lmaoo>
Yup. And the really big fights usually some kind of rematch clause in them so fighters can't just move onto the next lesser guy if the obvious next fight should be a rematch.In Boxing you fight the top guy or you get stripped.
Saudi Arabia cared so much about having Francis/Joshua that they held it on a Friday so it wouldn't interrupt their F1 Grand Prix happening over the weekend.......it's Saudi Arabia, which makes it very believable. They've gone mental on sports in recent years.
But no one really knows.
