I'll lead with the ppv buys.

Here are DC's ppvs numbers:
(from: https://www.tapology.com/search/mma-event-figures/ppv-pay-per-view-buys-buyrate)
860,000 - UFC 214 Cormier vs. Jones 2 2017.07.29
800,000 - UFC 182 Jones vs. Cormier 2015.01.03
380,000 - UFC 226 Miocic vs. Cormier 2018.07.07
375,000 - UFC 187 Johnson vs. Cormier 2015.05.23
300,000 - UFC 210 Cormier vs. Johnson 2 2017.04.08
250,000 - UFC 192 Cormier vs. Gustafsson 2015.10.03

Here are Brock's numbers sorted by date (most recent at top):
1,009,000 - UFC 200 Tate vs. Nunes 2016.07.09
750,000 - UFC 141 Lesnar vs. Overeem 2011.12.30
1,050,000 - UFC 121 Lesnar vs. Velasquez 2010.10.23
1,160,000 - UFC 116 Lesnar vs Carwin 2010.07.03
1,300,000 - UFC 100 UFC 100 2009.07.11
1,010,000 - UFC 91 Couture vs Lesnar 2008.11.15

My point is pretty simple, Brock is the biggest money fight out there (for god knows what reason other than wwf fans are used to paying for ppvs) but past that DC and Jones struck a magic that other fights didn't. After dropping the first 2 and getting head kick KOed in the second it won't sell as well as it could. However it has a few things going for it with DC being the Champ-Champ, the fight is Jon's heavyweight debut and it's DC's swan song... I could see that pulling more than the first 2 DC Jones fights did. I could see it being competitive with Lesnar DC numbers, especially riding a win over Brock.

I don't think Jon deserves the privilege of fighting but he is cleared. If I'm DC I'll take a chance to avenge my only losses and get potentially my biggest payday on my last fight. Plus DC as a heavyweight does give it a slightly different flavor and make it compelling from a competitive standpoint despite the 2 losses.

Or maybe he goes and fight's Gus again..
Here are Gus's two biggest ppvs:
310,000 - UFC 165 Jones vs. Gustafsson 2013.09.21
250,000 - UFC 192 Cormier vs. Gustafsson 2015.10.03

DC vs. Brock will do at least twice as many PPV buys as DC vs. Jones III, at least.
If, as you say yourself, "Brock is the biggest money fight out there," why should DC fight Jones for a money fight?

Jones doesn’t deserve shit. Fought twice, he cheated twice, fuck him..
 
Jones smoked him twice. No sense in a 3rd fight, most the fans just won't care. Some might but Jones is in DC's head and that's a fight I don't think DC EVER wins

Why wouldn't he just do both?

Fight Brock, make loads of money and get an easy win. Then fight Jones in his last fight ever for the Heavyweight belt.

That’s exactly what TS is proposing, but he is as literate as a ten years old, well maybe he is ten years old, so we should go easy on him.

Yeah I guess I wasn't clear. That's exactly what I'm suggesting. I'm just using the PPV numbers to justify it.

Why is Lil Tay posting on Sherdog??

Because he said he wants 2 more fights. I'd assume at this point in he wants to make as much money as he can. If he's fighting for another reason, say love of the sport before he hangs them up, why wouldn't he fight the top ranked guy instead of calling out Lesnar. Either way, Jones is the top ranked guy and the second biggest money fight. It makes sense for a second fight.
 
I hope DC never gives him a fight. Tito vs Chuck, except in reverse. Social alchemy. The salt which begets salt. The Holy salt.

Most people don't want to see DC Jones 3.

Also Gus Jones 2 would do good numbers.

We would hope. I could see it pulling 400k but I doubt it would hit 750+ unless there was another big fight on the same card, say holloway ortega or woodley covington.
 
Yup. No mma fan is asking for the Brock fight.

Cute

If he’s only going to fight once more then Brock is going to make him the most money. If he’s fighting more then that then yeah Jones is the next biggest fight

He’s been pretty adamant for a years now that he plans to retire at 40, which is next spring if I remember right
 
Fighting Brock and winning is like a multiplier though for that Jones’ money. Makes way more sense from a business perspective.

To still talk about Jones "smoking" DC after he got busted for roids twice (and other questionable things he has done) shows your lack of brain power and truth seeking ability. Most jones huggers have the same sociopathic mentality.
