😂😂. I'll take that deal.
You forgot the venom coupons
50$ longhorn giftcard>2 year outback membership

Maybe dont be a UFC fighter if you don't like the pay
*Lesser opponents = best HW boxer of the past 20 years in his prime
Boxe is not MMA
@@nyr3485he is an MMA fighter not a boxer if anything he's fighting out of his comfort zone, something most of you cowards can't do lol😂
@@nyr3485now go work in a company you aren’t an expert in and become the expert and out perform everyone in the company including the CTO in 6months.
In an exhibition that said HW boxer didn't even train for. Then, he squared off with a trained former champ and was embarassed.
This didn't age well lmfao
He wasn’t there to put the belt after the Francis fight. He didn’t see the most anticipated fight. Everyone was watching but Dana? He’s full of it lmao
Lesnar said Dana gave him a lot of money. He was getting paid over 8 million per fight.
Ngannou is just greedy. Who even asks for an executive position? Not even McGregor is gonna get that. Africans have no idea how business works. They are just very very bad at business. That goes not only for ngannou but also for every African.
Dana may be salty. But the statement he said here still holds true. Fansis IS fighting easier opponents for more momey
@@pandamanda1Found the 🤡. Dana, woman hitting coward that he is, blew the Ngannou/Jones fight by calling BOTH men scared two years apart. Could have backed Francis' play, and now he'd be in position to lord that success over boxing, which in turn adds value. Get Dana's 🥒 out of your mouth and enjoy slap boxing.
@@pandamanda1tyson fury and anthony Joshua are easier fights? You are a clown mate
The whole “lesser opponents” line was actually what he says about Cyborg after they let her go.
What a goofy thing to say lmao. Who wouldn’t want to make more money to do an easier job
Tyson the lesser opponent
Dana continues the tradition of trashing fighters on their way out of the UFC.
hes not trashing Francis at all
@@CommandoBrickLEGOstarwars really? "Francis wants to fight lesser opponents for more money"...This has a negative connotation and implies that Francis is avoiding/scared of the "higher" competition in the UFC. Dana could have easily said something like "unfortunately we couldn't come to an agreement with Francis so he's no longer under contract with the UFC". But he loves giving a parting "slap" to his former fighters.
Also he said "we're releasing Francis..." Once again spinning the truth, implying THEY made the choice to let him go. They didn't release him. He had a sunset clause in his agreement, meaning it expired on a given date, and was free without any say from the UFC.
@moco legit analysis ty
He's not wrong. Dana said it straight up.
How did he trash him?
Good for Francis! This is big. He escaped the machine.
to jump into a pond? what money will he get over the biggest deal he could have gotten over everyone else? you could make a joke about it being 200 fight deal but It ain't like this dude is young maybe another 8 fights in him max anyways

I think you begin to know what these fighters think and feel once they get into a top position. Many of them are confident and take risk and the other kind become guarded and want to be secured to pick and choose but also to be paid what they want.
What makes Francis any different or any better than any other fighter or champion? Nothing. This is just who he is.

how about now? His pro boxing career is more or less over now.
well Sean Strickland was talking about how broke most retired UFC fighters end up... can't blame Francis for looking out for himself
😂
yeah u can ... what a greedy a.. clown
Sean Strickland was talking about the guys that made the ufc to what it is today. They were fighting for peanuts. Sean is more then happy with what he gets, and he is by far not the best paid fighter.
You’re telling me Francis couldn’t handle millions of dollars… I’m pretty sure if he went broke it’d be his own fault.
Stop being dumb

Stupid Alfonso.
@@TheImSource 😂😂😂You take your life serious? Stupid Dumbfuck.
Lesnar hasn’t been an active fighter since 2010/2011, the company has grown 5-10x in value since then. Yet Dana admits no HW fighter has gotten a bigger deal since 2010. UFC = U FIGHT CHEAP. Francis made the fight choice.
Spot on point bro I ain’t even think of it like that
It’s funny looking at these comments watching all you grown men whine like babies 😂
The ufc has grown. But individual ppv stay around the same in the high end. Just because they have more events and more TV time, doesn't mean an individual fighter earned more money per fight. Brock was a huge draw. Did Franics match his ppv numbers? Probably not. So getting paid more than Brock is achieving more than he earned.
Good catch, he really told on himself. It's ridiculous.
You clearly don't understand a thing about fighting business and how ppv works
I'm glad people are seeing through Dana's bs lol
He makes big money and these are his contacts. Mac made millions due to his own. Think about the guys who put only fight 2 times in 18 months? No $$.
@@sebastiancabot3378 dana is right. Its business thats run with money, they do cover their fighters when they fight, not fighters getting hurt outside of the ring like francis wanted. Its a fighting game, of course people are going to get hurt. But they’re covered for INJURIES IN THE RING. NOT OUTSIDE THE RING.
Wow you must be stupid.Umm Dana created a billion dollar company. Was worth two million and now is worth a billion plus.
How? Francis turned down big money for big money? Sure he can make more outside of the ufc but when both deals are so big it shouldn’t matter. Francis didnt wanna fight.
"We offered him more money than any other heavyweight contract in history. A 90 fight contract of 300k each, but the dummy turned it down."
This comment perfectly sums it up, highest paid heavy weight is a blanket way of describing the contract. What are the terms of the agreement because you might as well assume it’s as ridiculous as this comment.

4 fights for 8 million a fight. you take your head out your a yet? nah? pry not
@@calmdown9094 The last 4 PPV events FN headlined sold on average between 3 and 400k buys. Which means the UFC made roughly $150M from those 4 fights. So even if they were paying him $8M a fight for his next 4 fights (btw, source please LOL), and the buys were to remain the same...the UFC would make $118M (minimum) compared to his $32M (maximum).

You've got to respect a man's choices.
@@sebastianconstantin5176 And without fail a deluded "fan of ufc brand name" or ufc paid/unpaid shill pops up to throw dirt on fighters. The same fighters who without them ufc is absolutely nothing. The same fighters who are the actual product real fans tune in to watch. Just take a sec an decipher this, Dana White during last nights press conference, knowingly or unknowingly, let the cat out of the bag when he said:
Francis wanted to go somewhere he can fight "lesser competition and make a lot of money".
That there is 100% proof and admission by Dana that ufc knows their great roster of fighters are being underpaid by the ufc. What makes zero sense to me is so called "fans" like yourself who still choose to not only pay a blind eye to the clear facts but also go ham shilling for the ufc (paid or unpaid), while at the same time insulting, degrading, downplaying, and basely and emphatically claiming the fighters have no value without the ufc brand name. You truly should be ashamed of yourself for your illogically nonsensical approach on this subject matter. Smh. Your nonsense comment is the equivalence of me telling you to stick with your first job ever (let's say you were a pizza delivery guy for Dominos who gets paid in dirt, lint and peanuts) because without the brand name of your first job you won't ever be anything else. In view of this example, please reconsider your crusade to talk down the fighters who have literally gave their blood, sweat, tears and health for your entertainment, while Dana is fanboying at a podcast and giving away $250k to people who don't need it or have anything to do with the success of the ufc. Just do some basic thinking before you pump out another one of these ufc shill-tastic comment of yours.

PFL needs to unload the brinks truck. If Francis ends up there,this could start a wave for them.Jake Paul and Francis will draw fighters to join.He also has boxing options to collect a bag.
Companies do this and fail. Remember when affliction was going to change the game with higher pay? Turns.out you need returns on investment to make it last.
@@shady610 I see PFL and One failing after a couple years because we are not gonna care. The opponent will be just another guy Francis will knock out to the fans. Maybe Bellator has some guys but idk a single heavyweight in Bellator tbh. The only organizations built for Francis imo is one of the boxing organizations. I think Francis will do well in the ring I think his power will take him farther than even he thinks

But not OneFC. Speak for yourself when you say ‘wE aRE nOt gOnNA cArE’ cause One is huge is Asia.
It’s arguably more popular in Asia than the UFC is in the west.
And they were smart enough to integrate 3 types of kickboxing sports (Muay Thai, Lethwei and traditional Dutch kickboxing) into their promotion/organisation giving more profits from a wider variety of combat sports. OneFC ain’t going anywhere anytime soon.
I would like to see francis vs jake for sure
We are with you Francis!!!
Comparison with Lesnar is bonkers. The UFC has evolved so much since then.
I mean if he got the most so far.. but even more then Cormier
It's a shame the bootlicking media didn't follow up on that, he admitted that they haven't paid a HW more money since 2010 even though the company is worth $5 billion today.
He made 5 million
also it's not like lesnar's run was exciting or something, all the guy did was take steroids and lay on top of mid level fighter or washed legends, ngannou was literally KOing everyone from former champions to GOATs like cain and stipe
and he still wants to make that comparision

I'm sure the money was great, it's more about wanting to box as well and not be locked into a long term/exclusive deal. I'd put money on that being his main issue.
The money offered to him from Dana might be huge but the contract is shitty, Jones “the goat” resigned for 8 more fights at the age of 35 going on 36 imagine what Francis would have to resign for.

Eddie Alvarez on Francis Ngannaou leaving the UFC - "Nobody in the UFC is “afraid” of anyone. The men who fight there are there to fight the best … The UFC is afraid to pay fighters, this is the only reason people leave, fighters don’t give a f*ck who the next opponent is, they do care about what the pay will be. Keep it real and just say we lost the bid, Someone is paying more and end it there.
“It’s counterintuitive to pay fighters large purses because they become less cooperative and more dependent. The business works perfect when everyone is broke and begging to fight at the drop of a hat. Cooperation is key. Large purses disrupt their own business.”
I don't know the details of their issue but I imagine we will see more of this type of outcome in the future. When fighters and promoters bicker over money it never ends well for the fans.
There are 2 types of fans I guess. MMA fans and UFC fans. I’m a MMA fan and I will follow good fighters wherever promotion they go so I don’t think it’s really bad for the fans in my opinion. I think the sport could use the competition and fans would benefit from it.
I don't think it was due to money.. More to do with how long the contract ran for and other avenues outside of the ufc.. like, not being able to box etc.. I think Francis gave a statement on it saying it was basically him being held hostage or prisoner
I believe Francis, not this guy
He doesn't Wana take a lot risks... Where he could fight lesser opponents and make more money.
Dana and his ego speaking. 🤦
Francis clearly said it it's not all about money it's freedom. It's a simple thing even casuals can see.
He didn't like the idea of being locked in the contract
Good for Francis! Fighters get absolutely screwed by little rich weasels. Smart man
who doesn't want more money
And easier fights, lol
Sounds like a pretty good deal.
@@AndersRosendalBJJ where do I sign up
It's a complete loss for Francis. He might get one great payday out of it. If he steps in a boxing ring with any notable heavyweight boxer, he will lose. If he goes to PFL and gets beat he is basically completely done. It's a really bad move.
How is it a bad move? Stay the ufc for harder fights and get paid less? Or go somewhere else and likely make way more and have an easier time doing it
It's prizefighting. If someone wants to pay a bigger prize to do the same thing he's already doing how is it a loss? It's a massive loss for the UFC for letting him go when he was one of their home grown stars.
Well, in MMA Francis has to fear nobody atm. You just fall for Dana's excuses. Ngannou wanted a significantly bigger share and rightfully so but UFC probably fears this could have become a slippery slope. So they couldnt find an agreement. Francis will be fine. Either he KOs one after another in PFL for more money or he fulfills his dream of fighting boxers like Fury
Boxing 10 million one fight win or lose.
Luckily you were his manager. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He acts like fighting lesser opponents for more money is dumb. 😂
Lesnar made 5 million years ago. Imagine what Francis would of now

Dana messed up a superfight between GSP and Khabib when both agreed to the fight. Again he robbed us the fans from this superfight.
Shame on you Dana. Dana should retire now and slap around.

@@sebastianconstantin5176 do some research brother. In 2019 GSP was down to fight Khabib at 155 for the belt. Dana refused that. He didn't want to risk Khabib's undefeated record. Even khabib was down to fight GSP. Both even tried to make it happen in catch weight. But Dana turned all that down.
Do some research

You should really have more respect for these people that MAKE YOU, you don’t make them, PAY THEM or at least let us watch you fight somebody once a year.
No one fighter will break the UFC.
All these fighters that think they are worth 20 million a fight make me smile. They are delusional. Ngannou has zero appeal or recognition outside of fight fans and is gonna have a seriously bad day in 2 years when he is about as relevant as a dirty sock and can’t find a promotion anywhere to pay him 1/2 what he was making in the UFC.

I too am rooting for Ngannou's son !
@@UTubeSpammer *Ciryl got ROBBED
@@UTubeSpammerJust like Reyes
@@sandman62100 by who? lmaooo Francis put him in that Helicopter Helicopter animation 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately those texts really showed how much he wanted. Guy wants 30 million for a boxing event now. No wonder this happened
We offered him a Big Mac meal super-sized. He turned it down
He’s basically saying he’s going to PFL
Dang. I’m sure he’ll box some dudes up, or head to another promotion to get properly paid. Then come back home and for shits and giggles when he don’t need the money 👊🏽
Wrong
no lol he won't get pay he wants if he doesn't fight champion contender hvwt famous name hvwt boxers so he needs to take Tyson fury's offer and get beaten and collect and perhaps take another boxers call-out which hvwt boxers are going call out Francis when he loses to Tyson fury as pretty sure Joshua or Wilder would fight Francis and do same as Tyson and boxing won't be interested in Francis and give him the boot but the guy will be rich and wont need to fight in mma and retire.
That eye flutter he’s lying
I said Ngannou would fight Fury for a lot more money than the UFC would pay him and it became a reality. Good for Francis. He really proved Dana wrong
Been going through the comments and no one is agreeing to what Dana is saying.
Francis just made millions signing to fight with Fury.
Completely applaud Francis.
